Bonaparte, and the Mikados Empire all pos
sessed military training on a nationwide scale
and all succumbed to their enemies. The Brit
ish Empire, except in wartime, has used an
other system of voluntary military service, a
system which has until now been followed
with outstanding success by the United States.
Maybe in the first $50 years of the Re-
public we didn't know what we were doing.
Now American mothers can follow the pre-
cept of their Spartan predecessors in mother
hood, and look forward to the return of their
warrior sons as did the women of Sparta.
1t is to be fervently hoped that contempt
rary endeavors to avoid war in the future will
make it possible to avoid miitarized state,
run by strutting generals and devoted to the
elimination of liberty among men,
1t is even possible that the atom bomb may
prove blessing in disguise, if it proves so
horrible that the leaders of nations fear to
resort to it's use
Naturalization of nation is the stepping
stone to disaster. 1t is an enemy of democracy

| to conquer mental illness. But it
will cost us lot more if we don't.
In World War III, more than 21a
million men were lost to the armed
forces because of mental illness.
This is enough manpower for 1T
army infantry divisions and is
more than the total number of men
the army sent to the Pacific theater
of operations during the war.
The National Mental Health Com
mittee advises that to win the fight
against mental illness we must:
Train thousands more psychia-
trists and auxiliary personnel.
Gradually increase our expendi-
lures for research until we are spend
ing at least 500 million year.
Begin Immediately to build des-
perately needed psychiatric labora-
tory facilities, financed by federal
grants matched on the state and
local level.
The most important piece of men
tai health legislation before Con-
gress is the Medical Research Act
of 1866, which has cleared commit
tee in the Senate. 1t would allocate
up to $50 million year for three
years in maching federal monies for
research laboratory construction. This
would permit the National Institute
of Mental Health, set up by law in
1916 and which has yet to receive
one cent of research construction
to get to work on backlog
of $22 million worth of applications
for psychiatric laboratory research
These applications have
come in from non-profit foundations,
medical schools and hospitals all over
the country.
The first session of this Congress
three-year $1.25 million
program of federal aid for nation
wide research and re-evaluation of
he problems of mental health.
Development of the Salk vaccine
is a dramatic example of the enor-
nous dividends resulting from
medical research. We have done
lot with the very little money spent
on psychiatric research. A full scale
assault on mental illness will in -.
the long run save us billions of
dollars in medical costs and, more
important, will relieve millions of
American families from fear and
anxiety.

Miifurism Is a Backward Step

Historians of antiquity have told us that a
Spartan mother was never so proud as when
there was brought home upon his shield
son killed in battle.
The United States has now through legisla-

by President Eisenhower, embarked upon

While the new law is not the Universal
Military Training program which has been
actively sponsored by various patriotic organi-
cations desirious of building an impregnable
military defense for the nation, it is the same
thing via the back door.

ODM announced the reactivation
of the program in April of this year
to expand the nations power pro-
duction capacity to 150-million kilo-
/ watts by the end of 1868. DR.. Cochran
estimated that power companies would
receive tax write-offs covering $2.2-
billion for electric generation and
transmission construction.
Cochran estimated that total sub
sidy involved in the April announce
ment would ultimately amount 10
$3.3-billion This added to the $2.9-
billion during the Korean War totals
$6.2-billion that power companies
would have received in less than five
years. The total subsidy would ex-
coed the total federal investment in
rural electrification and hydro-elec-
trio power programs.
The Idaho Power Company, which
has just received favorable decision
on Hells Canyon from a stacked"
Federal Power Commission, has APP
plications pending for tax write-offs
on two of its three proposed projects.
Idaho Power argued before FPC
that they would pay an estimated
$5.6-million annually in taxes.
However, they did not reveal that
they had already received permits
sion from ODM to write-off in
taxes $10.8-million for a five-year
period on other projects.
If Idaho Power received the same
tax writeoff subsidies as they re-
ceived on previous hydro-electric
projects on the Snake River, they
would receive more than S30-million
in tax subsidies for the Hells Canyon
project over five-year period.
