...Future. "Just as sooner or later the outraged conscience of a community or a nation sets into motion forces which re-establish order under law, so, I firmly believe, the outraged conscience of mankind will set into motion forces which will create in the sphere of international relations unshakable order based...
Meantime, the Algic case made a focal point of the "order and discipline" of the U. S. Merchant Marine. Chairman Kennedy last week revealed that his department had been deluged with complaints from travelers on U. S. ships. Samples: that stewards wake lone, pretty females with "Hi, Babe, get up . . . time for breakfast"; introduce male passengers to comely women aboard; address guests at breakfast, "Well, Buddy, what'll it be this morning"; even lay hands on young women in the corridors of ships.

Atom-smashing machines, most spectacular exhibits of laboratory science, have one feature in common: they must be huge in order to build up and handle the tremendous particle energies which they require for their work. In general they are of three kinds. The first, developed both in England and the U. S.., builds up high voltages by means of transformers and condensers. The second stores static electricity on balloon-sized electrodes until the potential is such that a mighty flow of direct current crosses the gap. For technical reasons, notably the difficulty of constructing a discharge tube which will...
