PATTON URGED
f 1
TO KEEP
NATION STRONG
(Views of the late General .George S.
Patton on universal military training
and preparedness are set forth in the,
following article, taken from The
Atlantic Monthly, which has publish
ed a series of Patton’s war letters
and concluded with his notes on re
marks to be’ made to divisions, ex
cerpts of which follow.)
Now that all or nearly all of you
are returning1 to civil life, I believe
that I should continue to do my best
to instruct you how to sive your
lives and the lives of your children.
1 realize that in doing this I shall be
criticized, but my conscience will be
much clearer in the knowledge that I
have done my duty as I see it, and
have evoked criticism, than it would
be if I avoided criticism and left my
duty! unperformed.
It is certain that the two World
Wars in which I have participated
would not have occurred had we been
prepared. It is my belief that ade
quate preparation oh our part would
have prevented or materially short
ened all our other wars beginning
with that of 1812. Yet, after each of
our wars, there has always been a
great hue and cry to the effect that
there will be no more wars; that dis
armament is the sure road to health,
happiness and peace;, and that by re
moving the fire' department, we will
remove fires. These ideas spring
from wishful thinking and from the
erroneous belief that wars result
from logical processes. Here is no
logic in wars. They are produced by
madmen. No one can say when future
* madmen will reappear. I do not say
that there will be no more wars; I
devoutly hope that there will not, but
I do say that the chances of avoiding
future wars will be greatly enhanced
if we are ready.
At school, the big strong boy sel
dom gets in trouble. His companions
know his capacity, and he respects
their weakness. A prepared America
is a big strong boy; but a big or little
boy who is not physically strong, and
particularly one who indulges in un
• solicited advice, gets into many
fights until at last he. is so badly
mauled that-he loses his manhood.
Remember this, and remember furth
er that preparedness must be both
physical, mental, and spiritual. If we
have, as we could have, the greatest
Army, Navy, and Air Force in the
world, and yet are not mentally and
spiritually prepared to do.our duty as
men, our efforts will be only partial
ly successful. Many of you know by
personal experience how difficult it
was to adjust ■ ^ourselves to the
brutal realities of battle after a life
time of being told that there would
be no more wars. If we produce an
other generation similarly indoc
trinated, we 'may not be able to win
battles.
Twice* in my lifetime, America, the
Arsenal of Democracy, has come
from behind to ensure victory. Is it
not evident that should another war
arise, those producing it *will make
every effort to see that the Arsenal
of Democracy is knocked out in the
first round? How this can be done,
I do not khow, but I do know that
the progress made in airplanes and
self-propelled missiles is such that
the possibility of an early knockout
cannot be (discounted.
Perhaps good illustration of
what I am trying to put across to
you is this: when I went to school,
o-n/1 T riwumma {4- m aama Ttrtxtr oil
the children were taught how to'
form in column and' march out of the
building in an orderly manner in case
of fire. This instruction did not, so
far as I know, produce fires, but
when fires occurred, the lives of the
majoity of. the children were saved.
You men are all American citizens,
and in your generation you will have
f very large voice in determining the
election of our public servants and
the enforcement of our laws. I am
sure that, you have found out that
discipline, self-reliance, hnd mutual
respect and faith are necessary in the
Army. These traits are just as ne
cessary in civil life. Laws .which are
Referring again to the fire depart
ment1 aspect of the prevention of'
wr, a very large proportion of the
duties of the fire department in large
cities is not the extinguishing Of
fire?,' but their prevention through
•driee and supervision'. You men are
all potential firemen. You have put
your h<?me efforts,
duty as citizens to
fires do not occur, and
children are not a
to extinguish them.

Approached twice recently by high
ranking officers of the North Caro
lina National Guard who apparently
are anxious to organize a unit in
Farmville, Mayor James W. Joyner
states that he h^s - made arrange
ments for Cqlonel Claude Bowers of
Raleigh and Warren ton to meet with
the Board of Commissiners on Tues
day, February 3, and explain tully
what will be required of the town in
order to establish a unit here.
It is quite likely that Colonel Bow
ers will lie a visitor at the Rotary '
club on the same evening he meets
with the executive board.
Mayor Joyner says he has been in
formed the National Guard is now
ready to spend ?600 yearly in Farm
ville for rental and storage space Q4
til an armory can be constructed.
This rental'will be ta addition to the
pay of the men who make up the
organization. •
Minimum complement of a unit is
three officers and 30 enlisted men;
180 is the ■ maximum. Representa
tives of the Guard are quoted as hav
ing told the mayor that if the, full
complement is reached the * payroll
will amount to approximately $36,000
annually. • , • , .
Some of the veterans in. and a- .
round Farmville are known to be in
terested in the Organization and a
few of them' Anmllul in.
<*reenville. As a general < rule, the
men train one evening a week dfid
are allowed a day's pay, according to
their rating, for tills training period.
An encampment of two weeks during
the summer is also part of the .train
ing, for which pay is allowed.
Although the* issue has not been
studied closely here, municipal autho-,
rities state they ftave been informed
the Federal government will pay
thrdfe-fourths of the construction
costs of an armory when building ma
terials ‘become plentiful again and ,
Congress gives the building program
a green light. *
Advocates of Universal military
training, who feel certain Congress
will make military training coMpul- \
sory within the next two years—the
question may be too hot to handle,'
politically, this* election year—ate op
timistic over chances of young men
getting their required training in the
National Guard rather than having
to serve the required time in the
regular Army, away from home. The ^
construction of an armory and the es- „
tablishmeint of a guard here—if the
military training program pans, out
as prophesied—would make it; possi
ble for local youths to get at least a
part of their trailing a* home.
Bernard Baruch Has
Plan To Curb Inflation
In testifying to the Senate Fbreign
Relations Committee on the necessi
ty for the United States to under
take the Marshall Plan abroad, Ber
nard M. Baruch also, stressed. the
equal and dovetailing necessity of
controlling inflation at home. His
recommendations on this point fol
low: -
Reduction of major food and agri
cultural prices in exchange for guar
anteeing farmers an assured price for
their crops for the next three yeare,
with ample soil conservation. "
In return for this roll-back, stabi
lization of wages. ’ , *
Restoration of the excess profits
tax by 50 per cent of the cut from
war.levels, with wartime amortiza
tion for new plants.
Continued rent controls, with pro- ’
vision only for dearly justifiable in
creases.. ... .s.
Postpone tax reduction for two
years, -after which a five-year order
ly reduction of personal and corpo
rate taxes combined with the syste
matic, substantial lowering of the
national debt which is a terrific
threat to our security.
Put off all less essential works, in
cluding Federal, state, and municipal
projects, giving* priority to increas
ing production, schools, , hospitals,
and other more essential needs. V
Set up a capital-issues committee,
with advisory powers, under the Sec
retary of the Treasury, to review all
capital issues, public and private,
with a View to deferring less essen
tial projects. The governors of each
state should appoint committees to
pass on all proposed* projects at lb*
cal level before going to
committee..
Congress to set
scrutinize all Federal
penditures to determine which are
postponeabie, also where government
spending can be* cut and whether it
is being done most
