ton of hospitals and continuous
training of the whole populace.
French Became Panicky.
In France the people didn't know
what to do. They became panicky,
and panic is the chilc of confusion.
The country became disorganized. -
From psychological standpoint,
DR.. Thompson says, the careful Brit
ish preparations for civilians acted
to dissipate fear, avolo panic and
hySterical disorganization.
One of the big problems of de-
fenSe is to keep the country psyche
logically unified and prevent what
happened in France
The mental hygiene of it is to
give people something to do-keep
their minds occupieJ.'
But even with the most careful
preparations of peoples minds. the
shock Of war is bound to take its
toll in increased nervous break
downs and other mental troubles.
Preparation can minimize that dan
ger, but not prevent it entirely.

won't take long when we really get

Dr. thompson looks into the ma

tsrvlew what's happening to the
united States these fall days of
1910.
National defense is not just an
accumulation of planes and tanks
and guns. The people must be pre-

right now.

In just a few months" DR..
Thompson says.
He recalls the United States in
1916 elected President with the
slogan, He kept us out of war"
but IN comparatively short time
the country's attitude had changed.
He predicts that remnants of dis

Then when peace is declared
we'll regain our memory
\ DR.. Thompson listed these as some
Of the major factors in changing
Americas psychology:
The constant stimulation of war
news and the news Of disasters.
Lack of confidence caused by a
long series of disasters to peoples
who were once friendly allies. These
disasters have aroused our anxieties
and fears.
"Defeatist talk-scftie TALKS
also stimulation since it brings
about a confederation"
Americans Idealists.
The psychologist said another fac
tor in slowing a change of attitude
IN this country has been "our hesi-
fancy to believe that world leader
ship would sink to such levels of
barbarism. Americans are idealists
as we'll as fighters"
An indication of the rapidity Of
the change, he said, Is the fact that
some persons are already advocating
that the draft be made permanent
That shows we are getting psyche
logically ready to put the gloves
on"
DR.. Thompson cites England's
psychological preparation" for war
as an example of what might hap
Pen in the United States, and con-
trasted it with the psychological
unpreparedness OF France.
The difference between Britain
and France. he says was the diff

preparation and the lack of it.

to do when invasion threatened

continue these adjustments Tor a
period following the achievement OF
this expansion until the expanding
facilities have caught up with the
accumulated back log OF require
ments.'
This means America will not have
the armor plate capacity it needs
until some time beginning in 1912
and maybe not then. The Navy
Departments letter says the Navy
did what it could with limited funds
and authority. But the President as
commander -in-chief of the United
States Navy and presumably very
familiar with naval problems did
not assert his leadership for what
must be considered a paltry sum IN
relation to the s25 ,000,000,000 of
deficits incurred in the last seven
years. This is the kind Of blunder
an experienced business man in the
White House, like Wendell Willkle,
would avoid for it is a simple prob
lem in industrial research, manage
ment and anticipation of material
and plant needs which business men
deal with every day, but which
politicians somehow do not UNDER
stand.

funds provided when this expansion
was authorized by Congress and un-
der the amortization provisions OF
pending legislation
It will be noted that the Navy
cites as a cause of delay, too, the
amortization question, which 1t also
has recently been revealed was
placed squarely before the admin
istration in a letter by the Navy De-
partment in April, 1888, but which
was neglected, due to the failure OF
the President to assert his leadership
in Congress or to iron out the squab-
BILE that arose under his very eyes
between the Navy and Treasury De-
partments.
Here, however, is the fateful ad-
mission now of what it all means,
as formally stated by the Navy De-
partment in the concluding para
graphs of its letter sent 20 days ago
TO Senator Byrd:
Due to the time required to pro-
vide and install the heavy machine
tools, presses, etc, required, 1t VIII
take approximately lS months be-
fore these facilities are in produc-
ton. During this period the armor
plate will not be sufficient to meet
the requirements of the building
program on the dates desired, and
