would vote for Bernard Baruch.
l would not know to whom to
give second and third place.
Elmer Davis. of course, tells
the world about the United

ships. But Elmer Davis job
has not been told TO everybodys
satisfaction and lots of Ameri-
cans build ships. The record Of
other shipyard s-the final
record Of accomplishments

John Foster Dulles has
worked out an interesting plan
for lasting peace. But so have
Herbert Hoover and Hugh Glib
son; so has Ely Culbertson; so
has Clarence STREET..
I CAN n OF figure Archibald
L MacLeish at all, and whereas
Basil O'Connor is the salt of the
earth, he, 1 am sure, is too
modest to accept this designa-
ton. should like 10 vote for
Mrs. Reid because I admire her.
AS to Leland Stowe and Ray
mond Gram Swing, it would be
hard to fix on them. What
about Ernie Pyle7
So one comes down 10 Henry
Wallace and Sumner Welles.
And that is politics. If were
TO vote for Henry Wallace-or
against him-I should prefer
not to use this "Churchman"
ballot but the one that every
American citizen is given a
chance to use on election day.
And as for Sumner Welles, my
vote is for Cordell Hull.

shown by The survey made by

until Pearl lIarbor Way back

THAT our military leaders
l. are determined 10 maintain
the fighting strength of the
United States at what they
think is an effective level after
the war is increasingly evident
from recent Official statements.
There is so much unanimity in
these statements that they may
fairly be accepted as Official
policy.
Thus Secretary OF the Navy
Knox has again referred TO
American intentions Of keeping
japanese inundated islands in
the Pacific which we shall have
seized. His undersecretary,
James V. Forrestal. in sIgnifi-
cant address on April 3, de-
clared that our progress to-
ward world order must march
with the maintenance Of mill
tary power by the United
States"
NIliILE there is virtual agree
w ment on the need for vigil
liant military preparedness IN
the postwar period, there is
strangely little discussion OF
the character of the military
establishment that is needed.
There is practically 10 evidence
that this serious problem is re-
ceiving any fundamental exami-
nation.
Official and lay comment
alike takes il for granted, by a
sort OF mental inertia, that the
future military setup will be
more or less similar 10 the one
that we now have.
This is exceedingly curious in
the light of past experience. BY
this time even the most old
fashioned military observers ad-
nit that those who prepared for
the present war failed to take
into consideration sufficiently
the great changes in the
methods OF war-making. Their
thinking. as matter is often
phrased. remained stuck In the
retarded thinking.
