i r V ' . -z..-.s THE GREEN AND WHITE STAFF imz-A.? - . as .- EDITORIAL THE ATOMIC AGE When the American B-29 dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan, a new era in civiliz- ation was heralded. The new era brings with it revolution in science and politics. For the moment we are interested in the new po- litical phase. To the American people, it is a bitter pill to swallow-to realize that no part of the United States is immune from an atomic at- tack. The wide stretches of the Atlantic and the Pacific no longer have any defensive value, an atomic war would be so catastrophic that the world would probably never sur- vive it. How can a future atomic war be avoided? The only way that peace may be maintained is for the United States and the other na- tions of the world to form an organization that would insure world security. The United Nations of today might solve the p1'oblem. However, no world organization will be successful if balance of power, spheres of influence, and power politics are to be used by the various states as has been practised in the past. All the governments in the or- ganization will have to be sincere in their dealings with the United Nations and each country will have to abide by the Charter. What part will the United States have in this organization? The United States of America must play an active part in the United Nations to assure the world that the American people want peace and are deter- mined to prevent further wars. The Ame1'i- can youth can no longer maintain his non- ehalant attitude toward international affairs because the United States has so suddenly been brought into the heart of world af- fairs, The American youth will have an im- portant role in World History. America will have to be ready to keep the peace. An atomic war may truly be 'the war to end all wars.
