1950-Defense Turning Point

Reporting on the recent military discussions
at The Hague, General Bradley has given the
American people a solemn reminder that our
North Atlantic Treaty obligations require drastic
changes in our traditional defense concepts
Gone with the last vestiges of isolationism may
be the theory, basic to unification, of balanced
American forces. The chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff has suggested such revolution
ary possibility in an address at Chicago.
General Bradley bluntly declared that as
defense plans for Western Europe develop, the
United States must face the fact that reality
SuperSedes tradition when security of ourselves
and our allies is at stake. Today's balanced
defense team may be sufficient unto the needs
of the moment, as Defense Secretary Johnson
puts it, but it may be gravely insufficient for
tomorrow's needs. General Bradley says that
our present balanced forces may have to become
unbalanced II we are to perform our major role
in the Atlantic community defense team. For
example" he told the Chicago Executives Club
Friday, "the North Atlantic Treaty defensive
plans might require from us greater Air Force,
or greater Navy, than we ourselves would
normally be willing to provide"
His visit to The Hague has left General
Bradley with a feeling that America is at the
threshold of new era of military thinking
II feel that 1850 is the year of the turning
point" he said. He does not advocate any
change in the pending defense budget, which
calls for well-balanced Army Mayfair Force
organization But from now on the planners
at the Pentagon will base their estimates of
needs not on what is required to render the
American continent secure, but to protect the
security of the entire North Atlantic theater
with its twelve cooperating nations.
The greatest burden will fall on the United
States. To be realistic, we must be willing to
aa11
allies are strong and to strengthen our team
in fields where our allies are weak. This policy,
as General Bradley points out, may result in a
team that is unbalanced according to defense
doctrines of the past-but it is the only way to
insure North Atlantic defense organization that
is reasonably adequate to the needs of the cold
war era. In short, the balanced defense team
of tomorrow must be the overall Western mill
tary power opposed to the Communist threat
not necessarily the team of any contributing
member of the epochal pact.

More Potomac Bridges Needed

A balmy Sunday like yesterday brings acutely
10 general public attention the serious shortage
of Potomac bridges in this area 1t is true that
the amount of trafhc on such day exceeds the
regular daily travel over the available bridges
But what needs to be emphasized is that the
rush-hour traffic during weekdays produces
traffic jams during those limited but critical pc
RODS fully as exasperating as those which Sunday
motorists experience at Cherry Blossom time.
The near-completion of one of the new Four
teenth Street bridges is a hopeful augury of i'm
proved conditions within a month or so. But
construction of the twin bridge has been indef-
nitely postponed, because of concentration on
the Anacostia bridge problem. 1t is matter of
hrst things frst-but there are plenty of motor
lists forced to cross the Potomac each day who
would argue that the problem of crossing the
Potomac is as pressing as that of getting across
the Anacostia.
The blunt outlook is that even when both of
the new one-way bridges over the Potomac at
Fourteenth street are open to traffic, there still
will be bottleneck conditions with which to con-
tend on all of the Potomac bridges. A crossing
between Shepherds Landing near Blue Plains,
and Alexandria, is urgently needed, to carry u S.
Route traffic now channeled through the down.
town section. And 1t will not be long before
another crossing between the District and Ar
lington, somewhere between the Memorial and
Key Bridges, will have to be built. Nearby Virginia
adequately by the existing spans. Planning
should begin right now to meet the Potomac
bridge needs of the immediate future.

A Democratic International?

In his address to the National Press Club
President Gabriel Gonzalez Videla of Chile gave
voice to challenging idea when he called for
the formation of democratic international" !"
AS a militant advocate of freedom and human
betterment, he has fought well and successfully
against the Communist global conspiracy in his
own country, and he feels that all nations of like
mind-that is to say, all nations dedicated to the
principles Of liberty-should work actively to-
gether in q systematic, carefully organized effort
to counter that conspiracy.
What President Gonzalez has in mind, of
course, could hardly operate as does the Com
munist International For that organization
which now goes by the name of Communist In
formation Bureau-is nothing but an agency of
the Kremlin. It's MEMBERSHIP seazy puppet
regimes of the satellite countries-have no other
function than to carry out Moscow's orders, and
those orders are designed solely and simply to
help advance, by subversion and kindred means
the imperialism of the Soviet tyranny OBJ
viously, common front" of that sort-a set-up
In which one member is the master and all the
rest vassas-is out of the question for the worlds
democracies.
Yet that does not mean that President Con-
zalez's proposal cannot be translated into action.
Actually, in sense, q democratic international"
already exists, at least in beginning stage. Our
inter-American system the Rio Pact, the Mar
shall Plan, the North Atlantic Treaty, the votes
of the overwhelming majority of the United Ma
tions-all these and similar realities add up to
concrete evidence of slow but sure trend among
free peoples and free governments toward kind
OF global coalition aimed at promoting the we'll
being of the participants as regards economic
health, political stability. social advancement
and military security against Red totalitarian
aggression.
President Gonzalez undoubtedly is well aware
Of all this. Although he has not discussed his
views in detail, there is good reason to believe
that in suggesting the formation of democratic
international" he is thinking chiefly of some
kind of mechanism through which the free ma
tons could coordinate their efforts more effec-
lively and establish kind of general staff to
achieve greater vigor in striving for victory in
the war now raging for mems minds. Signifi-
cantly enough, machinery of much the same sort
has just been proposed by Premier Bidault of
France. The idea-though perhaps difficult to
put into effect-has sufficient merit to warrant
serious study in the West.

Can Stain Really Count on His Soldiers?

Many were sent TO slave labor camps.
The Reds feared that their sojourn in
the West had disillusioned them with
communism.
Americas greatest weapon in a war
with Russia" Col. KneZevich says.
would be neither the atomic bomb nor
the hydrogen bomb. 1t would be the
American idea of freedom from fear
and want. The Russians are no diff
ferent from other people. They want
liberty and decent living conditions
They are not going to fight the country
which can help them oust the Com
munists. If they can avoid it,"
AS for Russian satellite troops. the
colonel predicts they would be completely
unreliable and would leave their Russian
masters at the first opportunity.
He cautions, however. against the be-
lief that a war with the Soviet Union
would be a pushover for the West.
Many Russians have been so thor
oughly saturated with Communist prop
aganda," he says. that they will remain
uninf1uenced by the Vests notably
higher standard of living and by the
general desire to throw of the Red
tyranny. This will be particularly true
OF the men WHO were LOO young W llSIlb
in the last war or were stationed in re-
mote areas.
Many Russian units are equivalent to
the NaZi SIS detachmentS, men chosen
for their reliability and attachment to
the regime. These soldiers will not
desert"
The chief effect of mass desertion
on the Russian war effort, Col. Kneze-
vich believes. would be to weaken
the fighting line without warning. thereby
forcing the Russians to consume time
and transport in bringing up other troops
to patch up their front. In addition.
the Russian commanders could never be
quite sure of the loyalty of the men
used as occupation troops in conquered
territory.
According to this view. hard fighting
would still be essential to beat the Rus
slams, because their available manpower
is so great that they can afford larger
losses than the opposing forces. But
the Russian tendency to desert If prop
erly handled and encouraged by the AL
lied command should have a cumula-
lively weakening effect on the Red Army.
