is too much running around in rings
in Washington. The way congress-
men and administration officials arc
acting, one would think they arc in
Il state of total panic.
While the country is anxious that
everything practicable and possible
be done for safeguarding the ma
tional defense, it would be vastly
more heartening to all good citizens
if those responsible for shaping and
executing the program would get to-
scthcr and decide Just what they do
want. From the White House comes
one figure. from army and navy men
another. and congressman offer leg
iSlaton that is still different.
No one seems to know just what is
wanted or needed. And that ought
10 be the first duty to be performed.
One thing that seems very clear,
however. is that the SpcndcrS arc
bent on taking every advantage Of
the state of mind of the people to
soak them for all they will stand for.
If two billion dollars, or four bill
lion dollars, or even ten billions vii;
be necessary to do complete job OF
imprcgnuting America against for
cign invasion, there ought to be
some sort of meeting Of minds to
agree ON the exact amount. Then
the country should be told what the
bill will be and plans made TO fl
