enough that war should devastate hall
the world; it is worse that it should be
accompanied by the inroads OF disease
which is demonstrably preventaole and
durable. With fewer doctors and nurses
to cope with everyday sickness 1t Is more
than ever important to help the well to
keep well.
BEFORE 1912 tuberculosis was the first cause
NJ death Today it is seventh. The successive
christmas seal crusades have had an impor-
tant part in effecting this decline. Considering
how successful the national war on the dis

people of this area will withhold their help
now.

Universal Training

By and large Americans have reason enough
10 be proud Of their fighting record IN all
their wars. Not only have military leaders
suddenly DEVELOPED for emergencies. The rank
and file of armed forces have measured up
to every demand upon them.
But it is not to be gainsaid that between
wars. being a peace-loving people, the United
States has sadly neglected the training OF men
to fill the ranks against foreseen or unsuspect-
ed crises.
The years preceding the present world con-
flict are a notable example OF this predispo-
sitior- to neglect preparedness fol war We sat
quietly by while the wave Of dictatorship in
undated certain European countries, despite
the lessons of history which prove that the
only way dictators can maintain themselves
is through warfare. AS Mussolni in Italy and
Hitler in Germany were making their prepara-
lions to fight, the government OF this country
took no measures to build up the Army, the
be drawn into war, even in the face of Hitler's
known plans to conquer this country after dis
posing OF England and before we could mo-
billie miltarily or industrially to fight him.
To be sure, Army and Navy leaders kept
pace with developments in Europe and to an
extent in the Orient but nothing was done to
train armies or other branches Of war service.
The whole plan seemed to be to trust to luck
and wait for some other power to defeat Hit
Ter.

stand why opposition should exist now to pro-
posals to train American youth, after peace
comes, so that we may be ready when and
if another war emergency arises. 1t would
seem that with the price Of unpreparedness
written SO plainly the seas. at Pearl Har-
Dor and on many backgrounds, everybody
would recognize the advantage OF maintaining
strong, powerful, armed forces, with the youth
Of the nation receiving military training either
at school or Immediately after graduation.
This is the position Of the Army. Assistant
Secretary Of War John ]. McCloy. appearing
on a national hook-up for the University of
Chicago Round Table forum, declared the Sc
curity Of the nation would demand military
training and would call for industry and labor
to be ever alert for an emergency.
I predict" said Mr.. McCloy, 1.-The next
time aggressors 60 to war they will act to
eliminate the major power first. They will
have the weapons to strike directly at the
United States. Our hope for national security
is pool OF trained manpower which 1 believe
will be able to take care Of any attack. This
is the keystone Of our system, but we must
also keep on the alert to develop our industry
and resources"
1t is reasonable to believe this present war
would not have been started except that Hitler
found the nations he coveted chiefly England
and the United States, unprepared to resist
his onslaught. That the Gerinans are finally
facing defeat is due to the stamina and re-
sourcefulness Of these two peoples, not to their
previous preparation.
