It's not only the patient who is

big problem. a great many physical

High blood pressure and heart dis

letters were concurred in.

ROOM FOR ECONOMY

While we do not think
that the nation should plan
a preparedness program on
the basis of a need for econ
omy, there can be little
argument over figures in re-
gard to the spending for ma
tional defense.
The average American
cannot understand why the
nation needs to spend close
to $4,000, 100000 for ma
tional defense when it spent
less than $1,000,000,000 a
year when Germany and
Japan were threatening the
peace of the world. Obvio-
usly, there is an opportunity
for economy in connection
with the reasonable prepar-
alton for warfare.
We think that the nation
should be thoroughly pre-
pared but we are quite will
ing to admit that we cannot
understand the necessity for
spending eighteen times as
much as we did in the years
Just before war occurred.

THIRTY YEARS OF WAR

On Aug. LIST. thirty-two

pared for the conflict that
we entered but, thanks to
Allied nations. which had
been fighting the foe for
nearly three years, we man.
aged to get the necessary
equipment and American
soldiers, under Gen. John j.
Pershing. made known to
the world that Americans
could fight.
After the close of the
struggle the United States,
together with Great Britain
and France, succumbed to
the dangerous delusion that
war would be no more. We
put into effect a disarma-
ment program that heavily
penalized the victorious ma
tons but had no restrictive
effect upon former enemy
nations or upon Japan.
While the people of the
democracies lulled them
selves to sleep in a delirious
dream of pacifism, believing
that they were safely en-
sonced behind a non-bellig-
erent nationalism, the enem-
les of mankind, under the
leadership of dictators, plot
ted to conquer the earth, en-
Slave free peoples and mas
ter all mankind.
Once more, when the
great storm broke, in 1939g
we were inadequately pre-
pared for warfare. In fact,
up to the very eve of the
attack upon Pearl Harbor,
and the resulting declara-
tons of war against us that
issued from Berlin and
Rome, we were ill-prepared
to defend our own soil from
modern attacks.
Let us not make the same
mistake a second time, now
that something like peace
exists. Let this nation reso-
lutely resolve to turn a deaf
ear to selfish nationalism
and to improvident pacif-
ism. Let us keep armed
forces strong enough for any
possible task because in pre-
paredness there is security,
if there is no guarantee of
peace.
