Hugh r. Jackson, Chief of Opera

Defense:

There was day when wars
could be fought by two cham
pions. each carrying on his helmet
the colors of kingdom. There
was a day when wars could be
fought by two professional armies
while the citizens went about
their business as usual. But those
days are gone. Modern wars are
fought by people, and the pecu-
liar nature of this war is that it
is fought by all the people.
Sometimes we in this country
suffer from our own successes.
And | sometimes think that we
have been so successful in talking
of this struggle as total war that
the phrase has come to be too
glib and to roll off our tongues
without realization of its awful
meaning. But | say to you solemn
ly and surely that this war -
which not affects each of us and
our way of life but our very sur
vival - will be won or lost by
the actions of plain everyday CT
tizens as well as by the heroic
deeds of our armed forces

81 know at least one of our
enemies intimately, the Japanese,
and | know beyond peradventure
that the dearest wish and inten-
tion of that enemy is so to extend
their victories and conquests and
power that ultimately they will
be in position to subject us also
to the status Of the people OF the
lands already conquered. That
means just one thing. Our free
dom, the freedom of our priceless
American heritage, disappears.
Yes, that is their dearest wish =
to control not only their Oriental
neighbors but Occidental peoples,
especially those of America. ....
1t is up to each one of US, to every
American, to see the picture of a
whole, to realize that we are
fighting for our individual and
national existence and for every
thing that each one of us holds
dear, to gain from that realiza-
ton inspiration. zeal, courage and
determination to harness all our
energies into a tremendous effort.
an epochal effort that will make
our victory sure. Each individual
must pour out everything which
he has to accomplish his indivi-
dual task at hand and to make
the most of every opportunity
for service. Each and every one
of us must realize that through
his individual and collective ef-
forts new and broader and more
effective avenues of service will
steadily be opened up and thus
each and all of us will gain the
opportunity to contribute in ever
increasing measure to getting the
job done with maximum speed

Contact With Weapons.
The War Department said the
orientation course consists of 146
hours Of Institutional time, divided
into six parts-general, special, sup
ply, transportation, personnel and
tactical principles.
Under tactical principles will be
such subjects as general staf opera
tions, principles of combat, aviation
in support of ground troops and the
armored force in attack and ex-
ploitation. The men, no doubt, will
have ample opportunity to ride in
tanks and fire some of the modern
weapons to give a practical touch
to their training.
No examinations will be given,
each class being in the form of a
conference or lecture From two to
three hours of individual reading
will be prescribed each night except
Saturday.
Aside from the military principles
of the course, the group will study
the relationship between Service
Commands, of which there are nine
located geographically, and civil au-
thorities. The Army's expanding

ervell, commanding the Army's
Services of Supply, extended the in
vitation to the second group.
"The War Department believes a
repetition of the course is now de-
siderable so that selected group of
civilians can become more familiar
with modern military methods and
procedures as associated with cur
rent industrial problems" he said.
The course has proved valuable to
the War Department" Gen. Somer-
veil added, since many of these
men are now occupying key mill
tary positions or are working in
civilian capacity in close liaison with
the War Department in the war
effort"
