Out of hundreds of thousands of men four have been executed for murder, twelve for rape. We were recently told that a few soldiers had diverted military gasoline into the | black market. Many have doubtless overstayed their 1 infrequent leaves. Some have doubtless drunk more than was good for them. The majority may occasion- | ally use language not suited for mixed company. But where they have faced the enemy they have been good | soldiers. p We may have to revise that conception of history which throws the greatest virtues into the past. Am- ! erican soldiers deserted in great numbers during the Revelution. They several times ran away in senseless panic during the War of 1812. On both sides during the Civil War desertion ‘was a major problem. Has the stock improved since then? Certainly. it has been enriched by a variety of racial strains.

Stettinius replied soothingly, and trted to convince the Senators they were unduly worried.
