Less Bragging And
More Punch Needed
In Prosecuting War
Tise current issue of Lift magazine
paints a tirim picture of the United
Nations in this war. Several articles
and a battery of illustrations drive
home truths that our patriotic fervor
and piide make unpalatable. It is
not the first time that Americans
have been up against a hard job.
We have always managed to win.
: Twenty odd years ago we took on a
then triumphant Germany and
within a few months after Gen.
Pershing landed his army in Prance,
he had the enemy reeling and grog
sy. Tile Armistice soon followed.
Today we ha.ve the same unbound -
| ed faith and confidence in the final
outcome, but the hurdles are set
higher and infinitely more power

One of she secrete of Herman and]
? ? apan< e sucee..> in Llie war has been
iei- illinen - to take desperate
>?:in:;en ? ar?u they "nave usually
)tt? n away with it. Our people an
..o less brave, no les> intrepid, but
? have practiced caution rather
uin daring. We have practiced a
defense" psychology instead of
linking in terms of offense. It was
only recently that the change was
mad*' by the Government from "de
li nse bonds and stamps" to "war
bonds aiul stamps."
Doubtless the United States and
Great Britain are working toward
constructive ends, but meanwhile
valuable time is slipping away. The
Axis is pressing iUs advantage home
in such a manner that Russia and
China may be forced out of the con
flict before we are ready to act.
We are told that America will
have an army of 5.00U.OOO men by
the end of this year. However, says
Life, it is modest compared with
enemy forces. Out of our new army
we can create 80 or 90 combat di
visions. "But the Germans have
300 combat divisions, the Japanese
at least a hundred, the Italians
about 65, and other Axis powers
about 60. Thus there are more than
500 divisions in the field against us.
The British have about 50 divisions,
including all Dominion troops and
colonials. The Chinese have a vast
manpower but are not effectively
equipped. The Russian army is al
most as big as Hitler's, but even this
is not enough to stop the Germans,
let alone roll them back. The best
we can hope for by the end of 1942
is the fifth largest army in the world
including the Chinese. If the Rus
sians crack we shall be effectively
outnumbered two or three to one."
Continuning Life comments: Tens
of thousands of our boys must lose
their lives merely because our ar
tillery is not diversified enough, the
shields of our antitank guns not big
enough, our strategy not mature
i nough. We will throw life and for
tune away merely to catch up. mere
ly to get in the war on an equal
footing. That is the price we must
pay for over-indulgence in peace.
No man is competent u> say when
the war will end ? by a miracle in
1943, or by slogging until 1953. But
this we know: If we fight as if it
were going to end In 1943, we can
not possibly. We must fight farth
er ahead than we can see. with more
than we think we've got. If we
really mean to win this war. noth
ing can ever be "enough".

Mould be foretsallcd by admitting
iii younger nun to Legion member
ship. These are the main arguments
ill favor of the proposition.
Now as to reasons why such a
:ep might not be advisable. Tne
average age of the Lesion members
is 49. while that of men now in the
ranks will rim about 28 or 29 years.
It is claimed that these groups might
have conflicting objectives. The new
men might not want to be absorbed
by an older organization, but might
prefer to run their own group. As
new veterans will outnumber Legion
members, a sharp split might occur
in the new veteran groups after the
war. It will mean the crowding out
and lessening of emphesis on World
War I with disastrous results. Some
Legionnaires will resent turning
over a share in their hard-earned
assets to the younger men to spend.
It Is pointed out that this is an all
out war and that if the struggle
lasts ten years practically everyone
will become involved in it. It Is felt
that all efforts in securing jobs
