No Moral Issue Involved
In Using the Atomic Bomb
one's1 permission to use it.
And we certainly should not have to
wait until the enemy employs it. for by
that time it mijrht well be too late for us
to drop it with the most telling effect.
Suppose for argument's sake that we
should become embroiled in full-scale war
with Red China. Our leaders should not
yield to frantic calls that the A-bomb be
promptly dumped on major Chinese cities.
On the other hand, neither should they be
deterred from using the weapon by heart-
felt cries that it is “inhuman.” So. is a bul-
let.
Their decision should be made on the
basis of the military realities they then
confront. The A-bomb is costly. \Ve don’t
have an unlimited store. Is the advantage
to be gained through dropping it sufficient
to offset these factors?
Can the same result be achieved more
efficiently by other means? Or is the dis-
position of enemy resources such that the
A-bomb's terrific concentration of force
can be applied effectively?
These are the types of questions mili-!
tary men would ask themselves in any big
war. A final decision likely would have
to be made by the President as comman- i
der-in-chief. But the ingredients of that
decision should be military—not moral. __!
nitude of its impact. The ways in which
it kills are the ways all bombs kill. It
simply strikes down many more'people at
one time.
It is no more immoral to use an A-
bomb than to use a pistol if the weapon is
employed in pursuit of aggressive aims.
That’s the point: the real moral offense is
aggression, for it is this crime which lets
down the bars to violence.
Once we are in a war, it must be left
to the discretion of our high command
what weapons to use and when. That must
be so whether we are fighting the Rus-
sian.- or the Chinese or anybody. There
can be no rule that we are free, to use the
A-bomb against one enemy but not against
another. Nor should we have to get any-

Washington. — Mr. and Mrs. Capus Waynick vice
are talking about going “home" to Managua, Nic-
aiitgua, irs January, though they own a 130-acre
farm near Raleigh, N. C., and have lived in the
capital since last May.
Mr. Waynick was asked by President Truman
last sp ing to come back to the United States to
help set up the Point Four program. Believing
they would be here only about three months, they
bit Midget, their toy Boston terrier, whom Mrs.
V\ aynick describes as "quite a charac ter," with
the staff and servants of the embassy.
“We love the country, the people, the climate
an : the embassy residence.” Mrs. Waynick told
we. adding that their "home" in Manuga, especial-
ly buiit for the U. S. Ambassador, is situated on
a G-4-acre hillside plot overlooking Lake Managua
and the mountains.
The 23-room white stucco, Spanish-type man-
sion was partially furnished, but like all U. S. dip-
lomatic service folk the Waynicks took along their
own silver, linens, and bric-a-brac and picked up
native paintings, furniture, and other items to
make the place seem like their own. In addition,
the ambassador is building up a fine collection of
native wood carvings of the pre-Columbian era.
Life in Managua. Mrs. Waynick tells me, is
very gay. The people the Waynicks meet are
highly cultivated and speak good T'rench and Eng-
lish.
“We have a terrific schedule—a formal wing-
ding about once a week, stag luncheons, cocktail
and buffet supper parties and such," Mrs. Waynick
said. “Sometimes we have a dance.”
