The new emphasis on youth and merit instead of seniority and tradition should not be carried too far. The Army has a wealth of older officers who are competent and up-to-date .in outlook and whose ex- perience is of great value. No wholesale “purge” is contemplated and, of course, should not be.

Hitler probably will continue at every opportunity to swear he has no thought of ever moving against us. We, like all his other enemies, would find out he had changed his mind only after a well-planned campaign against our shores was actually under way. Russia’s present plight holds another eleguent moral for the United States. Kremlin leaders, like the leaders of America, knew that Nazi Germany was their great enemy. They chose benevolent neu- trality, passing up the chance to use their great strength while they had numerous allies. They then found that appeasement does not work, that the Nazi war machine was turned on them at its first leisure moment, It is a fresh illustration of the all-important fact that Germany's greatest strength lies in the dis- union of the peoples who oppose her. There is no longer any logical excuse for Ameri- can isolationists to foster such disunion among the American people.
