Awakened at Last

II needed the war in Europe and
the fall of France TO awaken us
from our pipe dream of security.
This was the direct cause of our
decision TO take the necessary
steps to give total security TO the
United States and the Western
Hemisphere. This was heartening
proof that, at last. we had ac-
quired national understanding oil
our threatened condition.
Never before had the American
people appeared to be so fully
impressed with the value of mill
tary and naval preparedness.
Never before had It been needed
in such great degree.
The real problem Of defense is
to prepare in advance, so that If
and when war comes We shall be

three years, if done properly. From

The Azores and Cape Verde

essential for use as naval or air
bases.
As time Is of the essence. every
effort should be made by our gov
eminent to expedite arrangements
for the use and construction of
such necessary bases. The war in
both the Atlantic and the Mediter-
ranean should have taught us the
value of sea power. which is
largely dependent on efficient well
fortified and strategically located
naval and air bases.
However, a lesson learned is of
no value unless the knowledge so
acquired is put to proper use. That
we cannot afford TO fool ourselves
is evident.
This statement applies equally
TO land forces. 1t is apparent,
from the various campaigns in
Europe, and particularly the most
recent in Greece, that in order
to be victorious an army must
have superiority in all arms to
meet such avalanches as those,
for instance, which descended
upon the Anglo-Greek forces.

However, our army and navy
