Soldiers Well Fed

Among many items that come to
my desk | select one at random in
order to illustrate the far-sighted-
ness and broad-sightedness Of the
preparations. During the last war
the question of army food was Of
ten under discussion. And in spite
of some natural pleasantries in
which that strange and beloved
animal, the American soldier,
naturally INDUCES, will say that
do not believe there was any deep
voiced criticism of the cuisine.
Army cooks were not fancy, but
they were good plain cooks and
the boys were well fed.
The question Of appointing a
nutrition officer frequently came
up. Today the science of nutrition
has progressed so much and the
world supply Of food is in such an
unpredictable state that division
Of nutrition will probably be
formed under army jurisdiction.
The Surgeon Generals division is
equally interested with the Quar-
termaster Generals division in
the soldiers food and it is to be
hoped that the soldier Of l941 will
have more scientific supervision Of
his diet even than he had been &C.
customed to at home.
In the examination Of candi-
dates l hope that routine X-ray
chest plates will be instituted. The
astonishing experience at the
Medicine and Public Health Build
ing at the New York Worlds Fair,
where visitors were lined up and
given a chest X-ray for s1.0O,
showed that of 1924 supposed
healthy people, $3.50 had active
tuberculosis. The National Tu-
berculosis Association has been
saying u CO of the population has
active tuberculosis. Perhaps with
the record Of one million selective
draft men we will come close to an
accurate picture of our tubercu-
losis situation.

The fleet announcement shared
attention with national defense ap-
praisals which came late yesterday
from Bernard Baruch and James w
Gerard, two men high in America s
World War councils.
Mr.. Baruch, New York financieI
who headed the War Industries
Board in 1918, wrote a Senate
committee studying an Army appro-
priations bill that the United States
was "inadequately prepared even for
defense"
Calling the Western Hemisphere
the richest prize in the world, he
declared:
Germany, Italy, Russia and
Japan, with their gaunt and we'll
trained armies, would not hesitate
for one minute, II they should win
to find some reason for coming
here"
Mr.. Gerard, Ambassador to Ger
many prior to United States entry
in the World War, likewise was
apprensive for the hemisphere. A
victorious Germany, he said, would
not venture to attack this country
but probably would direct its ef-
forts toward Southern Brazil. which
has a large German population.

President Roosevelt yesterday.
