Preparing For World War iii, If 1t Should Come

would be strictly rationed and
very few autos would be seen. In
short, we might be obliged to live
under a form of communism, or
certainly live about as the first
settlers of New England and Vir-
ginia lived $50 years ago. Consult
a lawyer to make your will of more
use in case of World War III. Have
your insurance policies amended
to give your family more protection
Keep these papers in the vault OF
some small country bank.
What About Civil Defense?
This question will be asked by
most readers, who will wonder why
these suggestions and warnings are
not now issued by the Civil Defense
authorities at Washington l may
be wrong, but my belief is that
these officials fear they would be
unmercifully prosecuted by manu-
factureps, merchants, and labor
leaders if they did so broadcast. 1t
would be feared that consumers
would so change their buying habits
as to bring on bankruptcies, mort
gage foreclosures and unemploy-
ment. AS I have often said, con-
sumers' attitudes are basic cause
of business conditions and deter
minant of the employment situation.
Read tonight the advertisements in
your favorite magazines or listen
to your radio or TV. Ask yourself
how many of these advertised would
be bought if consumers really fear
ed that one Russian missile might
Unexpectedly be dropped on some
large U. S. city very soon.
With all the brains, money, and
newspaper space given to missiles,
sputniks, and "fiopniks", it seems
cruel and wrong not to warn our
17O,00O,0O0 people of what MAY be
ahead. Certainly such warnings
should be an important work on
our Department of Defense and re-
ceive as much attention as military
tests are receiving. Either both are
important, or neither. At least our
Civil Defense should spend millions
now on paid advertising to urge
people to build up the health and
character of their families pend
ing such an unexpected attack. This
could be far more important thar
accumulating more stocks, bonds
bank accounts, or luxuries.
Milford chronicle., 1958-03-21

Babson Park, Mass, March 20
With all this talk about defense
missiles and preparation for war,
l have been wondering if | should
not have little "stockpile" for my
self and my family? l am writing
this on the basis OF my personal
experiences during World Wars
and H. In fact, during World War
| /, / was in Washington as Assis-
tant Secretary of Labor to Presi-
dent Wilson and owned house
next door to the Russian Embassy.
World War iii Can Come As A
Surprise
Let us remember that no bomb
was dropped on North America dur
ing either of the two world wars.
The first atomic bomb was prac-
tically the last bomb dropped dur
ing World War II; but some sur
prise will take the place of Pearl
Harbor".
In the event of World War III,
conditions will be vastly different
in the United States. Your radio
will announce, some morning, that
one or more large q. S. cities were
completely destroyed during the
night, and that millions of our
citizens were killed. This is the
first warning we will get. With so
much space given to discussing
missiles and Russia, should they
not tell those of us who might sur
vive what we should do? Let me
state what l personally would do if
still alive.
Think First OF Family And
Employees
My. first thought would be as
to what had happened to my chill
dren, grandchildren, and friends
throughout the country. I surely
would likewise seek knowledge of
what had happened to my business
and it's employees, including clients,
and to the newspapers carrying
this column. My few investments
would be forgotten that fatal morn
ing.
Therefore, l beg readers-before
deciding the following is fantastic
to ponder what they personally
would do on receipt of such news.
The first change in my personal
mode of life would be to give up
shaving; and instead, to grow a
beardi l next would begin to con-
serve soap; l would fill all pals
Milford chronicle., 1958-03-21

and bathtubs with drinking water !;
and | would shut all windows to
protect against fall OUT. l would
Immediately try to collect old
clothes, overcoats, and "long draw
ers" discarded years agol, and
everything else which could keep
us, warm. The supply of coal, oil,
gas, or even wood for the fireplace
would soon come to an end.
What About FOOds
The great problem would be gett-
ing food with which to keep alive.
Fortunate will be those who then
live on or near farms. The city food
stores and supermarkets would be
cleaned out the first day; rationing
of the most primitive food would
begin as soon as possible. Rich and
poor would be treated absolutely
alike. Stealing and boarding would
be severely punished.
We all would be allowed only
the very simplest of foods, with
little if any meat, sugar, tea, coffee,
and perhaps milk No liquor would
be available. OuS diet would be con-
fined to food prepared from the
great stockpiless of corn, wheat and
other products which the govern
ment now has You ask: Cannot
each family avoid this by stocking
up now on food products. My re-
ply is, Perhaps; but l personally
remember trying to be 'foresighted'
before World War 1 by purchasing
an extra set of auto tires and stor-
ing them in my attic Officers,
however, took them from me, with
out in any way paying me.
What About Money?
Banks would be closed Farmers
would not long accept paper money.
They would want either silver cur
rency or silver spoons! Anticipat-
ing this time, some of my friends
are now storing silver dollars and
depositing many dozens of silver
spoons in safe-deposit boxes in
small town banks Many who lived
abroad in those days as civilians
know from experience what happen
ed to the banks and currencies of
our allies during World Wars l and
II.
But listen to this question; Will
these people be given access to
these safe-deposit boxes without a
boarding officer" accompanying
them? I doubt it. Also, gasoline

The preservation of Delaware S

aware of the necessary cost in

standards, representing many years
of achievement through effort. and
expressed confidence in the judg-

Here was another bustling group
