Thinking It 0’
By KAV CAMI’
America has at last become
war-conscious. We have been at
peace so long, we have so little
in common with the professional
war lords, and we are so willing
to live and let live that we have
been reluctant to realize that war
may come to us. whether or no.
The use of daylight savi.-.g time
in many localities entirely unac
customed to it, the curtailing of
I gasoline consumption, the donat
ing of .^crap eluminum,—all may
have less value in themselves than
in arousing the country to a reali
zation of the Imminent danger of
war.

47th Infantry Holds
Ceremony, Review
For Brig. Gen. Patch
the

Fort Bragg.—T'be silver starred
Insignia of a brigadier gener^-l
was pinned on the uniform shoul-
gtraps of newly appointed
Brigadier General Alexander M.
Patch Jr. during a colorful cere
mony and regimental review pre
sented in the general’s honor by
47th Infantry regiment at
.00 o’cock this morning. Briga
dier General Patch had command-
the 47th Infantry since the
regiment’s reactivation last Au
gust. Lt. Colonel E. H. Randle
was in command of the 47th In
fantry troops at this morning s
ceremony.
The regimental adjutant read
the War Department order an
nouncing the appointment of Col
onel Patch to the grade of Briga
dier General. Mrs. Patch then
pinned one of general’s .stars or
her husband’s uniform, and the
other was pinned on by their
daughter. Miss Julia Anne Patch.
Mrs. Patch was, in turn, present
ed with a bouquet of gladiolas by
Mrs. Randle. The 47th Infantry
then passed in review before
Brigadier General Patch to the
music of the 9th Division Artill-
band. Brigadier General,? R.
D. Hoyle and Edwin Harding
were present at the review and
were accompanied by the entire
staff of the 9th Infantry Divis
ion.
The recent release of the new
Federal tax' figures ought to be
an cye-opener. GO'vernment offi-
cipis estimate that before the de
fense spending is over the na
tional debt will have risen to
$90,000,000,000. a figure beyonr
the grasp of the average mind
But it represents a debt of $700
for every man, woman and child
in this country. The estimate is
very probably too low.
As this column pointed out
some time ago, the results of our
defense spending ere being shown
in the steadily increasing sup
plies of war materials going to
England. No loyal American be
grudges a penny spent in nation
al defense.
But what about all these New
Deal expenditures, which were
started years before there was
any thought of war? There have
been some half-hearted attempts
to cut down on some of these non
defense programs but on the
showdown such efforts have al
ways been blocked. The brakes
have got to be set or this country
will skid horribly into a ruinous
repudiation of its national debt,
or worse.
Selfish interests will continue
to fight any move to curtail such
expenditures. But if this country
is to be spared eventual econom'c
disaster (his nonc.^sential spend-
ing must be curbed. The pressure
groups must be stopped dead in
their tracks.
The patriotic citizens of Amer
ica through their representrtives
in Congress can do thU thing
they choooe. IVhen they speak
Congress listens.
