REGULAR Army at Its Ebb

The drab report on the state of Regular
Army strength given by General Jacob l..
Devers, chief of the Army Ground Forces,
constitutes a cogent argument in behalf
of rapid building up of the National
Guard and the Organized Reserve Corps.
With only two divisions of regular troops
and a regimental combat team available
In this country for emergency defense, 1t
Is starkly evident that the Guard and
Reserve units must shoulder greater re-
sponsibilities than ever before.
General Devers, with frankness that
must have startled the World War II vet
Grams to whom he addressed his remarks,
disclosed that the only regular outfits left
in the United States today are the Eighty
second Airborne Division at Fort Bragg,
North Carolina; the Second Infantry Divi-
sion at Fort Lewis Washington, and regi-
mental combat team of infantry, artillery
and other units at Camp Hood, Texas.
These widely scattered forces are all that
the Regular Army could throw into action
in event of an unforeseen airborne or
other attack on America. The bulk of the
Arrny's strength Is spread thinly in occu-
pied areas of Europe and Asia-too far
away to be of help against an invader of
the Western Hemisphere. Furthermore,
our troops in occupied areas are, for the
most part, inexperienced In combat and
short in training for warfare.
It Is because of this dire outlook that
the War Department is exerting its best
efforts to reorganize the National Guard
and the Reserve Corps In the shortest time
possible. But this task is proving to be a
difficult one. Guard and Reserve officials
report an ample supply of officer material,
mostly drawn from veterans who held COM
missions in the late war. The trouble is in
finding sufficient men to fill the non
commissioned ranks. The average former
enlisted man seems to be responding very
alphabetically to even the most high-pres-
sure recruiting program of Guard or Re-
serve authorities. The recruiting results
in the Guards postwar recruiting cam
paign indicate the extent of this indiffer-
ence. Despite intensive efforts through
out the country in recent months, the
National Guard has succeeded in enrolling
less than sixth of its authorized strength
of $4,000 officers and men. As for the Or
ganized Reserve Corps, only small per-
centage of eligible men have applied.
This grave lag in Guard and Reserve
enrolment points to the urgency of adopt
ing some form of universal military train
ing as continuing source of manpower
for these vital defense branches. The
War Departments training proposal was
drawn with that end in view. Under 1t
trainees have the option of full year OF
Regular Army instruction or six months
of Regular and six months of Guard or Re-
serve instruction. The desirab bility Of such
training program is more than ever ap-
parent, now that our regular defense forces
have dwindled to such skeletonized pro-
portions.

mum unless and until trade between us
should assume more reciprocal character.
And what is true OF Britain tends to be-
come equally true of most of Europe, much
of Asia, and even parts of Latin America.
We here envisage problem that has ex-
listed ever since the United States was
transformed from a debtor to a creditor
nation during World War I. The solution
is not easy, for the United States has been
strongly protectionist ever since the Civil
War, and It's economic life is geared to
high tariff policy. Mr.. strachey puts his
finger on one of the economic difficulties
which our exaggeratedly creditor position
engenders. 1t will not be met by routine
thinking or the reteration of traditional
slogans

Letters to The Star
Greenbelt Co.operator on War Path

OfeenDelt AOaOpefatOf on war Faith
To the Editor Of The star:
AS "a housewife Of Greenbelt, Md, one
Of 2,46o members of Greenbelt Consumer serv-
Ices, the small. business cooperative that pro-
Ndes retail services to the people of Greenbelt.
and member of the Board Of Directors,
confess shock and anger at the inquistion
we Of Greenbelt recently were subjected to
by a subcommittee of the House Small Busi-
ness Committee. A lot of my neighbors feel
the same way about 1t. am one Of the many
residents here who voluntarily have pooled
hard-won savings and have given hours without
end to nurturing the co-operative-all the way
from scrubbing floors to lengthy attendance
at board and membership meetings, thrashing
out our inevitable problems In democratic
fashion.
Here is why I, and lot Of others, are dis
turbed to the point Of anger: First, we were
excluded from the committee hearings by the
simple device of picking small hearing room
affording little accommodation for any one ex-
cept the committee, its staff. witnesses and.the
press. With crowd of Greenbelt residents
outside the door on the opening day. most
of the available space for spectators was filled
with high school age children mysteriously
placed in precious seats before the opening.
Evidently the committee was afraid to come
to Greenbelt for Its hearings, and also afraid
to use one of the larger hearing rooms avail
able. Am to surnise that 1t Is a crime In this
democratic country for members of q cooper
ative to turn out to public hearing when their
own business, in which they have their savings
invested, Is under attack?
Another action of the committee makes us
suspicious. Only sntico-operattve witnesses
were called to testify, some disgruntled former
employees of the cooperative, others eager to
establish their own stores.
To top 1t all the committee brought In
comparative price study by one Of the large
food chains one that wants to get in" at
Greenbelt The committee at least might
have obtained an impartial price check
Proof Of the pudding came when the COM
mttee passed Judgment before they had even
seen all OF the evidence. They recklessy urged
the government agency public Housing Ad-
ninistration) to abroeate contract with the
cooperative. Fortunately, the PHA has decent
respect for contract obligations.
We, with faith In democratic procedures
though little experience In the mysterious ways
Of House committees intend to fight for our
rights. We do not operate monopoly In Green
belt Our business Is under our democratic
control-one member, one vote. We are not
fools enough to exploit ourselves In our own
establishments. Our cooperative stores rep
resenting two-thirds Of all Greenbelt families,
have policy of service first" Is this not our
prerogative in free country2
We are proud Of what has been built up in
Greenbelt during the past 10 years through
our cooperative. May we invite our neighbors
In Washington to come and see for themselves?
Our facilities, community and cooperative. can
be seen and used at any time and all are
welcome. CARNIE Q. HARPER.

Britain Cuts Out American Food

Food Minister John Strachey's disclosure
that Britain has stopped buying food from
the United States Is not Immediately dis
concerting. With hungry world clamor-
ing for our foodstuffs, the discontinuance
of British buying can have little or no pres
ent effect. The slack will be taken up else
where. Indeed, 1t may be a relief to our
official planners, caught as they are In the
dilemma between the apportionment OF
short crops to foreign demands and do
mestic requirements.
What should however. be seriously pom
dered Is the line of argument whereby
Britains Food Minister justified to his fell
low-citizens the discontinuance of pur-
chases from America which will un-
doubtedly intensity the discomforts and
even prvations suffered by most English
men today.
Using the occasion of an address at Dun
dee, Scotland, as forum, Mr.. Strachey did
not limit himself to the current shortage
of dollar exchange as the basic reason for
his Governments decision. He went on to
warn all American exporters, "the Ameri-
can film magnates and the rest" that in

ever be able to take their goods again was
"for America to buy more things from
Britain" Going even further, he then
launched an attack on our high tariff poll
cy, which, in his opinion, rendered bal
anced exchange of goods between Britain
and America virtually impossible. Until
that diseouilibrium was remedied, loans
and credits from the United States. though
gratefully accepted, "can at best be only
stop-gaps and we must not for one moment
rely on them"
To be sure, discontinuance Of food pur-
chases from America does not spell gen.
eral rupture of trade with US. Mr.. strachey
admitted that Britain would have to buy
some raw materials from the United States
cotton, for instance, some machinery
and, unless We all stop smoking, some to-

Support From q Strong Quarter

The American LegionS unanimous en-
dorsement Of legislation for universal
military training and of the Marshall plan
for European recovery lends strong and
significant support to two measures vital
to the security and well-being of the
Nation.
With It's membership of more than
100000 spread throughout the country,
the Legion is in position to play highly
important educational role Sizable seq
ments of our population, including seq
ments of Congress, still seem indifferent
to what needs to be done If we are to
be safe in this world. 1t is gratifying,
therefore, that an organization as in
fuential as the Legion has placed itself
soldly behind peacetime military training
and large scale aid to European countries
seeking to get back on their own feet and
maintain their independence against the
creeping menace of Red totalitarianism
The two measures-universal military
training and the Marshall plan-are
related in the sense that they are both
designed to serve the Nations best in
terests. In the world as it is, with inter-
national relations what they are, security
demands that American youth be ready
for any eventuality. Similarly, our security,
together with our economic needs, de-
pnands. that we take every sound step
possible to promote the recovery of that
part of the world that is on our side. Not
to do these things would be simply to
gamble with our own safety and prosper
ity and to give the green light to an
expansionist Russia.
In giving full support to preparedness
adequate armed forces as well as military
training-and in backing the Marshall
plan and the Greek-Turkish aid program,
the American Legion has shown the kind
of realism all of us need at this stage. 1t
has rendered distinct service, moreover,
in resolving to use It's powerful influence
to spread that realism throughout the
Nation, not excepting the halls of
Congress.

Think Twice Before Coshinq In

When President Truman signed the bill
authorizing immediate cashing of veterans
terminal leave bonds. he made an urgent
plea that former servicemen 60 slow in
taking advantage Of the privilege. 1t is
well that holders of the bonds be reminded
Of the Presidents advice as provisions of
the law go into effect.
It is unfortunately true that the average
veteran will be inclined to pay little
attention to the infiationary aspects of a
widespread rush to the banks by bond
holders. Yet the infationary dangers
Involved in the sudden release at this
time Of up to two billion dollars worth
Of spending money should not be over
booked by the individual veterans already
concerned as he is over rising prices. 1t
was the possibility of evil economic roper
eussions that led Mr.. Truman to warn
veterans that todays windfall might we'll
become tomorrow's grief
If all of the nine million holders of
terminal leave bonds were to exchange
their bonds for currency within the next
few days or weeks, there would be put into
circulation approximately two billions of
dollars, according to Treasury estimates
A survey by the Army Times indicates
that nearly three-fourths of the bonds
will be turned into cash beginning today,
which would mean the dumping into
spending channels of more than one and
q quarter billions. Senator Francis J.
Myers, Democrat, of Pennsylvania, points
out that buying spree In this period of
restricted production might lead to greater
scarcity and higher costs that, in the end,
would tend to nullify any benefits accruing
from the bonds.
The Army Times survey showed that
about twenty per cent of the bondholders
plan to use the cash to pay off indebted
ness-apparently incurred in anticipation
of passage of the terminal leave bond
lesislation This deficit spending" already
has exerted its effect on the economy. The
remaining eighty per cent Of those intend
ing TO cash their bonds, the survey
revealed, plan to use the money for home
payments, medical bills, clothing, educa-
ton, automobiles and miscellaneous items,
Including some luxurtes.
Use of the cash to meet oongatlons
