.'During this hopefui summer, fol-lowing
the meeting of the Four Great
Powers in Geneva,, our gathering
has proved that irrespective of dif-ferent
beliefs, races and languages,
we can work together, and that this
cooperation is necessary in order to
defend our right to a proper life in
peace, and our right to work, edu-cation,
happiness and friendship.
"Nothing can stop us from remain-ing
true friends and assuring that in
each of our countries the slogan of
"Peace and Friendship" inscribed on
the Festival flag becomes the com­mon
property of ali young people. •
"Friends, yoimg men and women,
youthful forces of the whole world.
"Listen to our appeal:
"Let us get together still more for
the same aims and m similar ac-tivities.
"Let ixs act so that the ideals of
the Festival live and triumph.
"As we have done here, let us
strengthen everywhere our mutual
knowledge and relations^ and our
friendship; the friendship and coope­ration
among ali peoples. Let us rein-force
again the activities-that are
more necessary than ever, to assure
peace. Let us work together for the
relaxation of international tension,
for disarmament, for the prohitaition
of atomic weapons and: ali weai>ons
of mass destruction.
"Let us umte for the defence of our
youth, our hopes for progress, and-bright
tomorrows for ali huraanlty."
"The Fifth Festival, as the appeal
stated, proved beyond a doubt, the
deslre and the abihty of youth to
live jn friendship. One of the most
thrilling events Tvas the meeting
of the youth of the -Five Great
Pöwers—Britain France, China,
U.SA. and U.S,SJl. They found there
wa3 a common basis for friendship
and pledged themselves to work in
the spirit of the Festival for lessenr

A CANADIAN CHRISTIAN
SPEAKS
At the meeting of Qhristian youth
the evenvhelming desire for peace on
thei part of; ali, from PÖlish Cätholic
to British Christian Mpvemeht leäd-ers,
fprined the basis for a vigorous
and fruitfui discussion. Bill Vine,
Observer bf the National Councll of
the- Student Christian. MOvement 'Of
Canada töld hpw he had tsome to the
Festival i n spite of furidamental dif-ferences
with the Worid Federation of
be restnctions in meeting people,
average workers etc, but I have f ound
out differently. I was curious about
freedom, m religlon, education and
expression' and during the Festival
I am taking the opportimity provided
to ask about thesequestions.
"For hours I walked a l i over the
town, the reconstructldn of which
IS a .wonder to me. I have spoken
with strangers and nobody prevented
me from doing so. I have visited
churches and found them open a l i
the time.
"I belong to a Christian organi-zation
so I am very much Interested
m the religlous movement, especially
in soQialist countries. I have found
out that religlous -books, magazines
and newspapers are published here.
"One day I went to meet the Indo­nesian
youth. Although we differed
greatly m our beliefs, yet in conse-quence
of a discussion It became
evident to us that a conunonplat-form
of mutual imderstanding, con-cerning
cultural Scientific and sports
exchanges could be found,
"An exchange of artistic ensembles
for instance, could give us the pos-sibility
of learning the cultural tra-ditlons
of other countries. Scientific
delegations could directly exhange
their opinions on topics of Interest,
inform each other of attainments In
the Scientific field. Honest Infor­mation,
unrestricted sale of news-papers
and literature would lielp
greatly. : • - -
"Boys and. firls and jorganizations
in different countries who had the
opportunity to visit other countries,
delegations of young students or of
youth organlzatlons could largely
contribute to enllven the inter­national
youth movement and carry
into eff ect mutual undörstanding and'
the strengthening of ties of friend­ship
.between the youth ali over .the
World.

A small volume of verse was pub­lished
In New'York during the sum­mer
of 1855. On its green cover were
portrayed shoots of grass. It bore
the title Leaves of Grass.
The author's name was not men-tloned.
In one of the poems, how-ever^
there was a reference to "Walt
Whitman, an American . . ."
That was 100 years ago. At the
end of last year the World Peace
Councll called upon the peoples to
mark the lOOth anniversary of the
first publication of Leaves of Grass
as a noteworthy oultural event.
In Leaves of Grass Whitman cons-ciously
dedlcated hIs muse to "the
good Old cause" — the strugglc for
freedom. ThIs flowed naturally from
his democratic outlook and also ac;
corded fully wlth his vlew on the role
of poetry and art..

In his poem By Blue Ontarlo's Shore
he.calls slavery a "murderous, trea-.
oherous consplracy."
His Song of Myself containing a
hymn to the glory of the Negroes and
thelr.physlcal and spirltual splendour,
resounds like a blow against the
raciallst. The poet kisses the slave
"on his right cheek," he hlmself be­comes
the f ugitlve Negro, experlencing

Song of Myself ife ready even to fight

A Boston Ballad pillories the Nor­thern
supporters of slavery and ac-cuses
the "roarers of Congress" of

Whltm&n is one of the greatest
singers of n a t u r ^ . n a t u r c strong and
Joyful. He i s a great l y r i c poet, a h
outstanding master of landscape. / I t
is h i s characteristic not to pause long
o n a n i n d l v i d u a l picture, but to be
constantly o n the move. Forwardi a l -
ways fonvard i n t o the new, the as yet
unknown. .
Although he was a worshipper of
nature's unfadlng beauty, W h l t m an
d i d not iimitate those romantlcs who
contrflsted Its beauty to the "meanness
of man." For Whltman, the hlghest
most miraculous t h l n g was man,
Whltman's hero/ however, was n o t
man i n general, but (the m a n w h o
worked. And It Is noteworthy t h a t It
is i n Leaves of G r a s s t h a t for the f i r st
time there appcars In A m e r i c a n l i t e r ­ature
a p i c t u r e of the l i fe a n d labour
not merely of the farmer but of the
Industrial worker — the m l n e r , the
steelworker. the bullder.
The portraits of the workers and
of the flghters for freedom, and t he
pictures of c i t y life i n Leaves o f G r a ss
are no less fuU of poetry than are
the descrlptlons of nature..
A notable pecullarlty of t h e descrip-tlve
method o f W h l t m a n is h i s use of
hyperbole. I n deplctlng the l y r l c al
hero of Leaves of G r a s s . o n a vast
scale, In declarlng. for example, "1
s k l r t slerras, my p a l m s cover contl-nents,"
W h i t m a n is baslng himself
upon American folk tradition, with
Its characteristic extreme exaggera-tion.-

A ^ i g h t y s p i r i t of m i l l t a n t vitality
permeates the whole poetry of W h l t -
man. What Is the key to h i s o p t i m -
ism?
T h e v l t a l tlmbre of Leaves of Grass
rcflects above a l i t h e attitude towards
reality of the common m a n , t h e work-er
sound i n s p i r i t , a n d feellng himself
a part of a n Immortal whole, the
people. Whltman Is a n optlmlst in
that h e belleves i n t h e people, i n Its
strength and i n i ts future, , A n d this
f a l th Is f o r h l m l l n k e d w l t h ttje c o n -
victlon that the fofces of democracy
wlll triumph over Its enejnles, forcea
hostlle to t he people, I t is l l n k e d w l th
that llberatloh struggle of w h i c h he
was a witness a n d partlcipant.
Describlng h i s own woric, W h i t m an
once wrote that In Leaves of Grass
there echoed the motlf "of manly
friendship, . o f ties o f . natlons a nd
citics a n d their common sympathles
and common brotherhood" And Inr
deed, W h l t m a n afflrmed i n h l a poetry
the grandeur of the s p i r i t of comrade-shlp,
and called for equallty a nd
friendship not only wlthln a narrow
Circle of those who thought alike.
" T h e Good Grey Poet" was a flery
Champion of peace among the peoples,
of the friendship o f the natlons and
the brotherhood of the worker« a l i
over the World.
W l t h JustlQe the progresslve A m e r i ­can
c r i t i c S. SlUen wrote of W h l t m an
early this year that; " O u r supreme n a ­tional
poet Is a l s o o u r most vigorous
spokesman of the i n t e r n a t i o n a l v i ­sion,"
Whltman more t h a n once wrote of
his dream of creating "international
poems" — poems a f f l r m l n g the g r a n ­deur
of a l i peoples. I n h i s o w n fore-word
to the R u s s i a n edition o f Leaves
of Grass (not published during h i s
llfetlme) there resounds a fervent a p ­peal
for friendship 'betveen Russla
and America, To the great peoples o f
Russia the poet sent "affectionate s a -
l u t a t l o n from these »hores In A m e r l -
C3'8 name," Whitman, i t might be
said, beca.me the banner of friendship
between the two peoples, •
The flnest representatives of t he

What Are Isotopes?
Wonderful and varled are the uses
that have been described for Isotopes
at the sclentlsts* conference i n G e ­neva.
But what are these thlngs?
T o get a t the answer we have to
start by l o o k l n g at t h e "Inside" o f an
atom. You can compare this to the
Bolar system.
The atom has a massi ve core, called
It's nucleus, whlch contains over 99.9
per cent of i ts masa.
Circulatlng^ around i t . In m u c h t he
same way as the p l a n c t s do around
the sun, a r e a number of llght par-ticles
c a l l e d electrons.
I n each atom,the ntunber of these
electrons equals t h e number of unlts
of posltlve electrlclty i n i ts nucleus.
The • way a n clement behaves
chemlcally is decided by the number
of electrons i n i ts atoms; every Che­mical
element, Uke, say, hydrogen, or
gold, or uranlum, has a different
number f r om a l l the others.
A l i - t h e Chemical propertl^s of m a t -
ter depend only o n t h e w a y ' t h a t the
electrons of one atom, or a group of
atoms, interact with those of other
atoms. B u t t h e atomic nuclel are not
directly Involved.
Now although all atoms of a Chemi­cal
element have the same number of
electrons, the masses of t h e l r nuclel
can dlffer. For a glven element there
can be between two a n d 20 possUble
mass value for its nuclel. These dif­ferent
types of atoms belonglng to t he
saime element are called lt's Isotopes.
We have seen that the Chemical pro-pertles
o f the isotopes of a n element
are Identlcal. Thelr nuclear proper-tles.
however, are generally very dlf-.
ferent one from another,
Usually one o r m o r e of these Iso­topes
are stäble, It Is these Isotopes,
mlxed i n glven proportlons, which
make up the o r d l n a r y Chemical e l e -
ments whlch we e.ncounter i n every-day
life.
Most of the Isotopes, however, a re
radlo-actlve and o n l y a few of these,
such as r a d i um and t h o r i um exist
naturally,
These radlo-actlvc isotopes even-t
u a l l y decay into other types of atoms
by e m l t t l n g a l p h a and gamma o r beta
and gama rays. Alpha rays are he­l
i um nuclel, beta rays are electrons
and gamma, rays are the same as very
penetratlng X-rays.
Radfoactlve Isotopes are generated
In enormous quantltles by atomic
reactors and rarely a weelc goes by
wlthout some new use f o r t h e lm being
dlscovered.
One of their most spectacular uses
is that of radlotraclng. It a patient
drinks a l l t t l e ordlnary lodlne, i t Is
impossible t o teli where i t eventually
goes In h i s body,
I f the l o d l n e contains radloactlvc
Isotopes, however, Its passage through
the body c a n be t r a c c d b y t h e r a d i a -
