not better armies Ito Wit
France
A lieutenant overseas has
written me what seems to be
the initial fault with our think
ing on this subject. He says
a sufficient army, or a large
West Point and Annapolis, will
create military cliques which
will rule us into wars as in
Germany and Japan.
This is the historical error or
our nation. Never have we been
prepared for a war, or ade-
=aaateiy @et;r@ewH= defense,
because of this popular fear.
This time we nearly sacrificed
our nation to the fear. They
nearly got us before we could
get ready.
The practical way to keep
away from military cliques is
by practicing democracy, not
sacrificing your defense to the
fear of an avoidable possibility.
Prevent the military minority
from becoming ruling civil au-
thorities as has been done with
our admirals' cliques.

BEHIND the News

WASHINGTON, Sept 19-In
w this spot yesterday / began
the presentation of facts to
demonstrate that compulsory
military training is undemo-
cratic and the proposed legisla-
ton to take 17-year-old youths
into the army for year would
not provide an efficient, suffi-
cient army because most fight
ing lines today are highly skilled
techniques which Require con-
slant practice by more mature
persons.
This youth nucleus dicfarged
at 18 could not keep up with the
scientific developments OF war,
but must become another ma
tional guard, taking inadequate
refresher courses by mail. The
training, therefore. could be not
much more than a physical cul-
ture year taken out OF the life
of every citizen.
IF PHYSICAL culture and
l. minor preparatory training
is what the army wants, why
does il not put the facilities for
these into our existing educa-
tional structure? Why take a
year out of a boys life. Delay
ing his college education or his
start in work. delaying the con-
tribution of every one TO the
productivity of the country,
when il will not give us what
we must have-a capable army?
Why waste money training

A LABOR party as substi-
"A tute for the Democratic
party appeared sound and wise
at the beginning Of this cam
paign.
The solid South has been sure.
but the Southern senators and
representatives have been grow
ing increasingly obstreperous.
In fact, the most effective
opposition TO the New Deal has,
for several years, been originat-
ing among these southern Demo-
Gratis, who. while they vote with
their party in elections, fight the
New Deal in the halls of Con-
gress.
II the President could gain
his fourth term in spite Of SOUTH
ern Democratic opposition, he
would indeed be the master OF
this country.
THE Go, which is a govern
Il ment-inspired, government
organized and govern m e n t.
directed labor amalgam. was
wisely selected as the medium
for this n1aneuver.
The CLIO is more competently
organized than the AFL.
Whereas the AFL must con-
tinue to recognize the autonomy
of its international unions. the
Go is more centralized.
Since its inception, the Com
munists have been a powerful
nucleus in it, dominating some
unions altogether.
The communists. who are
trained, rigidly disciplined or
ganizers, disguise their activities
and even their personalities and
names with rare skill.
They form cells in all unions;
these cells function actively on
specific orders from the Com
munist party which has not gone
out of existence. but is function
ing as a political mechanism
within the Go.
Sidney Hillman was the right
man 10 select TO arrange and
organize this apparatus, for he
is natural born middleman,
capable Of forming an alliance
between such divergent per-
sonalities as Phil Murray and
Earl Browder.
This opportunistic plan looked
altogether sound.
Southern Democratic conserv-
atives, big city liberals, anti
Communist Socialists. Commu-
nists and non-political labor
union members were willing to
join together in support OF the
President for the fourth term
on a win-the-war program al
though the war was in fact won
before they started.
The technique was to avoid
domestic issues. 10 make no
promises as TO the future, 10
over-emphasize foreign affairs.

ferences and TO depend on the
course Of events 10 see the
