n,

as a tourist because I haven't
travelled the world, but I do be-
lieve, sincerely, that Scotland is
one Of the sweet and gentle places
on this earth
I sent that dog out for me. He
came back smoking a pipe and I
asked him as we sat in front of
the fire if he would sit on my lap
and tell me what he saw.
He said he would. So he jumped
on my lap. curled up, and for an
hour or two we enjoyed talks about
lovely Scotland. I've seen almost
all the countries in the world and
I have yet to find one where the
people are more gracious, the
landscape is more lovely than in
the stout-hearted little country Of
Scotland.

There was much waste Of pub
lie funds in the military establish
ment during the war. After the
end of hostilities. the Pentagon
was slow in cutting down non-
essential expenditures. There is no
question that Secretary johnson
acted wisely, in doing away with
many naval shore establishments
and merging various purchasing
agencies which were buying inde-
pendently articles such as sheets
and boots for each individual
branch. He was equally right in
sending regular officers perform
ing desk duties to the troops and
de-activating reserve officers who
preferred to remain on active duty
rather than face competition in
civilian life.
But in his enthusiasm for
economy, the secretary ais o
trimmed down the ground and air
forces below the strength neces-
sary for defense of the United
States.
Squabbles Die Down.
The squabbles which existed
last year between the three serv-
ices in an effort to obtain the
largest slice of appropriations are
now virtually over. The generals
and admirals on whose shoulders
rests the ultimate responsibility
of defense realize that none OF
the branches is ready to meet an
immediate emergency.
Our military responsibilities are
global. extending from the At
lantic to the Pacific. Moreover, for
the first time in nearly $50 years
we might face a direct attack on
United States territory itself. This
"global responsibility" assumed by
our Government requires a much
larger force than we have now.

This Changing World
Defense "Fat Trimming" Included
Some of the Best Lean Meat

Our present strength, concen-
trated in the United States. might
be capable of resisting a blitz sue
cessfully. Spread all over the
world, it cannot. This was realized
by Congress last year when it ap-
propriated funds to increase our
air, ground and naval forces. The
executive branch of the Govern
ment on the recommendation of
the Secretary of Defense cut these
down drastically. The Joint Chiefs
of Staff. probably Influenced by
the thinking of civilians, preferred
to indorse billions of dollars to be
spent on arming foreign countries
with doubtful military efficacy
rather than insist that America
should be given top priority in
making herself strong.
All those who protested openly
or privately the reduction of our
forces were told that the top flight
officers including Gen. Eisenhower
were in full agreement with the
trimming planned by the execu-
tive branch of the Administration.
Eisenhower Confirms Fears.
During the last few months
there was loud and open criticism
of the Defense Secretary that he
was reducing our military strength
below the safety limit. Gen. Eisen-
hover now confirms the fears.
The trimming of the armed
forces is also weakening our hand
politically. Our diplomats. and
those Of our allies, have be-
come increasingly aware that only
physical power can influence the
thinking of Moscow. Our new
diplomatic approaches will lead
nowhere SO long as the dictators
in the Kremlin know that we have
no means to implement the
strong talk" of recent weeks.
The clear-cut statements OF
Secretary of State Acheson are in
tended to make the Kremlin feel
that we do not intend to let the
USSR carry on its present preda-
tory policies in Europe. Asia or
Africa. We want a stable peace
based on an understanding with
Russia in complete good faith on
both sides.
When the utterances of our
Secretary of State reached Moscow
the inevitable question of the Rus
sian dictators was with what will
the Westerners implement their
stand?" They probably admit that
America still has a great war
potential. But faced with an all
out aggression there is little we
can do at present to help our
allies or protect ourselves.

Again The Whistle Stop
Truman Versus Congress to Be Issue
In Presidents Cross.C Country Tour

to the Democratic Party, and Mr..
Truman would be charged with
failure Of leadership.
-. Hard to Make 1t Stick.
He will undoubtedly be SO
charged, but it will be harder
than it once was TO make it stick,
even though 1t is an element of
his own party that has defeated
or held back social welfare
measures in which so many voters
are interested and about which
the President will pitch the do
mestic phase Of the congressional
campaign.
On such issues, the votes Of
Southern conservative Democrats
have been decisive by being
thrown in with Republicans in
that now familiar coalition which.
on such issues, controls Congress
and has become in effect, the
second major party time after
time.
Millions Of voters interested in
social welfare measures, particu-
larly well-organized labor and
progressive groups, have become
educated to the attitudes and the
continuous repeat performances
of this coalition and have ceased
to identify the Southern Demo-
Gratis with President Truman. or
blame him for this blockade. They
identify the President with what
might be called the Truman
Democratic Party.
He has helped along this edu-
tcational process himself by seek
ing to divorce himself from the
Southern conservatives of Dixie
crat tendencies. Practically. as a
matter Of political preservation,
he is seeking to Offset its defec-
ton, which cost him four States
in 1948, by forming a new alli-
ance Of labor, so influential in
urban voting, and Midwest farm
ers. Such q loose alliance was
responsible for his 1948 victory.
This he will promote in his
whistle stop" campaigns this
spring and fall. Immediately to
elect, if possible, more progress
sive Democrats outside the South
to Offset Southern conservatives
in Congress, and beyond that. to
strengthen this farm-labor align
ment for the 1852 presidential
contest.

chortled beaming Republican,
Republican complacency about
the turn of events that has put
President Truman on the spot Is
not hard to understand. Senator
Kerr's gas bill exempts the great
majority Of natural gas producers
from regulation and forebodes
heavy price increases to the con-
sumer. Thus, 1t constitutes pro-
interests, anticonsumer legislation
of the type that Democrats for
20 years have successfully iden-
tined exclusively with the COP.
Belated Opposition.
Somewhat belatedly realizing
this fact. the Democratic National
Committee has been throwing its
weight against the bill. Presiden-
tial Counsel Charles Murphy also
has denied in Key West, in the
Presidents presence. that Mr..
Truman has indicated his ap-
proval of it.
The result is that the bill nears
a final vote in a very different
climate from that originally Gre
ated by its principal advocates.
Senators Kerr of Oklahoma and
johnson of Texas. These articu-
late gentlemen undertook to per-
suade the White House that the
Kerr bill did no more than re-
affirm the original intent Of the
Natural Gas Act of 1888, which,
they said, exempted Independent
producers from regulation.
President Truman is reliably
reported to have declared con-
sistently that he would never,
never, never weaken the regula-
tory powers of the Federal Power
Commission over natural gas.
Whether he came to believe that
the Kerr Bill did or did not SO
weaken the FPC is in dispute.
Certainly he gave the green
light to a Senate debate on the
issue. When Majority Leader
Lucas put the Kerr bill on the
Senate calendar. it was obvious
that the President had been con-
suited and had agreed. Senator
Lucas may not be a Daniel Web
ster but he does not put poten-
TALLY embarrassing bills on the
Senate calendar without asking
his President and party leader
about doing 80, especially in an
election year.
