Restoring The Balance

good chance of doing, this will be
the first time since 1881 that such an

Why 1t Is Needed

why ~ 40 ANOCAOA
Universal Militory Training would
do three vital things of great value
to our National security.
It would furnish to the National
Guard and Active Reserve Units
trained men to fill their ranks as
needed.
These men, having had thorough
basic training, would make it pos
sible for the National Guard and
Active Reserve organizations to
move quickly into more advanced
training, thus advancing their
readiness for emergency, and short
ening the time in which they could
be prepared for major missions.
Finally, UNIT trainees would in
time form a great reservoir of
trained manpower. These men
would be available in case of need
for rapid transition into military eff
fectiveness, but only in an emer-
gency declared by Congress. It
would make a large standing Army
unnecessary.
The next article will embrace the
PLAN on exactly WHAT UNIT is.
However, the War Department
would like to emphasize in all the
articles, that Universal Military
Training is NOT Universal Military
SERVICE. It is not CONSUMPTION"
as practiced by European powers.
The entire Army of the United
States, including the Regular Army,
National Guard, and Organized Re
serves, normally will be made up
wholly of volunteers in time of
peace.

Unlike the present day papers, the
front page carried a number of adj
vertisments, along with the news.
Another thing l noticed was the
number of dentists advertisements in
the paper, which seemed quite
strange, until remembered that in
those days it was perfectly ethical
for dentists to advertise.

that a large number of the guer-

1t was authoritatively reported
that Dimitrios ParsalideS, who in

Gen. Vifiades' proclamation of a
Communist state in Northern Greece
was said to have inspired the Greek
government to plan to push through
legislation outlawing the Commu-
mist Party.
Legal experts said the projected
statute would be based on a similar
law enacted under the late Premier
Eleutherios VeniZelos but not en-
forced in recent years, and its pen
alties would be stiffer.
Meanwhile, government quarters
said they were surprised that the
United States, committed to aid
Greece with $3O0,0O0,O00 in military
and other supplies, had not yet re-
piled to numerous Greek pleas for
arms. There was no comment from
United States officials in Athens.
Call Army insufficient.
The Greeks say their 1500O0-man
army is insufficient to guard q
400 mile frontier and at the same
time fight highly mobile, light
travelling guerrillas. The American
mission to aid Greece has insisted
that Greece has adequate forces to
do the job.
Some Greeks also have criticized
the British for the methods and the
system of command in which they
have trained the Greek army. They
say the army, trained to fight an
invasion by regulars, is poorly
equipped and organized to combat
the rebels.
Constantin Tsaldaris, vice pre-
mier and foreign minister. issued a
statement tonight saying the Army
was short of men and material.
Tsaldaris also declared the duties
of the United Nations in the present
situation are self evident.
u. N. Group Takes No Action.
In Salonika. the U. N. Special
Commission on the Balkans dis
cussed Greek representation on
the Markos government but took
no action. Delegates previously had
expressed the opinion that the
Markos announcement would re-
main a Greek internal problem until
the Communist state was recognized
by neighbor nations and given open
support.
The representation. presented by
the Greek liason officer, complained
about the announcement and sub
sequent use of the Belgrade radio
to spread the support. 1t said the
guerrillaS obviously are being sup
ported and directed from across the
border.
Diplomatic observers said they
realize Soviet satellites are awaiting
American reaction before recogniZ-
ing the Markos regime. They said
if the United States should pledge
all-out support to the Greek gov
ernment. the satellites would delay
recognition. If not. they declared
the Communists would view this as
a sign of weakness and press the
campaign to absorb Greece into
their orbit.
