IN THE First World War, this
i country developed amidst hostili-
ties strong navy, large merchant
marine, highly effective army with
a corps of experienced officers, and
an able and progressive aircraft in
dustry with the substantial nucleus
of an invincible air force.
These, with the proved adapta-
bility of our factories and farms to
the Unsuitable demands of war pro.
duction, were the sinews of an un-
conquerable America
But we maintained virtually none
Of these unrivaled accoutrements of
defense after the false peace of
Versailles.
Because of mistaken reliance
upon the goodwill of other nations,
and the persistent propaganda of
pacifsts, we fatuously disarmed
ourselves.
We scrapped our new and unsur-
passed battleships and let other
naval powers - including Japan -
outbuild us.
We parted with most of our mer-
chant marine.
WE DIsBANDED our land forces
w and abandoned our munitions
production so entirely, that when a
world war loomed again, our scanty
troops and reservists called up for
training" had to use broomsticks
for rifles, farm trucks for tanks, and
fence posts for artillery.
We also forsook the air which our
inventors had been the first to ex.
plore and our technicians the first to
exploit.
With the materials, the intelli-
gent manpower and the wealth to be
the worlds most unassailable nation,
we were actually ranked by military
statisticians as among the weakest
countries at the end of only two dec.
AIDES after the First World War.
AS direct consequence we have
had to fight two ocean war against
Germany, Italy and Japan-a war
requiring the launching of new and
greater navy, the construction of a
new and larger merchant marine, the
levying of new and mightier army
and the development of a new and
more formidable air force.
These requirements have been
met, but at the cost of converting our
whole economy to war production, of
regimenting our whole population, of
incurring national debt of hundreds
of billions of dollars, and of sacrific-
ing the lives or limbs of more than a
million of our best young citizens on
foreign fields of battle.

WASHINGTON Aug. IA
+ w Characters in the Petaln
treason trial looked as If they
had been borrowed from Dau-
mier. the artist who raised carr
tooning Of French justice into
imperiShablc masterpieces.
Daumicr presented weazened
attorneys, judges resembling
pawnshop proprietors, and juries
selected from the cutters late
at night.
THE inside story here on
l. Vichy and the characters
of the Palais De Justice. never
ran far contrary to the evidence
limited in Admiral Leahy'S letter.
Petain, in his upper eighties,
was not believed in Washington
TO have a mind of his own. He
was never able 10 control, but
was always controlled. A man
whose intentions were accepted
as senilely honorable by such an
astute, intimate observer as
Leahy (who was sent 10 Vichy
by Mr.. Roosevelt solely for that
observing purpose,)
Petain suffered more ill-health
midday in his regime. and when
the NaziS moved Laval in on
him, no one paid attention 10
him thereafter, either here or in
France.
Laval, on the other hand, has
a mind perfected in duplicity
from long zeal and practice, and
an original talent for political
villiany, to the point where no
one customarily trusted him.
even before France fell and he
went to Vichy.
Swarthy. shifty-eyed, he pre-
Sented no other claim 10 fame.
Since he dealt with President
Hoover as Premier of France,
his inner record has been chal-
lenged successfully only by GER
tain Japanese statesmen.
A S for the other characters at

way or another from the cess

They came out Of the prewar

grading civilization and govern

other and back again like a
corrupt legacy, developed such
violent troubles for the world
as the sitdown strike, the COM
mercial political leadership Of
labor and non-payment of war
debts, while collecting eXorbi-
tant reparations.
A legitimate case Of treason
against the world might be
made out against them. A
strong and honest democratic
government in France would
have kept Hitler down, would
never have given Japan the OPP
portunity of European involve
ment TO attack us, and there
would have been no war. Their
indirect responsibility will be
measured heavily by the cool re-
f1ections of history.
