Defense Is Watchword Defense, in whatever form it may take, is the watchword of the hour.

Less than a month ago President Roosevelt in a public message stated categorically, “the destruction of the Hitler menace is the real end, the inescapable end, of our Foreign Policy.” Wherever the achievement of that end may take us we shall 20. And in dealing with this im- placable and conscienceless enemy, we shall have to face the stark fact that force only is the method and means by which he and his diabolic system and his brutalitar- ianism—yes, I'm coining the word— can be and must be destroyed. Yet while we are now increasingly engaged and preoccupied in physi- cal preparation, there is one other aspect of defending America which should never, never, pass unheeded or neglected. ‘Twenty-one years ago an Ameri- can Legion Commander, Frederick William Galbraith, eloquently ex- pressed that other aspect of defense, that in times like these and in- deed in other times, in times of peace between wars, is apt to be overlooked.
