Baruch Says Freedom
Must Be Backed With
Strong Military Force
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 25.-Bernard
Barauch, special adviser to the
ONCE of War Mobilization, said last
night that American freedom must
in the future be guarded by a mill
tary organization strong enough to
make 1t plain to one and all that
we are able to back reason with
force"
Mr.. Baruch spoke at the annual
dinner of the National Institute of
Social Sciences, where he received
the institutes gold medal for dis
tinguished service to humanity.
In accepting the medal, presented
to him for the institute by Gen.
George C. Marshall, Army chief of
staff, Mr.. Baruch said the chief
lesson he had learned in his 73
years was that If the American peo-
pie were to continue the pursuit of
happiness with freedom, I'VE must
keep standing and strong four pill
lars which support our American
life. These pillars are:
First: Spiritual-unless we main
tain without swerving our moral
standards, our ideals and our pur-
poses will lose nobility and become
empty.
Second: Educational-we must
equip our minds to better discharge
the responsibilities imposed on us by
our Americanism and our humanity.
Third: Economic-since happi-
ness flows more readily from life
that is not embittered by hardship,
we must constantly seek to improve
our Cwr conditions and help the
rest OF the world to the same end.
Fourth: Military-we must be
strong enough to make it plain to
one and all that we are able to back
reason with force. Never again are
we to be unprepared, resulting in the
needless death of thousands"
Other recipients of the medal were
Mrs. Henry Pomeroy Dawson, chair
man Of the Nassau County IN. Y.)
Chapter OF the American Red Cross,
and James G. X. Mcclure, president
of the Farmers Federation Of
North Carolina. 8
The medal was presented to Mrs.
Dawson for her service to the Red
Cross since the World War and to
many educational philanthropies, to
Mr.. Mcclure for his efforts toward
the material and spiritual better
ment OF North Carolina farmers.
