Back Marshall
On Manpower,
Says Baruch
Adviser Tells Senators
To Support General
Or Throw Him Out
Bv J. A. O'LEARY.

Bernard M. Baruch. admins
.tration adviser on manpower,
told Congress this afternoon it
should give Gen. George C,
Marshall, Army chief of staff,
the number of men he deems
necessary to win the war or
"throw him out"
Testifying as the last witness be-
fore the Senate and House Military
Committees on bills to postpone the
calling of prewar fathers, Mr.
Baruch. aide to War Mobilization
Director Byrnes, stood squarely be-
hind the judgment of Gen. Marshall
when he appeared Monday against
reducing future draft calls.
My conception of the job the
chief of staff discharges is that he
is rather more than a military fig
ure," said Mr.. Baruch Il should
Ike to emphasize to you gentlemen
that Gen. Marshall. as chief war ad-
wiser to the President, must include
IN his horizon not merely the Armys
requirements but also the needs of
industry to supply our armies, and
ftuther to furnish the necessities of
the civilian population No good
soldier will fail in that respect. The
lesson of the last war is too near
us to be ignored, The Germans
failed because their home front was
ignored. The collapse of civilian
morale contaminated the Kaiser's
t1eld operations and victory came
TO us even earlier than was expected.
Moral Is Plain"
The moral is plain: If George
Marshall says specified force is
required by our strategical planning
give him what he wants. If Won
don't do that then throw him out.
The man in charge of the Job should
be given our unqualified support.
NO cheese-pairing. No trading
down. Give him what he needs.
IN such a matter it is better to be
safe than sorry"
Continuing, Mr.. Baruch declared:
'All my life l have believed in
granting authority and means when
responsibility lis delegated. There
must be reasons given for the
methods employed but. after all.
the best proof OF method is the re-
sult-and we have no quarrel with
our war achievements in the past %
months.
Remember this: Records stand,
opinions die.
This, generally, was the main
theme of the memorandum I pre-
pared for your friend Mr.. Justice
or should l say Senator-James F..
Byrnes, on the West Coast labor
situation, particularly dealing with
airplane retardation. Our combat
plane production is not what it
should be. Under Justice Byrnes'
direction our West Coast manpower
problem is headed for solution.
Can't Turn Back.
LET me add this thought before
the questioning. The United States
is facing an undertaking from which
there is no turning back or turning
aside.
To carry out our promises, our
undertaking and win victory, we
must provide the armed forces of
the Allied world with munitions,
equipment, shipping and food.
And we must produce food for
civilian needs of the fighting ma
tions and those conquered by the
Axis which We retake. In sum, we
must provide machinery of war and
of peace, so that all can join in the
destruction of the Germans and the
Japs, and the liberation of the
world.
ITO do this in way that brings

OF THE

from the Des Moines, Ia, Register
December %, 1912
The official announcement of fig
ures on Negro dr~aftees and enlist
ments quashes two ugly rumors.
1t ends the rumor that Negroes
were not drafted in proportion TO
their numbers in the population
they were. and a little bit more,
though at first the rate was slow
er. Tor with segregation in the
ranks they sometimes had to wait
on new facilities and the organic
alton Of new units.
1t also ends the rumor that Ne
groes don't think the country
worth defending. They are justi-
biably critical about the way they
r sometimes treated. But this is
THEIR country, too, and 16 percent
Of the volunteers entering the ar
my through selective service" were
Negroes. Moreover, 10.1 percent Of
the soldiers "inducted into the army
through selective service" were Ne
groes, though Negroes make up
only 9.S percent of the population.
