outlook and various other matters Last fall there was the prediction repeated early tits year despite continued high em ployment that 'by June of 1946 there would be eight million people hunting jobsOn the basis of this President Truman de manded increased unemployment compensation and some other leg islation to steer the course of the ship of state clear of a tidal wave of recession or

outlawed It may be used if thereshould be another great war This new weapon new at all It is the old enemy of mankind the germ and the microbe and its ap plication to armed conflict goes by the name of warfare" In 1943 it was reported that the Nazis were contemplating an at tack on the British islands with biological agents carried in rock ets Thereupon our ar Depart ment through its chemical war fare service and the Navy through Medical Research Unit No 1 went to work to develop both offensive and defense methods: fighting germs released by an enemy and ways to spread them most effec tively over enemy territory Scientists point out that this method of waging war is effective not only against human beings put can also be used to destroy growing crops and domestic ani mals all forms of life being sub ject to germ diseases Indeed the War Department is said to have contemplated destruction last year of the Japanese rice crop by this method 'The only drawback to biological warfare is that it is difficult to control spread of diseases unleash ed by it Germs recognize no battle lines no boundaries and once an epidemic has been started it may sweep a contmCiitj evefc the whole world

will be acceptable to the other powers i While the foreign ministers are now in their fourth session their deputies have been meeting almost continuously since the Big Three conference at Potsdam More
