the fulfillment Of duties toward us
The United States ought not to in
dulge a persuasion, that contrary
to the order of human efforts they
will forever keep at a distance those
painful appeals to arms with which
the history of every other nation
abounds. There is rank due the
United States among nations which
will be withheld, II not absolutely
lost. by the reputation of weak
ness-if we desire to avoid insult,
we must be ready to repel it; If we
desire to secure peace. one Of the
most powerful institutions Of our
rising prosperity, 1t must be known
that we are at all times ready for
war"
John Adams and Thomas Jeffer-
son had no better luck with secur-
ing a program to insure a constant
militia, although another war was
already imminent. A few desultory
moves featured the peaceful period
up to the Civil War, the termina-
ton of which made war and
the talk of war a highly repugnant
subject.
Marshall Reviewed Subject

ing, impressed with the fact that
the United States was caught un-
prepared when World War broke
out, tried unsuccessfully to have the
Nation establish a policy Of interim
defense. Against whom. the legisla-
tors asked, are we to prepare de-
fense? But inside of 20 years. Hitler
had rejuvenated and expanded the
broken German Army Of 1918 snd
started a march across two-f1fths OF
Europe.
When Mr.. Marshall was Chief OF
Staff, he made q rather thorough
recapitulation of defense history in
his 1945 report covering hostilities
from 1913 to the end Of conflict in
Europe. In q summary. he dryly re-
marked: For years men have been
concerned with individual security.

NO Is Historic and Habual Anser to Requests for UNIT

| Legislators and the public alike to
steer clear of copying the military
establishments of the old countries
Another factor which initiates
against the reception of universal
training as a defense policy is
military history itself. No matter
how bad of this country has been
when 1t became necessary to fight
the manpower has been quickly and
effectively supplied. We won the
Revolution with a ragtag, under
paid, poorly armed Colonial Army
and mercenaries. We had no mill
tary establishment of long standing
when the War of 1912 broke out
Rebellions and Indian warfare were
taken care Of by volunteers. North
and South battled for four years
with patriotic enlistees and drafted
men. A draft-expanded National
Guard took care of participation in
World War I. When the last war
broke out, we had about three and
a half divisions scattered around
the country, but had millions under
arms when the time came Tor deci-
sive conflict. In spite Of the fact
that troops were frequently out
numbered, the quality of quickly
trained militia, backed by superior
weapons, thus far at least, has been
sufficient to prosecute successful war
UNIT Started in 1889
There is another element of argu-
ment for universal training now
tending to eliminate the advantages
the United States has had pre-
viously, in the matter of time and
distance. As Secretary of State
Marshall pointed out when he re-
ported as Chief Of Staff toward the
close of World War II, rockets and
the atom bomb have changed the
military concept radically. They
have vaulted the barriers of time
and distance, making war an i'm
mediate rather than an accelerating
threat.
The story Of UNIT had its be-
ginning in 1889 when President

cradle study and effort to the estab-
lishment of social security systems
for those unable or unwise enough
to provide for themselves. But ef-
fective insurance against disasters
which have slaughtered millions and
leveled their homes is long overdue.
We finish each bloody war with a
feeling Of acute revulsion against
this savage form OF human behavior
and yet on each occasion we con-
fuse military preparedness with the
causes of war and drift almost de-
liberately into another catas-
trophe. ="
The House has gone along with
basic draft proposals in reporting
out bill, over the opposition Of FIVE
members, calling for registration of
those between 18 and 80 and possible
induction Of the 19-to-25 bracket.
The House Rules Committee has
bottled up UNIT measure since last
July and the House Is considered
inimical to any such proposal.
The formula for universal military
training still rests with the Senate
Armed Services Committee, now
concluding q study of the possibil-
tiles Of combining 1t with the
selective service plan. House and
Senate conflict over the whole mill
tary picture may be resolved in
consultations, but unless the inter-
national situation becomes much
worse, the matter will wait on the
Senate report.
Sidetracking Moves
In the interim, the foes OF both
draft and UNIT have resourceful
sidetracking moves which may be
employed successfully to brake any
disposition toward granting Pres
ldent Truman's request in full.
Military leaders would like sep
arate, definite measures, but may
settle for . compromise bill If that
is the only way to hurdle the .tradi-
tional cold-shoulder treatment OF
UNIT which history records.

In addition 1t had a huge ship

Has Some Able Helpers

Of Revolutionary War conflict, dis
patched note to the Senate politely
suggesting that a uniform and
effective system for the militia be
adopted. On the occasion of his
first inaugural address, January g.
1870, he remarked that among the
things to be considered was that
of providing for the common de-
fense and uttered his oft-quoted
phrase: ITO be prepared for war is
one of the most effective means OF
preserving peace"
Secretary of War Henry Knox is
said to have engineered Washing
tons plan for UNIT, which called
for training all men reaching the
age of II. The advance group, II
to 81, was to get immediate train
ing, while those from 81 to As were
to form the main corps and those
from 46 through 81, the reserve
corps. to which training was to be
eventually extended.
Washington's Appeal
Such a bill was introduced, but
the infant Nation, concerned with
a scant budget, monetary matters
and its expanding frontier, never
got universal training. The bill
was amended so much that its
original sponsor eventually voted
against it. One version provided
that conscripts furnish their own
arms.
In his fifth annual message, in
1893, Washington still urged Con-
gress to do something about it.
Our seamen were being shanghaied
and impressed, pirates of the Bar
barry Coast were seizing American
ships and Americans. Ransoms
were being demanded and peni-
tently paid for the reclamation of
citizens. Said Washington on that
December: II cannot recommend to
your notice measures for the full
fillment of our duties to the rest of
the world without again impressine
upon you the necessity Of placing
ourselves In q position OF complete

bloc Of delegates than any other
candidate.
Mr.. Dewey knocked again at the
door of political preferment two
years later. When the Republicans
insisted upon running him for Gov
ernor. Mr.. Dewey had returned to
private law practice and was on the
way to one of the largest and most
lucrative practices in the metropolis
This time Dewey was elected-by a
huge vote. After his victory at the
polls Mr.. Dewey said he intended
to serve his full four-year term as
Governor, and perhaps a second
term. His great win in New York,
the Empire State, made him a ma
tural for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination in 1914.
OF the four men who opposed
Franklin D. Roosevelt in presidential
elections, Mr.. Dewey made the best
showing-notwithstanding the fact
he YVES challenging the Com
mander in Chief during desperate
world war. 1t appeared, however,
that Dewey's star was in decline.
The Republicans renominated Mr..
Dewey for Governor. He had made
an excellent record as war Governor
Further, 1916 was Republican year.
When the votes were counted Mr..
Dewey led his Democratic opponent,
Senator Mead, by 100000
Almost Immediately Dewey stock
took an immense bound. Popular
sentiment polls, leading Republican
politicians and more objective OBJ
servers all placed Dewey in the
forefront of possibilities for the Re-
publican presidential nomination
this year. His principal danger
seemed to lie in the possible draft
of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for
the COP candidate, but Gen. Eisen-
hover virtually eliminated himself.
Jolted by Stassen
Came April and Mr.. Dewey was
jolted first in the Wisconsin pri-
mary and then in Nebraska-both
times by the fast flying, hard-cam-
paigning Harold E. Stassen of Min
nesota. Mr.. Dewey had previously
trimmed Mr.. Stassen in the New
Hampshire primary. Mr.. Stassen
ran ahead Of Mr.. Dewey, too, in
the number of write-in votes In the
Pennsylvania preferential primary.
