In case you have forgotten, the
United States army, the greatest
military machine in history, was
'redeployed" out of existence and
under such pressure from mothers
and wives, and at such breakneck
speed, that in many cases it didn't
leave a pile of scrap behind it to
mark the spot whence it melted and
dribbled away. The Red army didn't
re-deploy. It is still largely de-
ployed.
And so here we are again!

had been growing stronger in re-

II wrote) ''what lot of people want
to know is why we need a citizen
army in peacetime?"
A lot of people are asking that
question again today. The answer
which 1 reported to you in this col
umn eight years ago was this:
"Speed is what counts in an
army today. We aren't calling out
these boys to fight anybody. We
are calling them out to train them
SO they'll be ready if we ever need
them. The United States can al
ways raise big army if war is
declared. But neither we nor any
other country can raise trained
army overnight. And lot can
happen in the night these days.
What we want to do is to train
these men for a reserve :"
It was year and three months
after I wrote those words that some
thing did happen, not in the night,
but in the early morning, over Pearl
Harbor. We didn't start it. The
Japs did the deciding. They decided

The Lessons OUer,
No Time for Recess

December z, 1941. We have learned
how to fight a global war and win
it. The question is will we do the
things which will prevent global
war?
That will be something if we do.
Meanwhile the wheel seems to
have made the circle and some of
the boys who were learning squads
right in 1910 are wondering if this
is where they came in. I had a
chance to think about that on another
trip back from the war department
recently, or I should say the depart
ment of national defense. It's a
longer journey now than it was to the
old Temporary World War build
ing on Constitution avenue. The
Pentagon sprawls geometrically over
80 acres across the Potomac in
Virginia. The message brought
back was very much like the one I
reported eight years ago.
1t was a reinsurance that the
request for three billion more dol
lars for national defense is what
the military men say Is the mini
mum peacetime expenditure to
prevent war. In other words, de-
fenSe, not Offense. 1t was pointed
out that if it were necessary now
to prepare for actual conflict, the
cost would run closer to so billions
than three.
I was most heartily assured that
the United States did not want war,
that no encouragement whatever was
being given those few persons who
urged preventive" action. With less
certainty, but advanced as an honest
opinion, was the statement that Rus
sia did not want war, either.
''There is no reason, as far as
we know nOw," one official told
me, "why war cannot be avoided,
provided a reasonable balance is
established between the military
forces of the two countries. Now
we are in imbalance."
It was noted that Russia and her
satellites now have under arms near
ly twice the number which this
country and the anti Communist
countries of western Europe could
put in the field.
tits we'll to remember too that the
Russian Red army is modified; it
is largely concentrated in eastern
Europe, whereas American troops
are thinly scattered over the whole
earth. Russia has never really de-
modified, she has more combat
planes and men to man them; she
has greater land force; numeri-
cally-superior artillery.
We are strong in bombing planes,
but she has a stronger defense in
fighter and interceptor planes. She
is believed to be producing from
$4,000 to 100000 planes a year. We
produced 1,7OO military planes OF
all types last year.
But "our biggest shortage is in
equipment" said a veteran officer.
One might go on at great length.

story of ''redeployment'' ever since

Stressing Of U. S.-Russian
SimiIarities Held Peace Aid

Stressing the similarities between
Americans and Russians without
exaggerating their differences was
urged last night as way to pro-
mote peace by Valery J. Teresh-
tenko, former UNRRA oficial and
expert on Russia.
Mr.. Terreshtenko, a Russian-born
American who returned from
mission to the Ukraine last year,
spoke at the International Student
House. 1925 r. street NM Before
joining UNRRA, he worked for the
Commerce and Labor Departments
Describing many differences in
Russian and American psychology
and habit which have led to mis-
understanding, Mr.. Tereshtenko said
one of the greatest conflicts is in
the attitude on compromise.
Americans, he explained, regard
compromise as logical means Of
settling differences while the Rus
slams do not. Russians may make
a strategic retreat and even may
change their course entirely, but
they never compromise, he said.
