backing necessary to the Nationalist
troops on Formosa to enable them to
start new front in China. We must also
raise and equip huge army of "volun-
teerS" in Japan. Within a short time,
We should be able to send a million
japanese to fight in Korea against the
Chinese Reds. We>must insist that these
japanese are volunteers" just as Vishin-
sky calls the Chinese Reds.
In Europe we must prepare an army
OF million men. Western Europe actu-
ally is in a position to furnish more
than that amount of manpower In most
European nations, to raise an army is
very simple, when you can offer the
soldiers 81 day. We will have a tre-
mendous response-as for instance. in
Italy, where now only an army of "volur =
teers" or police" can be raised. If such
q program Is undertaken Immediately,
and only in that case, Russia will hesi-
tate to make move.
We have great weapons that we have
never really used, weapons far superior
to an atomic Or hydrogen bomb These
weapons are propaganda and bread I
mean a concrete and well-studied propa-
ganda, and more bread than the Marshall
Plan ever envisaged. We should appro-
pirate at once So billion for propaganda
alone. We should send our best and
most capable men throughout the world
to carry our message to every man,
woman and child. We must make them
realize that. II they follow the teachings
and orders Of communism, they will
perish. At the same time, we must con-
vince the people of the world that we
are ready to make great sacrifices to
help them attain their long desired
peace, and give them an opportunity to
acquire a civilized standard of living.
We must help these nations to bring to
an end the suffering of millions of un-
fortunate workers. in order that they
shall not be forced into the evil trap
Of communism any longer.
The announcement of such a pro-
gram by the American Government
would cause terrific repercussion

reject communism. for they would see
the light of hope and regain the will to

IsroeI's Orchestra

The Philharmonic Orchestra of the new
nation OF Israel is a natural expression of the
Jewish people wherever they may dwell It
represents the latest service which the Jews
have rendered to music as a universal art The
tradition to which it relates was established
thousands OF years ago, long prior to the moment
reported in First Chronicles, xiii8, when David
and all Israel played before God with all their
might, and with singing and with harps, and
with psalteries, and with tmbrels, and with
cymbals, and with trumpets"
But the Israel Orchestra. as Washington
heard it Sunday evening, is not merely cultural
manifestation of the Jewish community as SUCH
1t has connotations far beyond those of nation
hood, important though those identifications
may be. The 95 players in the ensemble were
recruited from 13 different countries. Watching
them work, the spectator shared Terence's de-
light in being human. 1t is a heartening expert
ence to see SO many individuals-each conscious
virtuoso-labor together for any idealistic pur-
pose. Music especially f1ourishes on cooperation
1t is fundamentally social art. And that was
obvious at the debut of the Israel Philharmonic
The atmosphere was friendly, and the audience
responsive in the highest degree.
Yet the success of the occasion was in no
narrow respect partisan. Musicianship was the
price the Israel Orchestra gladly paid for the
applause it received. Such group playing is not
heard every day. The power of the company
was like that of the sea- Melody rolled from it
in the manner of the surf on an echoing shore
Each separate sound was distinct contribution
to the whole, and the result was richly impress
sve, indeed. Forty cities to be visited by
the ensemble on this first tour of the United
States. Thus thousands of Americans from coast
to coast will have new chance to learn what
great music really means in terms of worldwide
civilization. Each of them will understand
without being told that freedom, peace and
fellowship are prime requisites for such noble
artistic achievement.

New Army Weapon Against 'Hospito|its'
By jones G. Deone

A NEW system OF handling war caSu-
4 Aalties is quietly coming into being
in the United States Army.
Medical officers for several years have
been seeking way to speed up the
treatment and the return to combat of
slightly-wounded and sick soldiers. The
need for such a speedup asserted itself
repeatedly in World War II. Often 1t
took months to get a CT, who maybe
needed only brief medical treatment.
back into action.
The answer now almost ready for
trial, is a new type of field medical
installation called convalescent center.
The men who will man the first two
of these centers now are completing
their training at Fort Lewis. Wash.
The new convalescent center is in
tended specifically for the combat zone
For many soldiers, it will substitute
entirely for hospital. For others. who
have finished hospital treatment, it will
provide intensive physical recondition-
ing. Here is how the new setup will
operate:
The basic function of the convalescent
center will be to provide care for COM
neuro- -psychiatric disturbances ("combat
fatigue') and minor injuries or wounds
and to take care Of their recondition-
ing.
A center will be attached to an Army
corps (tWo or three divisions, and situ-
ated in the Army service area. The corps
evacuation hospitals will be within con-
venient reach.
Capacity of the center will be $500
patients These will come from evacu-
alton hospitals, from casualty clearing
stations or direct from units in the
vicinity The object for all patients will
be to return them to duty as quickly as
possible. Soldiers needing less than three
entire treatment there. and then will go
back to their own units.
The center will bear little resemblance
to hospital, although it will have q
complete clinical service and a dispen-
sary for 800 patients. All except dis
pensary patients will wear their normal
uniforms rather than the customary hos
pital paiamas. and they will have cots
rather than hospital beds. There won't
be lot of elaborate equipment, either.
The installation will be housed in tents,
and it will be readily movable.
When a soldier comes in, the first
thing facing him will be complete
physical examination, plus q check to
determine his exercise tolerance"-the
limits of his physical capacity. If he
needs medical or surgical care, he can
be assigned to the 300-bed dispensary.
If not, he will be assigned to the first
of three successive reconditioning COM
panies.
These companies. each headed by an
officer specializing in reconditioning and
a trained physical instructor, will put
the patient through a progressive pro-
gram of exercise designed to build up

ers. The oppressed would cause unrest:
disunity would force him to use his
soldiers to watch over his subjugated
masses. II we carry out such plan wisely.
not only will we stay out of general war
Tor long time, but within two years
the Red menace will be joke.
To most of our Government leaders
this letter may not sound very convinc-
ing. 1t seems impossible for them to
revolutionize their way of thinking, and
to realize that this is the atomic age and
that God has given power to man to
destroy himself unless men change their
ways OF life and mental attitudes.
Wars today can and must be won
with psychological weapons, instead of
those of destruction
