MEXICO PROVES A FRIEND - In the rush of more important events, the people of the United States have, to some extent, overlooked the action of Mexico and other Central American countries in coming to the support of this country in the present world crisis. It is interesting to observe that Mexico recently severed diplomatic relations with Rumania, Bulgaria and Hungary and that the Foreign Ministry,, in its announcement, said that the action was taken because these countries had declared war on the United States. Not many years ago it waa the common belief afnong many responsible officials of this country that, in the event of war, Japan would promptly establish bases on the west coast of Mexico and it was believed possible that the Mexicans might passively permit such action against the United States. This opinion flourished during the strained diplomatic relations which existed between the United States and Mexico 5 bat today, thanks to an enlightened policy of forebears nee, the United States is happy to be able to count Mexico among its good friends and to rely upon the Mexicans to assist in the necessary steps to protect Mexico territory from being used by the enemies of the United States. RUBBER RESTRICTIONS J HURT MANY While the United States has acquired a stockpile of ends robber to mast bask war needs for more than year, there is not enough for vanstricted civilian consumption. Meanwhile, the Japanese have apparently gained control of certain Malayan areas on which American-owned The U.S. Army Must Be Enlarged To 7,500,000 —But M anpower Is No Problem Now By Hugo S» Sims Officials in Washington realise that tiie war that hat been forced upon us is going to be a long war. They know that the United States most organize and train a large fighting force if our defense program is to be changed into a victory program. Nevertheless, at the present time the Army is not prepared to train additional millions to fight for their country. Facilities to handle men most be expanded, and only time will reveal how fast this can be dome. In the next few weeks the Army will seqk about 400,000 new recruits from the ranks of the Selective Service System, and the Navy will, request about 60,000 selectees as their first draw on draftees. This expansion gap can be filled by selectees in the already registered group from 21 to 28. This will bring the United States Army up to two million;" another million soldiers can be drawn from the ranks of the already registered group of selectees between the ages of 28 and 36. In other words, there is no manpower shortage in tfie United States in the immediate future. -Hi? Plans For Long W*r However, the war in which we are now involved will not aid any time soon, and the concensus of opinion among the nation's leaders is that the entire manpower of the nation must be mobilized to assure our country of complete victory. Before victory ia achieved this nation will probably have an army of at least 7,600,000 and an army air force about onethird as large. To find these additional millions (about six) is the purpose of a bill calling for the registration of all men between the ages of 18 and 66. But the government will .not use the older men in the military service. It should be remembered that the army found that men under 28 were much better soldiers than those in the 28 to 36 bracket If this were true, it would be true in a much greater degree of those older than 36. Not only will selectees above 36 be inferior soldiers but a larger percentage of than will be physically unfit The truth is that less than a million soldiers can be drawn from the group of citizens 36 and over. Manpower Shortage In summing up, the Army can be raised to 2 million by taking selectees in the 21 to 28 group; to less than 3 million by taking, in addition, tin selectees in the 28 to 86 group; and to less than 4 million by taking men over 36. This does not include recruiting personnel for the Navy, the Marine Corps, or the Army Air Force. So, consequently, qualifications for the Army must be changed so that an additional group of fighting men may be mobilized to insure ultimate victory. There will be a shortage of about five million men for our fighting forces! One way that the government is tackling the problem is to replace selectees, who have been deferred because their occupations were vital to the nation's defease, by women and old men trained to do their work. About 400,000 men between the ages [ of -Zi to 28 are not available to the fighting- forces of the nation because of the importance of the£r occupy tions. Administration leaders will! attempt to tap this source of man In the 21-28 group over 1,000,000 WALSTONBURG NEWS Mrs. Dora Warrell of near Goldsboro, has returned to her home after miting Mr. Major Jones and other relatives here.
