It is the "blood of men thrown Into a battle for which they were not prepared, without the weapons they tippHmI." And "wlat is time?" continues the.b1een termed the New York editor. It 1s "help coming aeiu- from far away; the willing support of inore than two score nations." 4 Is this all T The answer, unfortu- job in the Pacific cannot be handled by principles of mutual defense but must be the risk of a "military force in being,- backed by" the productivity of this great industrial nation. This means, in short, that the United States must exert its power throughout the Pacific and replace the British Empire as it takes up What has formerly Wnite Man's bur- nately, is in the negative.

The handful of fighting men, now being mauled by an overwhelming , North Korean force, will pay dearly in lives for the mistakes of their (Re public. They have suddenly been thrown into the tempest of war, un der circumstances which make it im possible to do more than fight a de- , laying battle. This type of warfare tries the nerves and tests the morale of seasoned veterans, much less the untried soldiers which have been sent into Korea from Japan. ! The men who fight, get wounded and die in South Korea will not add any While we are conscious of the na tion's desire to preserve the peace of the world, and to set up conditions that will permit the peoples of the earth to develop themselves, we must not expect praise or appreciation from the so-called backward areas. Instead, we will meet criticism and hostilitv. al and, in the course of a very few years, oecome the object of those who for merly assailed the (British as imperia lists, bent upon the plunder of sub ject peoples. As a start in the tactical applica tion of principles Sow followed by this country, the United States might as well be set up, as a permanent force, an expeditionary contingent of suffi cient size to cope with any emenrenev that may. arise. This force should be maintained regardless of how bright tne prospects of world peace mav aD' pear in the minds of statesmen and optimists. This special force should be ready to aet and kept ready to strike, re gardless of the pious professions of peace that emanate from the dictator nations. It . should be something of an international police force, even if it acts only under the auspices of the United Nations or some international agreement, and it could accept what ever assistance other free nations recently, naming transport ships from San Diego, carrying men of the First Marine Division and including . the number of destroyers and other ships accompanying the flotilla, leads to a demand in Washington that some form of voluntary censorship he put Into effect Senator Scott W. Lucas, of Illinois, says that the President should request a voluntary censorship He notes that news items "tell where our ships are going, what the outfit is, the total number of troops, their eauipment. when they are to sail and the port of their destination." He does not understand this type' of news and shudders to think what might happen "through a submarine attack." There is another aspect to the pub lication of such items. When details are given, they enable the enemy in Korea to prepare to meet the force en route. It is also quite possible that the Russians, if they decide to get into the conflict, can openly re inforce the North Koreans, or, if they decide to do so secretly, can dis patch 'sufficient assistance to the North Koreans to enable them to meet the reinforcement of American soldiers. .. 1951 Tourist Map Being Distributed The State Highway Commission is distributing first copies of its 1951 five-color tourist map of jNorth Caro lina. The map contains all highway changes contemplated through the end of the 1950 paving 'season along wHE other important highway Information about North Carolina. The informa tion Division of the State Department of Conservation and Development pro vided a handsome layout of vacation photographs on the reverse side of the nap as well as other tourist information. . The map contains an index to cities and towns and points of interest, a small black-and-white mileage map, and information baout state-operated and private ferries in North Carolina.

Nevertheless, the burden nation but their sacrifice will not be of the battle -will fall upon the Sons in vain if it persuades the people of .of the United States and the cost of the United States to adopt a sensible, balanced, military policy. They suffer today because of the hysteria , that swept this country in 1946, when practically everybody on the domestic front ' demanded that jthe boys be brought home' at once. The same popular opinion forced the rapid de mobilization of our fighting men. While the nation proclaimed its sup port of the United Nations and its de termination to fight Soviet aggression and talked glibly of winning the next struggle wiu JwTOCM)!i(ue8 and in ventions, there1 was Jbo logical expan sion, and training 'of any adequate force of ground troops. Today, in the face of possible emergencies in other areas of the world, the United States is not in a position to effectively op pose any vigorous thrust of the Soviet Union. We are not ready to Imple ment our loudly-proclaimed principle of containing Communism by aiding free nations when attacked. If there is general approval of our ' intervention in the Korean struggle, ' and a similiar Intervention in other cases of 'Soviet aggression that may occur, it behooves the United States to prepare itself for battle. We must not only be ready to talk about sup ' porting the free peoples of the world, but must have the military power to oppose the strength of the aggressors. If this requires the maintenance of a striking force of a quarter or a half million soldiers at all tames, then this nation should not neglect, the require ment For many years, 'the British Empire maintained contingents of British troops around the world. There was no United Nations to police the earth and the British, because of their trad na nnd territorial interests, took on the iob of an International police force Today, in the: present plight of the world, there is ne force to act for the scause of human freedom and there will be no effective police force unless the United States is willing to pro- The task of preventing aggression of the type now being witnessed'in South Korea srequires more than the presence of small army in the Unt ' ted States.
