Gen. Bradley called anew for

geSted a system by which United
States reserve military manpower
would be maintained at a greater
degree of combat readiness than
in the past. He said that would
help provide the military strength
which will be necessary "for many
years to come"
Program Proposed.
To reach the goal of enduring
peace, the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff called for:
l. Building "a strong and whole
some Nation, to act as a pivotal
center for freedom"
2. Maintaining and enlarging in
dustry and productivity, and,
wherever it serves freedoms in
terest." sharing the resulting bene-
fits.
8. Exercising "all the means of
diplomacy, all the Skills Of nego-
tiation, to enlarge the opportuni-
ties for freedom throughout the
world"
I'm short" Gen. Bradley said,
I'VE can and must win the cold
wars. as well as the hot ones. So
long as we can create the political,
economic. religious and moral
strength with which to face the
threats of international COM
we are on the road to
success.
Rapid Buildup Urged.
"At the same time" he added,
I'VE must build the enduring mill
tary strength which can preserve
and protect the United States, and
freedom, SO that we can insure
the security of this pivotal ma
ton"
This, he said, calls for a rapid
buildup of the fighting forces of
the United States and friendly
nations.
TO meet such a demand, he
proposed a new United States sys-
tenn of ever-ready reserves and
National Guardsmen. and a speedy
solution of the deadlock between
this country and France over
plans for rearming Western Ger
many.
The United States favors use of
German divisions in setting up a
Western European defense force.
France wants to restrict the Ger
mans to smaller units within a
European army responsible to a
European assembly.
To Go to Europe.
Declaring that it is within
Americas power to create and
maintain the strength necessary
to protect itself and help protect
other nations which help them
selves. Gen. Bradley added:
There is urgency in our desire
to get on with the establishment
of an integrated force for the
defense of Europe. The Secretary
of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of
Staff are convinced that a re-
surgent Western Europe is one of
the great hopes for the defense of
freedom, and the improvement
of our chances for peace. AS soon
as the problem of German par
ticipation is solved. then we can
proceed with our plan. :"
