The Administration war prepare
lions are predicated on long wal
and we are not supposed to be fully
prepared to fight until 1874 and
should the war end before then, II
would take us by surprise and leave
us somewhat in quandary. 1t would
probably leave us with seven mil.
lion not fully trained army with no
fully developed plan for it's demobil-
izatiOn, a large number of finished
and unfinished war plants with no
plans for their conversion to civilian
use; large plant construction under
plus-cOst contracts would have to be
revised and general chaotic situa-
ton could develop creating the big
gest panic yet seen.
On the other hand, could this war
be run according to schedule, let US
say four or five years, we could then
have our army fully trained and
equipped, plans worked out for an
orderly and gradual rehabilitation
and a speedy conversion of war plants
to industrial use with minimum dis
location of business; misunderstanding
could be fully protected and some
solution found for labor troubles,
strikes and lockouts.
After two years of war these post
var problems have not even been
ouched yet and our foreign policy
las not been fully developed-at least
lot made public. In a way, outside
# downing Hitler, we hardly know
What we are fighting for; some say
or pre-war monarchies; some say for
)emocracies and others say for sane
nd decent governments whatever
hat means; but the fly in the oint-
lent is: Who is to be the Judge?
re we going to govern through AMG
nd for how long? To govern them
ntil they are fit to govern them
elves is indefinite and a hazy pro-
ram.
If the western front simply involved
Military matters it would be for the
enerals to work out the battle tactics,
zee from political limitations; but as
lis seems not to be the case, the
inning of the peace may be harder
ian the winning of the war.
Two points of view stick out like
IRE fingers. One is to let each ma
on have a plebiscite and decide on
hat kind of government it wants and
ork out it's own salvation
The other is to lead them in desired
lannels or make them preserve a
atus quo, give them sizeable loan
tyable, interest and principal, in
I'D coin, thus saving the gold stand
d and keeping King Gold as Master
Ceremonies.
Who owns the gold and controls

1t is interesting to talk with people,
