The Army Chief of Staff went
before a New York audience last
NIGHT to disclose military thinking
on the Atlantic Alliance.
In a speech prepared for delivery
.efore meeting of Jewish war
veterans, General Omar Bradley
explained that he had been asked
BY the state Department to COM
aent publicly on the pact. And IN
that light Bradley's speech took on
added significance
Throughout his speech Bradley
discarded the notion that 1t wcufd
he impossible to prevent Russia
from overlunning Europe If the
Krenalin flashed the order.
Bradley rejected the argument
that all the United states could
do-in such a case-would be to
strike back-first WITH air power
and eventually with a counter
attack OF liberation. ss
Such strategy, Bradley salo' "ouiu
breed despair among potential
allies in Europe.
Rather, he said, there must be
military aid program to strengthen
the lamparts of western Europe So
that no aggressor could oyerrun ithe
continent. Bradley said the balance
CT COVER must be moved to Europe
itself-not centered 5000 miles
away in the United States.
In Bradleys words: u know oi
no other expenditure that can pro
duce greater security than invest
ment in a timely defense OF the
borders of western Europe,
