War Deponent Aide
Says Nation Awakened
From Dream
_ Columbia, S. C., Dec. 4.?Assistant
Secretary of .War Robert P. Patter
son asserted today tbattbe peopje-cff
the United States had "at last awak
ened from our beautiful dream of
universal disarmament" to face the
"cold, hard reality tha|;the neighbor
hood we are living in -is a tough
^neighborhood . . . where military
weakness is taken by the aggressors
as nothing more than an invitation
to invade, conquer and loot"
| Speaking before the stall raRy of|
the South Carolina-Department of
the Amotnan fcagwn, fttffcwon said
that "scarcely a year ago some of
our people told us that we did not
need military strength, that it was '
enough if we gave tto offense *ndi
they asked us to look ?t Norway,!
defenseless, inoffensive and safe."
"We have looked .at Norway* te
say nothing of Chechoslovakia, Po
land, Denmark. Holland, Belgium
and France, and the* sight tells us
that our freedom, our existence as a,
nation, depends on the strength of
our right arm. And if the worst
should come, let it not be our cities
teat are bombed, our country laid
waste."
