him with kind of awe that life
can be SO cheap.
Too much to live for?" That
may be an American fault on
single battlefield. But it is an
American virtue in terms of our
national safety.
This country has no waves of
flesh to wash over and drown
the teeming flesh of Asia in
arms. It's flesh is limited and
cannot be wasted. Nor can its
dreams be thrown away, the
dreams of those who have SO
much to live for.
The American casualties are
now more than $1,000. A second
winter of potential stalemate is
at hand, unless some daring tac-
tical troke of gigantic size
breaks the back of red resistance.
But some way must be found
to stop this bleeding to death of
American men in Asiatic SHOWS.
Can our army afford the drain
of taking Korea hill after endless
hill, as it did in Italy?
America may yet have to
reach deeper into its armory and
produce a mightier and more de-
cisive weapon to save the aope-
full flesh and trained brains of
frontline troops we cannot spare.
A bold new move would ap-
pear to be the answer.

He is today probably the most
efficient soldier ever to represent
this nation. But he is a technician

a soldier who prefers to avoid
body contact with the enemy and
wants to kill him from a distance.
He puts his faith in his weapons

Why?

said the lieutenant, who knows.
The American soldier has the
distaste that any person who re-
CARDS himself as civilized must
feel when he finds himself re-
dueed to fighting for his life
against a foe he regards as bar
barian. To him the Chinese and
north Korean enemy seem little
more than sad and frenzied an

terry have been taught to load and
fire guns at him.
American troops carry out or

by doing so they will come back
to the highest standard of living
in tho world. They want to re-
turn to a land where food and
warmth are taken for granted,
and man e-n work up to some
thing better.
Their red enemy carry out or

because they know nothing ex-

they would starye if they refused
