Armed Forces Day

The slogan chosen for this years Armed
Forces Day is Standardization" Both
the day and the slogan are meant to serve the
threefold purpose of demonstrating the devel
oping teamwork of the military services, giving
the Nation at large broad view Of its growing
defensive power, and emphasizing the ideal to
which that power is dedicated-the ideal Of peace
with liberty and justice:
AS far as sloganeering is concerned, other
words come to mind particularly words like
watchfulness and perseverance. This is danger
GUS world in which anything can happen at any
time-a German Korea, for example, or greatly
expanded war in Asia. AS never before there
fore, the United States and it's Allies must be
wide-awake to the possibility of being suddenly
confronted with some grave new menace in an
age when developments like atomic weapons,
supersonic fight and giant intercontinental
bombers have vastly decreased the protective
significance of land distances, ocean barriers
and similar geographical factors. BY the same
token, because present international tensions
are long-term in nature and because the best
we can hope for is to keep them from exploding
into an all-out armed conflict it is imperative
again as never before-that we and our friends
abroad remain steadfast in what we are doing,
not vacillating, not backtracking, not wearying
of the immense and costly burdens that must be
aggression.
This need for perseverance in defense is q
new thing in our national history. Although
there is reason to believethat our current build
up Of strength may well succeed in deterring
the Kremlin from precipitatng another global
war, the international outlook leaves little room
for doubt that real peace, peace in which all
nations can have confidence, is far distant.
Certainly, there is not the slightest sign of an
early end to the fateful contest OF, will and power
now raging between our free world and the
slave world of the Soviets On the contrary, the
overwhelming mass Of evidence indicates that
the struggle probably will continue for years to
come and that during that time the United
States if it is to be safe will have to remain
armed accordingly, keeping its Army, Navy and
Air Force equipped with the best possible weapons
and ready for any emergency. In such circum-
stances since to do less would be to invite
destruction from the Red totalitarians, we must
steel ourselves to the fact that our long-term
security effort is going to cost lot of money
and try us in way that will call for great deal
of mental and spiritual stamina.
In that sense our armed forces must loom
large in our thinking not Just today but every
day. Their maintenance together with the
maintenance Of military production base that
can be rapidly expanded, is the price we must
pay to preserve peace or win the next war in
case it cannot be averted It is heavy price,
but If we are resolute in paying it, then we may
at least hope that the men of the Kremlin will
be deferred from striking and will in due course
perhaps within decade-begin to cooperate in
establishing an enduring system of collective
world security.

Letters to The Star

that in any case the supernatural, usu-
ally conceived Of in the form of heavenly
gods or immortal heavens, does not
exist" And on page 32: Mature is
everything, in which there is no super
natural and in which man is an integral
part Of nature and not separated from
it by any sharp cleavage or discontinue
ity."
In other words, the only deity recog-
nized by natural humanism is nature
itself. Since this form of humanism Is
the one consistent with Mrs. McCollum's
previously expressed view on religious
worship, it is logical to suppose it is the
form she now embraces. In virtue Of it,
the term atheist, in its proper sense, can
still be applied.

ington on January IL, 1949, Mrs. Nc
Collum was quoted in The Star as saying
she is not an atheist or freethinker and

Lazy France
The most current leader of the
French government is asking for $500
million. This is a disgrace and an
insult to Western civilization, for this
degenerated nation, as we know from
long experience, will neither work nor
fight. It would be even more disgrace
full were we to acquiesce in this broad
ening philosophy of parasitism and
laiSSez-faire materialism
Communism will never be stopped
with anarchy or charity, and if the
French people do not believe in them
selves to the extent of developing their
own resources and their own leaders.
then we Should-nay must-take them
over and integrate them at least for our
own safety. Certainly unity is more
vital than this kind of freedom. Even
regimented socialism is preferable to
this effete and moldering do-nothing-
ness.
