The article focuses on some recent issues in the United States. U.S. President Harry S. Truman's long-awaited message to the U.S. Congress on the control of atomic energy was a neat, politic, and cautious approach to the, literally, most explosive problem which has yet confronted Western man. The President proposed that the Congress create an Atomic Energy Commission to control and promote the development of atomic power for peacetime uses in the United States. The Stock Exchanges have been pushing ahead with their peace boom in the past week in anticipation of good news from Washington, where Congress has at last turned to the really important subject of tax reduction.
