fare is required, We close the Army
War College and the command and
general star school because the
officers Of the stan and student
bodies are needed with troops; yet
We can ind officers for such pur-
poses as giving 80 days training to
well-meaning and patriotic gentle
men who desire to swell the quota
Of our already ample number Of
reserve officers, for many Of whom
there will be no opportunity Of
training this year.
Meanwhile in certain quarters the
talk Of appeasement persists. Whis-
pers grow that Hitler will be the
master Of Europe. Yes, certainly.
But that need not concern us. Hitler
will be easy to get along with when
he has gained his object. Maybe he
isn't suchs bad fellow after all.
And therell be lots of trade. Well
meaning people suggest that our
real duty Is to feed Europe during
this coming winter OF certain famine
thus relieving Hitler Of the eco
nomic consequences Of his career
OF conquest and throwing away the
one tried weapon on defense re-
naming to the free peoples of the
world: Sea-power.
Shall we never learn? Yes. We
shall. Either now, while we can
put the lessons to good use, or lated,
when we shall be able only to wish
that We had opened our eyes in time.
We shall learn-and we may pray to
our God that We may not learn too

tional Guard combined) Of approxi-
mately 100000; then we are told
that 10000 are required; then
200 900, and now 1900 ,000 All this
within q few months and without
any great change in the conditions
under which that Army will have
to fight, If fight 1t mist. Could
there be clearer evidence of the lack
Of that co-ordinated, careful, thor
ough planning which Is one of the
secrets of the German success?
Surely it is not too much to ask,
as successive votes of money are
added to the swelling defense budg-
ct, that there shall be a thorough
overhauling Of plans. a formulation
OF balanced, well-weighed policy
which shall decide just what instru-
ments Of military power we ought
to create to meet the emergencies
which may confront US, just how
the funds and resources available
shall be divided amongst the vari-
Gus requirements to be met and be-
tween the needs of immediate short
run defense for imminent emer-
gencies and the laying Of the
foundations of long-range defense
program for the future safety Of
the country.
The President cannot do this un-
aided; Congress cannot do it; it
can be achieved only by the ap-
pointment Of a group Of properly
qualified Individuals soldier, a
sailor, an airman, State Depart
ment expert and an expert on in
dustrial mobilization-with the nee
essary staff and all the informa-
ton at the disposal of every Gov
ernment department, to do MOTH
ing else but make the necessary
plans and formulate the necessary
policies. Men already burdened
during every waking hour with i'm
mediate and pressing duties and
details cannot be expected to meet
this need. Competent people must
be designated for this task alone.
Yet though this has been proposed
from many quarters, urged upon
the attention Of our leaders. 1t has
not been done-at a time when
every hour wasted is q hour which
cannot be recovered at any price.
Talk Of Consulting"
We observe the increasing axis
pressure on Spain, the threats
against Portugal; we see Gibraltar
daily bombarded by airplanes which
are hardly proceeding from Italian
bases: we note the establishment Of
a Nazi-dominated government in
France-and we have at our very
doorstep on the fringe Of our most
vital strategic sea area, the Carib-
bean, q state of affairs which in
cludes the presence at a fortified
French island (Martinique) Of q
French aircraft carrier, a cruiser
and a division of submarines, with
Tin the holds of the carrier and
cruiser several hundred American
made airplanes. We do nothing to
Offset the dangers inherent in this
situation, except to talk Of CON
sulting" with the other American
nations about a possible "protec-
torate."
At the moment above all others
