Unlimited Aid
(6) In a statement, general John
I. Pershing, who commanded A.
merican forces in the World war,
urged that the United States send
the Allies unlimited quantities of
airplanes and arms. He also ap-
pealed for contributions to the Red
Cross.
Appealing in a statement for con-
tributions to the Red Cross, the
commander of the American World
war army asserted that the Allies
were fighting "a war for civiliza-
ton" and that they were holding
our front line"
1--WE have a vital concern in the
outcome" he said.
In talking to reporters a short
time previously, Pershing said he
was heartily in favor of compul-
sorry military service in this coun.
try. He added that if such a plan
were adopted an immediate ex.
pansion of the army would be poss
ible in case of a threatened inva-
sion. He recalled that the training

emergency.
The candidate for the president
ial nomination, in an address al
a republican meeting here, declar'
ed that for seven years we have
been divided by a war at home.
The policies of Jul present admin
istration have been conveived in
terms of domestic warfare. It has
been a war by the new deal a.

forces Of this nation.

continued, ito insist that the pres

ellis those who waged that war. .

ed we can turn our attention
Fundamentally to the problem OF
national Defense.
The address was broadcast over
a national network NBC-Red).
Dewey said that while Germany
began it's RECOMMENDATION in prepar-
alton for war seven years ago, the
new deal administration, knowing
of the progress of militarism in
the dictator countries, shut its
eyes and occupied itself with emer-
gencies of its own creation.
MEANWHILE, he continued, "it
spent nearly 60-billion dollars OF
the peoples money. Of this total
six and a half billion dollars was
spent for national defense. Today
we know how badly that job was
done. Now, in a state of hysteria,
without plan Or direction, the new
deal is trying to make up in a few
months the mistakes of seven
years.
"You know the facts. Our army
has no more combat planes than
are destroyed in a weeks fighting
in Europe. And even those planes
carry no armor nor s~elf-sealing
fuel tanks and no adequate firing
armament. The navy is big enough
to defend only one coast at a time.
Our regular army has modern
rifles for only one soldier in six
and the national guard has nc
modern rifles at all. The ammuni-
ton shortage is incredible and
even today there r no means to
make ammunition in quantities., 4
