The British White Paper
published April 81 announc-
ing drastic reductions in de-
Tense spending has chiefly at
tracted attention here be-
cause of the added defense
burden 1t puts upon the United
States at a time when the
public is revolving against the
size of the present budget.
But the White Paper takes
a very sober view Of the whole
world situation in respect to
war and the theory Of deter
renee.
1T must be frankly recog-
nized that there is at present
no means Of providing ade-
quate protection for this coun-
try against the consequences
of attacRsby nuclear weapons.
;. This makes it more than
ever cleaf that the overriding
consideration must be to
prevent war rather than pre-
pare for it. The only
existing safeguard against any
major aggression is the power
to threaten retaliation with
the same weapons"
Reservation Expressed
But q reservation is ex-
pressed also regarding such
retaliation. It occurs in a
paragraph on sea power. 1.-THE
role Of naval forces in total
war Is somewhat uncertain. It
may well be that the initial
bombardment or counter
bombardment by aircraft or
rockets would be so Gripping
as to bring the war to an end
within a few weeks or even
days"
1t seems to me that the i'm
portant words here are Gin

herein lies the dilemma that
aff1icts all policy. Nuclear
bombardment weapons. rem
dered even more swift and
deadly by automatically guild
ed rockets. give every advan-
tage to the aggressor. An in
itial attack could indeed be so
Gripping as to bring the war
to an end in a few days. Di-
rected against a target of such
limited area as the British
Isles. it could conceivably

Arlington Schools

You recently printed a letter
from George B. Wood, rela-
tive to the Arlington school
situation. Mr.. Wood was. If
he is not still. the treasurer
OF the ABC political group. He
is certainly one of those who
belong 20 the many inter-
locking groups in the county,
which have for their officers
and committee chairmen the
same people. The letter sug-
gested that the Opposition
has consistently adopted po-
lltical chicanery to prevent
every step Of progress made.
AS a result. 1t has been far
more costly" This indicates
that the opposition" had
nothing at all to do with the
Improvement of the schools.
This is utterly ridiculous.
Many Of the longtime resi-
dents of the county have made
a substantial contribution to
progress in the county. 1t is a
question in the minds of many
II our schools have pioneered
new and improved methods in
scientific courses !" It Is
these new experiments with
progressive education which
have many people wondering.
These experiments all cost
money and at the cost OF basic
learning. In the last election
Mr.. Woods group argued that
election for the county board
was really an election for bet
ter schools" Included in the
issues was the "Freeholders"
referendum. which the ABCers
said would wreck the school
system. II passed. But the

Britoin's Arms Cutbuck

"Ye shall reap what We SOW"
is a Biblical saying peculiarly
appropriate to recent interna-
tional events.
Britain announced that her
armed forces will be cut in
half in the next five years
(from 800, 900 to 375, 00O); that
her forces in Germany will be
reduced from 1900 to $4,000
(by 1852; that her forces will
be withdrawn from Korea and
Jordan; that her production of
jet fighters and conventional
long-range bombers will be
curtailed; and. finally, that
Britain would be indefensible
in case Of full-scale nuclear
war.
From the Pentagon come
outcries that Britain is de
featist"-that she is not bear
ing her full share Of the effort
Of collective security" etc.
There is some fear that the
United States will have to as
sumo the load which Britain
has dropped.
But we have no one to blame
but ourselves. If the United
States had supported Britain's
invasion Of Egypt; If we had at
least turned away indifferently,
rather than ranging ourselves,
morally. alongside the "hapless
victims of aggression" (the
Egyptians; If we had permit
ted the British French Israeli
action to result in q secured
tripartite control of the Suez
Canal. perhaps today Britain
would not be so economically
bankrupt that she cannot sup
port her share Of the common
defense.
We cannot censure the Brit
ish and threaten economic
sanctions whenever they un-
dertake limited military &C
ton to secure an objective
which they deem necessary to
their political and military
system, and. on the other
hand. expect them to main
tain that system as it has his
torically been maintained by
the judicious use Of force and
trade.
AS the British are going to
reduce their fighting forces,
our only recourse is to increase
ours. This does not mean in
crease our Air Force alone. To
rely on long range atomic re-
taliation as an absolute deter
rent to Communist aggression
Is one Of the prevailing fall
lacies Of our military planners.
BY denuding ourselves Of all
arms except long range nu-
clear weapons we put ourselves
in a position where we cannot
defend our friends and allies.
