Men Up to 40 Face Call;
Young Yanks 90 Abroad
BY DAMON RUNYON

A LII able-bodied men up to 40
~ years of age will probably
be grabbed for the service within
the next go days, except. of
course, those who can show
valid reasons for exemption or
deferment.
In fact, I Judge from the num-
Der of men beyond 40, including
veterans of World War /, who
are being taken in, that the mat
ter of age is becoming a secon-
Diary consideration with the mil
itary authorities for the time
being as long as the subject has
no matrimonial entanglements.
Personally, I do not think the
average man past IS is worth
nickel as a combat soldier and
il is unlikely that the authorities
contemplate employing any con-
siderable number of that type
for this purpose, but since the
next step is inevitably the draft
ing of the lads in the lower age
brackets down to 18. IL is well
to first remove what might be
cause for much complaint.
sTHE parents of kid Of Is or
L 10 would have reasonable
grounds for beef il he was taken
into the service while the land
scape remained dotted with foot
loose older fellows not in uni
form and apparently physically
qualified to serve.
1t is my guess that most OF
the old guys will be kept in this
country in the army for home
defense while the youngsters will
be sent to augment our assault
troops abroad.
You see, there is a consider
able difference between the
service required of combat out
fits and the duties of troops at
home or in places where the
soldering is more or less garri-
son duty.
1t is possible, of course, that
In the latter instances the men
may suddenly be called upon
for the heaviest kind of combat
duty, but with the assault troops
such action is not possibility
it is certainty.
A MAN of 40 has reached mid
"A die age and in most cases
has developed settled habits, a
paunch and not infrequently
few physical ailments that may
not initiate against the carrying
on of his normal functions in
civil life, but that will be of no
benefit to him as a soldier.
A few men OF middle age may
be hardy enough TO stand the
grind OF combat service but they

Letters 10 The Editor

TO THE EDITOR:
1T SEEMS to me you 60 out of
4 your way in your editorial,
"A Strike Back Home"
You describe an American SOL
der saying TO his buddy on the
battlefield, Il hear there's a
strike back home" and you in
fer that the efforts of those boys
TO save the world are being
jeopardized by wildcat strikes in
war industries on the home
front.
Maybe your castigation is
merited. but who set those men
an example I?
Why don't you reproduce the
chart recently published by PM
showing the Cerman-American
cartel agreements wherein such
noble American paytrioteers as
Standard Oil, Westinghouse,
General Electric, Du Pont. Ford
Motor Company and many 9TH
ers agreed to limit production Of
basic commodities in America
while I. G. Farben continued full
production IN Germany?
I've got Cwo sons in the army.
Both quit good jobs a year be-
fore Pearl Harbor and volun-
teered for service.
One Is now a captain In Ha-
waii and the other a major OF
field artillery.
The one who lived through
Pearl Harbor wrote me saying:
dad. get into this thing and
help ct supplies TO us"

are merely the exceptions that
prove the rule.
You must have the kids to do
the fighting in the field. All our
wars have been won by the
youngsters. 1 deplore the fact
that war exacts a toll of our
youth as much as anybody else.
1 think it a dreadful thing
that a boy who ought to be in
school or young man just get
ting a start in life has 20 suspend
his future to go to war. yet there
is no other way that victory can
be achieved in war.
WE NOW have armies in nu-
w merous different lands that
must be kept supplied with re-
placements. In many Of these
lands the climate alone is too
tough for men whose bone and
sinew lacks the resiliency of
youth. They would be hospital
lied oftener than they would be
in the field.
The men Of middle age that
the authorities are now calling
to the colors are all right for
duty that does not call for heavy
campaigning and can relieve
younger men on home service
and in office jobs. but when 1t
comes to the huffle-scuffie of as
sault jobs, we need lads who
have never known backache
and are not aware of their
stomachs or livers.
At 40 a mans soldier spirit
can be perfect. II is the flesh
we have to worry about-and so
does he.

Nehru. Hindu Leader
Educated, Not intelligent
By BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

of being tagged an Anglo-Saxon

Lancelot Hogben, for instance.

NEHRU, the Hindu leader"
A is an educated man but not
an intelligent one. The differ
ence between education and in
telligence is the difference be-
tween book learning or couple
of college courses and native
brightness. A man may be
learned" but may be a perfect
example of the dumb duck-un-
intelligent.
In a recent article in the New
York Times Nehru says that
India has little to learn but
much to teach about the philoso-
ply of life and the art of iv-
ing"
If she has little to learn, then
why does she send all her lead
ers" to Oxford and Cambridge?
Why. then, do the Hindus ape
the Westerners even in dress?
Why is it that In d a never
moved-"progressed," we Vest
ern stupids call it - until she
learned that one bathtub is
worth 5000 brass idols?
THE most amusing statement
Il that Nehru makes is that
India has much to teach about
the philosophy of life and the
art of living. In philosophy,
metaphysics and cosmic vision
no one has ever plunged to
greater depths than the Hindu
seers and thinkers. They are the
greatest pessimistic nihilists the
world has ever produced.
But the application of this
philosophy of life" is at the
bottom of the frightful decay of
India. And as for the art of
living" the answer is that India
has been for thousand of years
one vast slum. No people in the
world has been so long and so
outrageously exploited by the
ruling caste of India like the
Hindus. So frightful is this "art
of living" that they have a class
called the "untouchables."
Nehru and Gandhi are India's
greatest enemies today - they
and the robber baron India
princes. God help the people of
India!
DERMIT me, folks, a slight
