The committee, unlike a similiar one several years ago, comes up with the conclusion that more respect and discipline are needed, not de-emphasis of distinction be- cause of rank. In other words, the committee has decided that a policy terminating distinctions between officers and men and softening life for enlisted men in several ways is not conducive to good morale. What is needed, according to the report, is more respect and discipline between the various ranks and more stress on good physical condition and less on can- teen and social life cf GI Joe. If wars have taught only one lesson, they have taught that armies and navies, and air forces, must be disciplined to win battles and campaigns. The greatest asset of German armies in two world wars was their dis- cipline and training. The United States, for the first time in its history, now finds itself faced by a foe greatly superior in numbers and equipment, apparently arming with the one aim of eventually crushing the United States. In such a circumstance, we are inclined to agree with the latest committee report on morale in the armed services. Proper respect between the ranks will improve the effi- - Clency of the military services, not lower it. . P ‘Lee Shubert, ¢— Dies InN. Y.
