President Calls
For Billions To
Push War Eiiorl
(Continued from page one)
The idea is to speed and increasi
the output of vital material'
products and services for de
fense.
Mr. Truman closed his messag'
on a confident note:
"We will follow the course wi
have chosen with courage am
frith faith, because we carry ii
Our hearts the flame of freedom
We are fighting for liberty am
for peace—and with Clod's bless
ing we shall succeed."
There was no optimistic pre
fiction, though, fdr a quick vie
tory in Korea. The course of th
fighting there, the President re
ported, shows no easy solutioi
can be expected. He said we ar
facing, well-supplied, well-le
forces which have been Ion
trained for aggression. He added
"We must also prepare our
selves better to fulfill our respon
sijbilities toward the preservatioi
o| international peace and seeuri
tf against possible further aggi es
sion. In this effort, we will no
flinch in the face of danger o
difficulty.
jj“The free world has made i
clear, through the United Nation:
tpat lawless aggression will b
rid with force. This is the sig
rhficance of Korea—and it is
significance whose important
cannot be over-estimated."
With the whole internations
picture clouded,' Mr. Trumu
made clear that America is begir
ping to mobilize once more nc
oiily for the Korean war, but ft
ally emergency elsewhere.
1 He reiterated his assurance
tjjat America wants no territor
pf domination over lands or pe<
jjfees—that “we seek a worl
Where nil men may live in peat
aod freedom.”
|| The president saiei he woul
hiit try to predict the cours
* events yet he said he is sur
iniil those who hold power t
unleash or withhold armed ai
gression must realize that moi
aggression in the world migl
strain the fabric of peace to th
breaking point.
He said it is clear that the fre
nations must step up their con
mon security program.
Like ourselves, he said, oi
I Allies will have to turn to more!
economic resources to defense. |
| But in addition, he said, they \
I will need more help from us.
And. he said, “certain other
| free nations” whose security is
vital ti) our own may require
assistance. He didn’t name those
other nations.
■ As soon as it can be determined
, what each country will need to
do, Mr. Truman said, he will lay
before Congress a request for the
i j necessary* money.
Some Presidential advisers
■ were said-to be urging an addi
! , tionef $5,0t)0,(j|tt0,000 for the, arm
i | ing of Western Europe. > :

; passage in Congress.
Mr. Truitian said increased
strength is needed in three gon
? eral categories:
-1 First, to * meet conditions in
1 Korea, additional men, equip- 1
;' ment and supplies must be sent
I “as rapidly as possible” to the
’ forces of Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
Second, the world situation re
- quires a substantial increase in
- the size and material support of
i American armed forces, beyond
- the increases required in Korea.
Third, is the extra help for our
II Allies.
r Reviewing the history of the
\ Korean crisis;-Mr. Truman said re
t j ports from the United Nations
. Commission on Korea “make it
unmistakably clear that the at
' tack was naked, deliberate, unpro
a voked aggression, without a shad
L‘ ow of justification.”
i “The attitude of tire Soviet gov
* eminent toward the aggression
1 against the Republic of Korea,"
the President said, "is in direct
1 contradiction to its often express
I ?d intention to work with other
nations to achieve peace in the
s , , , „
world.
' Of the American armed forces,
II their commander irt chief said
they have fought with great valor
to meet the threat to peace.
While Mr. Truman held out no
e immediate hope that they can
e start heading back up the Korean
0 peninsula, he said this country is
moving as fast us possible to send
e in larger forces and heavier equip
,t ment and to increase its naval and
t, air superiority over the Commu
nist invaders.
t> It will take time—he didn’t say
. how much-—to slow down the
forces of aggressian. stop them
r and throw them back, Mr. Tru
man cautioned. He said:
“The Army troops have been
conducting a vpry difficult delay
ing operaiion with skill and deter
mination, outnumbered many
times over hv attacking troops,
spearheaded bv tanks. Despite
the bad weather of the rainy sea
son, our troops have been valiant
ly supported by the air and naval
forces of both the United States
and other members of the United
Natiops."
Terming it important that the
nature of the military action in
Korea'be understood. Mr. Truman
said it was undertaken “as a mat
ter of basic moral principle." He
went, on:,
'The United States .was going to
the aid of a nation established and
supported by. She United Nations
and unjustifiably attacked by an
aggressor force. Consequently, we
were not deterred.by the relative
immediate superiority of the at
tacking forces, by the fact that our
base of supplies was 5,000 miles
away, or by the further fact that
we would have to supply our
forces through port facilities that
are far from satisfactory."
American help, Mr. Truman
said," kept the invaders from
crushing the Korean republic in a
few days as they evidently had
expected to do.
Reviewing his earlier actions
in the Korean crisis, the President
said it was to meet the possibility
of aggression elsewhere that he
ordered strengthening of Ameri
can forces in the Philippines and
the speeding of military aid to the
Philippine government and to
Southeast Asia.
It ‘was for the same reason, he
said, that he ordered the United
States Seventh Fleet to prevent
any attack on Formosa and asked
; the Chinese government holding
j out on the Pacific island to stop
| all air and sea operations against
the mainland.
Nowhere did Mr. Truman di
1 rectly accuse Russia of fanning
the fires of aggression in Korea
But he recited the record of Soviet
refusal to support the United Na
tions or even attend meetings at
which the Security Council step
ped into the Korean crisis.
Mr. Truman said the Security
Council's united and resolute ac
tion to put down lawless aggres
sion is a milestone toward the es
tablishment of a rule of law
among nations.”

Limit The Use Of
Wonder Drugs
Hitching animal health to the
I “wonder drug wagon could cost
! America her supremacy in live
stock production, a leader of the
nation’s veterinary medical pro
fession has warned.
"Unqualified claims for some of
the sulfonamides and antibiotic
drugs have misled many farmers
into thinking they can abandon
timetested disease control mea
sures once they get their hands
on these products,” said Dr. W M.
Coffee, president-elect of the
American Veterinary Medical As
! soeiation.
| In a statement released by
AVMA headquarters in Chicago,
| dury to good management in all
tinned, "have failed to support the
I common action to restore the
peace. The most important of
- these is the Soviet Union."
5r. Coffee urged livestock far- i
tiers to regard drugs as secon
“fforts to get rid of animal di
;eases.
He also urged drug manufar
urers to direct their efforts to
he maximum benefit of the live
;tock industry -not just to the
sale of medicines and vaccines
Some manufacturers and deal
ers have divorced themselves
completely from the sound prin
ciples of livestock conservation to
which the vetesinarv medical
Drofession is dedicated, ‘he AVMA
official declared.
Such indiscriminate promoters
of drug cures are in some cases
as dangerous to the livestock in
dustry as disease itself. Dr Coffee
added.
He said there is greater need
than ever for stock owners to
work closely with veterinarians
in mapping programs for the pre
vention of disease in herds and
flocks
