MORALE IN ARMED SERVICES

The latest from Washington on the status of morale
in the armed services Is the report Of committee study
ing the problem at the wish of the administration.
The committee, unlike similar several years
ago. up with the conclusion that respect and
discipline needed, not de-emphasis Of distinction be-
cause Of rank
In other words, the committee has decided that a
policy terminating distinctions between officers and men
and sofenng life for enlisted in several ways not
conducive to good morale.
What is needed according to the report, is more
respect and discipline between the various ranks and
more stress good physical condition and less on can
teen and social life Of CT Joe.
If wars have taught only one lesson. they have
taught that armies and naves and air forces must be
disciplined to win battles and campaigns The greatest
asset Of German armies in two world their dis
cpline and training The United States, for the first
time in its history, finds itself faced by foe greatly
superior In numbers and equipment apparently armng
with the one aim Of eventually crushing the United
States.
In such circumstance, we are inclined to agree
with the latest committee report morale in the armed
services Better physical condition. discipline and
proper respect between the ranks will improve the eff
cheney Of the military services, not lower it.
