Evening star., 1946-04-13
By George FieIdinS EHo;

There is one very important distinc-
tion which the citizen must keep in
mind in thinking about his armed forces:
The distinction between the police job
and the strategic job. The police job is
concerned with keeping the peace of the
world SO that the strategic job may
never have to be done at ALL but the
recognized and interchangeable ability
to perform the strategic job is essential
to the performance of the police job.
1t is like the irresistible, power of the
State and Nation which stand behind
the single policeman who walks up and
arrests a criminal. In the vast ma
jority of cases Tin this country the
policeman Is not resisted. Why? Be-
cause through generations OF organized
government the citizens of the United
States have learned to accept the fact
that behind the single policeman there
are more policemen, riot squads with
machine guns and tear gas II necessary;
behind these are the State police and
the National Guard; behind these the
full power of the Federal Government.
with the Regular Army. Very rarely
indeed are these latter agencies called
on to aid the civil power in enforcing
the law. But If they did not exist the
law could not be enforced at all.
So now as we face the task of being
the major pillar of law enforcement in
the world, we shall need police forces
which we shall place at the disposal of
the Security Council of the United Ma
tions, and we shall need police forces
to do jobs which do not fall within the
scope of U. NJ. such as the continued
occupation Of Germany and Japan and
the enforcement of peace treaties or
armistice provisions.
y y X
These jobs will cali for limited forces,
usually, and will depend more on hay-
ing small force Immediately available
than on large potential force which
can act only after considerable delay.
They will depend on forces of great
mobility and amphibious units
which can be moved quickly to any
needed point.
But behind the policeman must al
ways be the irresistible power which
can be called to his aid in case of need.
Otherwise he will not be able to func-
ton; he will be challenged. resisted or
ignored We must recognize that the
United Nations Is not world govern
ment. The power which lies behind
Evening star., 1946-04-13

its police force is the power of its mem
Der states.
The measure OF the authority of the
United States in all world affairs will
be. the measure of its military power:
Not only its ability to carry on police
duties, but its ability to maintain its
own security against any challenge.
The responsibility of the armed forces
of the United States in this field is of
a different character than their task
in the work of actual police. 1t is here,
and not in the police job, that we
must think in terms of new weapons
such as atomic bombs, guided missiles
and long-range rockets.
X -
From these considerations are begin
ming to emerge certain conclusions as
to the function and missions of the
various branches of our armed forces
These conclusions are by no means hard
and fast as yet. There are disagree
nnents and disputes. Each of the Three
major services: Navy, Army {ground
forces) and Air, is cropping forward,
seeking to peer behind the veil Of the
future, desperately anxious to have
enough of everything it needs to meet
future contingencies whose shape it
cannot exactly foresee. Tentatively,
the lines Of division fall about as fol-
lows-the Navy and the Marine Corps
will Go much of the actual policing,
with Army ground forces to back them
up when needed and air force support
and transportation when needed. The
air force supplies the major strategic
striking power, whether with piloted
airplapes OF airborne missiles; but it
will need the support OF the Navy to
supply its outlying bases and to move
its units to new base areas II necessary.
The Army ground forces will make
secure the bases Of the Navy and air
force against land attack, provide major
occupation forces for Germany and
Japan and reserve of ground striking
power in the United States to take and
hold new bases or support existing ones
as may be required. Obviously there is
much overlapping, much intermingling
Of colors in this picture: The wonder
is not that there are. differences of
opinion as to organization and function,
the wonder is that the actual areas of
disagreement between the services are
SO small.
These areas of disagreement will be
discussed in the next article Of this
series.

Goeging the Navy

freSlQenI 1TumauS dLCempG TO
silence Navy opposition to the pro-
posed merger of the armed services,
I an attempt accompanied by an
implied threat of punitive action,
is extremely ill-advised.
1t will tend to aggravate the
emotional character of a controversy
which, because of its supreme i'm
portance to the Nation, should be
explored calmly and with a view to
the fullest ascertainment of all rele-
want facts and competent view
points. In denouncing what he is
pleased to call lobbying by Navy
admirals and others against the
merger, while overlooking the no less
vigorous lobbying" by Army gen.
erals and others in favor of the
merger, the President, in effect, is
trying to gag one party to vital
dispute. If he should succeed in
this, and if the merger should be
consummated on that basis, the
disaffection which would prevail
within the Navy after the merger
would be far more injurious to the
prospects of successful unification
than would the fullest amount of
free debate, or even lobbying" at
this stage of the matter.
1t is also very difficult to deter
i1,cf ruhof thu pracidnpf &c
driving at. Apparently he would
make distinction between the Navy
Department and individuals. The
latter, he says, are entitled to express
their opinions, but he will not tolerate
lobbying by the Navy Department.
But if there is to be any lobbying
or expression of opinion it must be
done by individuals, for the Navy
Department, as distinguished from
individuals, is nothing but a name.
So the matter, despite the Pres
ident's attempt at qualification,
comes down to an effort to gag
individuals, or else it means nothing.
Finally, it would appear that the
Presidents case rests on dubious
premise. Mr.. Truman, having made
up his own mind in favor of the
merger, takes the position that all
members of the executive establish
ment should fall into line and sup
port his policy. There is great
deal to be said for that view in
matters involving pure executive
policy, matters in which the Pres
ident's decision is final. But this is
a different matter.
The President, with respect to the
merger, has no final power Of deci-
sion. The decision, whatever it is,
will have to be made by Congress,
and the President should refrain
from any arbitrary edict tending to
deny Congress the fullest access to
a source of information or source
of opinion, whether it be in the
Navy or elsewhere.
To do otherwise Is unlike Mr. Tru-
man, and the inference is that his
ill-considered statement in this in
stance was the product of passing
Irritation. The statement, to the
extent that it was intended to gag
either the admirals or the Navy
Department, should be clarified in
the interests Of arriving at the best
settlement of dispute which vitality
concerns the future security of this
country

Letters to The Star
Wants Clock Outside Station
To Reassure I


To the Editor Of The Star:
Having Travelled all over the world I
believe the Union Station in Washing
ton Is one Of the most beautiful monu.
mental edifices ever built for the travel
ing public. AS far as location is con-
cerned there is nothing to equal its
beauty.
But one thing, the most important
one, is missing, namely a large clock
on the outside OF the building, for that,
matter, near 1t, over it or beside the
building.
Formerly by the thousand. now some
what less people, civilians, soldiers and
sailors, are rushing toward the station
by foot, taxi or car, with only one idea,
will they be in time to make their
train?"
Nothing is there to assure them not
to be nervous and that they are in
time, not even one ever so small time
piece in the entire neighborhood of the
Union Station and once inside the
station one sees at the right side,
above the Gateway Restaurant, the only
clock which tells you the right time,
beside the one outside the gates to
the railroad tracks.
Any national advertised product
would be glad to put up large clock
near the Union Station, but is pre-
vented, and rightly SO, by the regula-
tions governing the artistic nature of
the Capitol Hill surroundings.
So it will be up to the authorities to
do something to make good what the
architects have overlooked and forgot
ten, making the Union Station about
the only railroad station in the entire
world without a correct railroad clock
which can be seen from afar.

the discovery that SCOT with a high

luckier than they supposed.
