President Truman has issued call
for legislation to safeguard the fu-
ture Of this country.
He has called for (D quick adop-
ton Of the $500, 100000 European
Recovery program. (2) universal mil
itary training for all young men, (3)
selective service to give the armed
forces men they need.
All of these things oslksd for by
the President should be grdntsd
without dsldY by the Congress.
Congress has already stepped up
action on the European recovery
program. Well and good. II we are
going to help Europe at all it should
be in time to do some good g.. not
wait until after the Communists take
over and get entrenched.
The Congress has failed to act on
universal military training, kicking
1t around in political football The
country has long since favored uni
versal military training.
Selective service seems to be the
only way to get the men needed to
bring the armed forces up to full
peace-time strength.
The American people are tired of
a lot of things and Russia is one of
them. We don't like the idea of being
taxed to death to support what is
due to be the biggest and wealthiest
nation in the world and at the same
time see American prestige kicked
around by the Russian government.
We are tired of sitting back and let
ting Russia call the shots. We are
sick Of seeing and hearing our lead
ers talk about action after Russia
has taken over. What we want to see
is our country assert its rights before
the horse is stolen out of the barn.
What's the need of having the
otomic bomb if we aren't going to
use II?
