Ist, thirty-two years ago, the Kaiser started his legions marching to be- gin the First World War which finally engulfed the! United States. \We were woefully unpre- pared for the conflict that we entered but, thanks to Allied nations, which had been fighting the'’fee for nearly three years, we ‘than- aged to get the necessary equipment and American soldiers, under Gen. John J. Pershing, .made to. the boc that. Americans could fight. * _ After*the’ close of the struggle the United States, together with Great Britain! and France, succumbed to the dangerous delusion that! war would be no more. We} put into effect a disarma- ment program that heavily penalized the victorious na- tions ‘but had no restrictive | effect upoh former enemy nations or upon Japan. . While the people of the democracies lulled them-} selves to sleep in a delirious dream of pacifism, believing that they were safely en-} sonced behind a non-bellig- erent nationalism, the enem- ies of mankind, under Hue j leadership of dictators, plot- ted to conquer the earth, en- slave free peoples and mas- ter all mankind. Once more, when the great storm broke,‘in 1939 we were inadequately pre- pared for warfare. In fact, up to the very eve of the attack upon Pearl Harbor, and the resulting declara- tions of war against us that issued from Berlin and Rome, we were ill-prepared to defend our own soil from modern attacks. \ {Let us not make the same mistake a second time, now that something like peace exists. Let this nation reso- lutely resolve to turn a deaf ear to selfish nationalism and to improvident pacif- ism. Let us keep armed forces strong enough for any possible task because in pre- paredness there. is security, if. there ig no guarantee of peace. The biggest trouble with most big talkers is that they don’t understand what they are talking about. If they. did, they wouldn’t have so! much to say. Accidents: on our high- ways ‘are increasing which means that traffic regula- tions must be more strictly enforced “than ever ‘before if we are to reduce the sh ber of fatalities. ‘personnel procurement, in- ‘to maintain ALL-VOLUNTEER ARMY | Major General H. N. Gil- bert, assistant to the -ad- jutant general for military forms The Citizen that it is the desire of the War De- partment to build up an all- volunteer army. The next few months, he said, will determine whether or not that aim can be attained. With newspaper, support, and General Gilbert lists The Citizen among the newspa- pers in the Third Army area, it is believed that an army of that type may be recruit- éd, chiefly because of the starting monthly base pay, ranging from $75 to $165. These paragraphs appear in the fact sheet of the army recruiting program: “The Army needs a total of 1,550,000 men during this fiscal year. It is desired that the Army be all volunteers, so tat men brought in by Selective Service may be re- leased. Nearly 900,000 men have joined the new Regu- since lar Army last fall, more men than have ever before voluntarily joined any army at any time, any place in the world. i “By June 30, 1947, it is expected that the Regular Army’s requirement will be reduced to 1,070,000 men, It then will requite from 35,000 to 40,000 men per month, including re-enlist- ments and riew volunteers, the Army at strength. “The recruiting program has two phases: Phase Num- ber_1: to meet the need for jarge numbers of able men. | editorial paragraph: Phase Number 2: to obtain able, alert and highly intel- ligent young men capable of handling scientific equip- ment and material of the new Army of the Atomic Age. “Principal reasons’ for joining the new Regular Army as compared with civ- ilian jobs, especially since the passage of the new pay bill; retirement annuities; security, educational pro- visions of the G. I. Bill of Rights (men enlisting for 3 years on or before October 5, 1946, assure themselves a full 4-year college educa- tion provided they can meet entrance requirements of the college they choose) ; Army trade and technical training facilities; a chance to travel. Recruits may en- list for 142, 2 or 3 years (one year enlistments per- mitted for men now in the Army with six or more months of service); 3-year volunteers may choose theit branch of service or over- seas theater (of those still open). Advertising is the modern way of telling the world what you would want it to know, and the best way is through the printed. word, to which you can refer if you have forgotten it.., In about a year the poli- tical prophets will tell you how the 1948 presidential election will turn out; there is no defense against the breed until after the elec- tion when they will be tell- ing you about’ something else, ROOM FOR ECONOMY While we do not think that the nation should plan a preparedness program on the basis of a need for econ- omy, there can be little argument over figures in re- gard to the spending for na- tional defense. e _ The average cannot understand why the nation needs to spend close to $18,000,000,000 for na- tional defense when it spent less than $1,000,000,000 a year when Germany and Japan were threatening the peace of the world. Obvio- usly, there is an opportunity for economy in connection with the reasonable prepar- ation for warfare. We think that the nation should be thoroughly pre- pared but we are quite will- ing to admit that we cannot understand the necessity for spending eighteen times as much as we did in the years just before war occurred, OF AUGUST 27, 1936 Last of the concerts that have been given on the encampment grounds of the Florida National Guards at Fort Taylor will be held tonight, under the direction of Caesar La Monice, ‘ A memorial service for the vic- tims of the Labor Day, 1935, hur- rieane at Matecumbe, will be held in Bayview Park from 5 to 6 clock on the afternoon of September 6, under the direction of the memorial service commit- tee of the American Legion, of which P.
