Guardsmen Deserve
Nations S Gratitude,
Annual Report Says
Induction Of 2o,29s
Officers and III, ,526
Enlisted Men Noted

The National Guard deserves
the gratitude and appreciation of
the people" In furnishing the armed
forces OF the United States with
20,298 ofncers. 22l warrant officers
and 27s,526 enlisted men for war
time service, Secretary Of War Stim-
son was informed yesterday through
the annual report Of the chief of
the National Guard Bureau.
Covering the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1941. the report dealt
largely with the first Federal in
duction Of Guardsmen since 1917.
That induction eliminated q 20
year period Of progressive growth,
marked by reorganization, motor
ization and improved training
Before induction into Federal
service began, the report said, the
National Guard lost more than
q, 900 officers and men through dis
charges for support Of dependents,
work in essential defense industries,
to continue college courses and
other exemptable reasons. Despite
this loss, the report said, ofncers
and men displayed such loyalty
and energy in the recruiting cam
paign that followed" that the
strength Of the National Guard
differed very little on induction
from that before the losses incurred.
The 2o-year period before induc-
tion was marked by the graduation

Of 5,064 Guard officers from Army
service schools, while In August Of
1910, when large-scale Army field
maneuvers were held, 200, 40
Guardsmen participated.
With the induction, the War De-
partment's National Guard Bureau
was charged with administering the
establishment Of State Guard or
ganizations, and IN less than six
months had enrolled 1886 omcers
and men. The State Guard had
taken over the functions Of the Ma
tional Guard units In Federal serv-
ice with q view to local defense.

Mr.. lundis' Task

The appointment CT James NJ
Lands, dean of the Harvard Law
School, as executive" of the Office
of Civilian Defense no doubt was in
tended to meet the growing criticism
of an obviously vulnerable part of the
civilian defense setup-the existing
part-time national leadership.
1t would have been far better, of
course, if the President, instead Of
creating another civilian defense
post for Mr.. Lands to occupy, had
taken steps to insure full-time direc-
ton of the agency within the SIM
pier administrative framework now
in force Fortunately, Dean Lands
is an exceptionally able man, with
a knack of overcoming difficulties.
He promises that his new post will
receive his undivided attention.
Mayor La Guardia will continue to
direct broad policies, in conSulta-
ton with Mr.. Lands. AS regional
director of civilian defense for New
England, Dean Lands obtained
valuable working knowledge of the
whole program. AS one-time chair
man of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and former member Of
the Federal Trade Commission he
demonstrated unusual capacities for
public service. Given the free hand
which he deserves in his difficult
new assignment, he should be able
to eliminate much of the confusion
which has plagued the o. c. D. from
it's inception. And he will find that
the general public. if provided with
proper leadership, is ready and will
ing to cooperate wholeheartedly in
making civilian defense completely
effective.

The Fighters Within

When the history Of the pres
ent tragic period is compiled the
scholars who will do the work will
not forget to mention that the first
conquests Of the dictators were
those achieved in the countries in
which they themselves originated.
Mussolini, for example, triumphed
not over foreign foe in his famous
march on Rome in 1922. 1t was his
fellow-ItalianS who we're defeated
by the army of II Duce So, too,
did Hitler conquer the citizens, the
institutions, the formulas of democ-
racy in the Reich in 1888.
But such conquests never are
altogether complete. Among the
most energetic of the foes Of the
Axis powers must be listed the un-
known friends of universal freedom
who continue the struggle secretly
on "the home 'front.'" OF course, it
is impossible to say how many per-
sons are engaged in the task of
preparing for eventual release from
oppression. It Is a fair guess, how
ever, that the number Is not few.
Especially in Germany just new
it is logical to suppose that the
spirit of rebellion must be growing.
The winter has been cold, food is
scarce, clothing insufficient, news
from the troops in the field dis
couraging. AS the retreat from
Moscow, Leningrad and Rostov grad
ually develops into a rout, the an
cient fear of Russia is certain to
be revived. 1t is natural, also, that
resistance to Nazi administration of
the occupied regions-the Balkans,
Norway, France and the Netherlands
most notably-will wax increasingly
bitter as the pressure upon Hitler
and his allies becomes ever more
and more compelling. President
Roosevelt in his message to Congress
on the state Of the Union with
abundant reason declared: "As we
get guns to the patriots IN those
lands they, too, will fire shots heard
round the world"
Perhaps what occurred in the au-
tumn of 1918 may happen again.
The first World War ended when the
morale OF the German people had
been impaired-from within as we'll
as without. Something of a like
sort must be attempted again. The
unseen heart in each of the Axis
countries is beating not for tyranny
but for liberty. Among the cru
saders for righteousness and peace,
then, it is proper to include the
fighters within" whose efforts have
been none the less helpful because
hidden and concealed.
