Read the following excerpt from President Harry Truman's radio address to the American people on August 9, 1945. Which two lines

imply that the use of the atomic bomb by the Allies was a lesser evil compared to its use by the Axis powers? I realize the tragic significance of the atomic bomb. Its production and its use were not lightly undertaken by this Government. But we knew that our enemies were on the search for it. We know now how close they were to finding it. And we knew the disaster, which would come to this Nation, and to all peace-loving nations, to all civilization, if they had found it first. That is why we felt compelled to undertake the long and uncertain and costly labor of discovery and production. We won the race of discovery against the Germans. Having found the bomb we have used it. We have used it against those who attacked us without warning at Pearl Harbor, against those who have starved and beaten and executed American prisoners of war, against those who have abandoned all pretense of obeying international laws of warfare. We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans. We shall continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan's power to make war. Only a Japanese surrender will stop us.

The lines which imply the use of the atomic bomb by the Allies was a lesser evil compared to its use by the Axis powers are these:

  • We knew that our enemies were on the search for it. We know now how close they were to finding it. And we knew the disaster, which would come to this Nation, and to all peace-loving nations, to all civilization, if they had found it first.

President Truman realized the horrific devastation the atomic bomb had the ability to cause.  But he stated his purpose in using it as one to "shorten the agony of war" and "save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans."   He believed that if the Axis powers were allowed to continue, they would only continue to bring war and further devastation to the world.

Why does an increase in literacy rates often accompany an increase in per capita income?
dem82 [27]

The answer is:

People who can read and who receive an education are eligible for higher-paying jobs.

Literate people and literacy rates are accompanied by the ultimate study grade that people have, this means the more you read, the more academical prepared you are, this makes you eligible for better payed jobs. Wages tend to go up depending on how prepared the person who is contracted is to do the job this will reflect on the per capita income.
