Gen. McNair Says
Chief Of Ground Forces
Diseloses Thot There
Are Now 200 900 Officers

1t. Gen. Lesley j. McNair. com
manding general of Army Ground
Forces, today promised that Amer
ican manpower would be in action
soon.
"A united America is fighting our
enemy with its munitions now, and
its manpower soon will be in action
too Gen. McNair told the gradu-
ating class of 40 new Engineer
Corps officers at exercises at Fort
Belvoir. Va.
In an address heard over the Ma
tional Broadcasting System, Gen
McNair said he was confident of
our ability to build an Army as
large rs victory requires and so fine
that victory in the end will be
assured"

He disclosed for the first time the
number of officer candidates gradu-
ating throughout the country. A
total of $4,000 men are being
graduated this month. he told the
group
You are graduating into corps
OF Army officers which numbers
200 900 already" he added.
Gen. McNair said that while the
part being played by the Belvoir
Engineers School and others like
1t is appreciated by the War Depart
ment. he said he questioned that
the people as a whole realize "as
yet what history will make clear.
the scope and vital Importance OF
this phase of our war effort"
Gen. McNair asserted that great
as has been the contribution to our
war effort of the ROTC through
the years of peace, mo one can deny
that the officer candidate schools of
today are essentially the foundation
upon which our war Army is being
built"
He predicted that the Corps Of
Engineers in this war will meet
greater and more varied demands
than ever before.
Good Leaders Needed.
Urging new officers to become
good leaders, Gen. McNair said it
was his opinion that the main cause
OF the failure OF high commanders
who have been relieved from duty
was and is "the lack of a vital spark
Of leadership" He urged the men
to become "sparkplugs" as they take
over command.
Following the address. Gen. Nc
Nair presented gold bars to each
Of the 40 officers, one of the largest
classes to graduate from the nearby
post.
