COMPARING t.S.
akd sovjut f ,y!ciiE3 ,
There, are people in the United
- States who like to assert that this
country ha been baffled and bewild
ered 4t every international conference
and that, a8 a result; our foreign poli
, cy has been blundering and bouncing
from one setback to another.
JThere may be some dement of
train In fee .allegations but at aught
be useful to compare the results that
Tiave attended the foreign policy of
Soviet Russia. At the end of World
' War II, fhe Communiat regime had
wen the admiration of the world for
. jthe fesplute jrtiuggle that ft jw up
against German aggression. By its
last-minute participation in the war
. against Japan, the Russians, it seem
ed, made common cause with the free
and democratic peoples in their effort
to stamp out aggression.
The time was ripe for 'Soviet Russia
to make friends with the West and
to benefit from this : friendship
through a long period of -peaceful
progress. The rulers in the Kremlin
determined to follow- a different
course. They promptly utilized "ag
gressive arid military measures to en
compass the subjugation, of neighbor
ing peoples. They followed a course
deliberately designed to alienate the
West and to isolate Russia from the
other nations of the world. v ;
While the Russians had a natural
advantage for some years due to their
preponderant military strength, the
free nations, under the leadership of
-the United States ,are now rearming
at a rate that the Russians cannot
equal.- In addition, the free nations
are extending the hand of friendship
to the Japanese and German peoples,
and planning to permit a limited re
armament of these defeated countries
in order-to bolster their stand against
the Soviet Union. t .-.
Russia, which has always feared
Japanese and German aggression,;
thus produces a situation in which the
other nations of the earth have no
' choice but to assist in the strength
ing of the two nations which the
Russians consider their natural
'. enemies. ;-:. .-" .
f The Russians can show; as the gains
of their recent diplomacy, some ex-
' tension of Russian territory and hege
mony, but it is doubtful if they can
produce many friends. Their rela
tionship with the progressive and
civilized areas of democratic coun
tries has badly deteriorated. Instead
of the sympathy of the West for its
sufferings and losses during the war,
the Russians have earned he sus
picion of mankind arid kindled a woYMr
wide fear that they plan an aggres
sive campaign to control the earth.
This the free world is resolved "to
contest,' even if it means another
world war, with many nations array
ed against the Soviet Union." '
NATIONAL GUARDSMEN
IN SERVICE
In connection witii its plan to rotate
Overseas personnel, with first priority
to men who fought in Korea last win
ter, the Army has adopted a policy
of calling on National Guard divisions,
after four months in Federal service,
to supply individuals as replacements
for overseas service. 5 :
Already, six National Guard divis
ions are in Federal service, in addi
tion to two regimental combat teams.
Two additional divisions will be called
- into service early next year. Some
time later in 1952, the ninth Guard
division will come in to help the Army
maintain its strength at the 1,600,000
level. vv; ':-: v t,V: ,
Two National Guard divisions are
on occupation duty in Japan, one from
California and one .from Oklahoma,
. Divisions : from Pennsylvania, Con-
' necticut and Rhode Island, Alabama
and Mississippi and Minesota and
North Dakota are in training. The
divisions to go into service next year
will come from Ohio and Illinois The
combat teams, which usually number
jabout 5,000 men, have been called
from South Dakota and Tennessee, '
" We doubt if there is general recog
nition ftrocghout the country of the
part th.'t the National Guard is play
ing in our present military program.
., The probability is that the poll will
be increased next year, because the
'pool of the eighteen-year-olds will be
one of the smallest in history, due to
low- birth rates during the depression
years of the Thirties. - ' ;
GENERAL MARSHALL RETIRES
' The retirement of George Catlett
' Marshall as Secretary of Defense re
moves from; public office a man who
, has served his country for many years
with unusual intelligence and fidelity.'
General Marshall was Chief of
Staff and organized the largest and
most powerful army in our history
. during World War II. He was large-
- ly responsible for its guidance and
played an important role in connection
...with the coordination of the forces
fighting Germany, Italy and Japan.
1 Subsequent .o the war, General
Marshall became Secretary of State,
serving for two veers. His notable
contribution in this field was the de
velopment of a plan for the United
States to buttress Europe against
Communist encroachment by lending
economic assistance. The plan is
popularly known as the Marshall Plan
but its formal title is the European
Recovery Pirram. It has worked
with- $' "ml success, ;--contributing
largely ti t ' e 1 hope of build-
y up r " -d st-f'h in
ijropeJ' -intryfson9
' " its I t v ' 'i re-
Kvg i uom running
roughshod over Europe.
While General Marshall tried to re
tire, being anxious to get out of the
pressure of public affairs, he was
called back into service last year, to
become Secretary of Defense. Once
again, he made a major contribution
to' the stabilization of our vital mili
tary program and, largely because of
public confidence In his integrity and
judgment, our rearmament program,
together with the reorganization of
the armed service, continued to oper
ate on an even keel.
This is the third time that General
Marshall has retired from govern
mental service to seek rest and re
laxation on his farm at Leesburg, Va.
President Truman, in acknowledging
his resignation, declared that "no
man. ever has given his country more
distinguished and patriotic service
than have you." For this, end other
reasons, the General is entitled to his
retirement after a long,- active and;
loyal service in behalf of his country.
AIR FORCE PLANS
TO SUPPORT TROOPS
For many years the strategy of the
Air Force has revolved around inter
continental bombing, with the avowed
purpose of winning a war by destroy
ing the enemy's productive potential
and devastating the back country
upon which the fighting army de
pends. ( v
" Recently, however, particularly in
Korea, renewed emphasis has been
placed upon the use of air power for
tactical purposes, which means the
support , of grounds troops in action
against the foe. This theory wag not
new." During World Warr II .there
were some military men who express
ed the belief that Germany could be
beaten quicker If1 our air power, was
used against the German army in the
field. .; -,- A :
The Air Force seems to be swing
ing a bit in this direction. Secre
tary of the Air Force Thomas K. Fin
letter now talks of direct atomic at
tacks on the enemy's ground forces
to retard his advance and render him
"unable to concentrate his forces de
cisively." This is quite a recession
from the position heretofore taken
by the "big bomber" boys who would
use air strength against enemy cities,
industries communications and will
to resist. .
We are of the poinion that the de
velopment is in line with safe strat
egy but, more important, if it proves
entirely successful, would tend to
eliminate some of the horrors of mod
ern warfare. Despite the necessity,

Following is an important state
ment made by Secretary of . Defense
Robert. Lovett, at ' a September , 25
Press Conference in the Pentagon:
- "Reports have reached us which
indicate there is a misconception in
some, parts of the country regarding
the ,armed forces .blood donor -pro
gram. Some people seem to have
gotten tiie idea there are two pro
gramsone conducted by the Red
Cross, and another conducted by the
Military. Nothing could -be further
from the truth. The Red Cross has
been designated by the Department of
Defense -as the official procurement
agency for the collection of blood for
the armed forces.
Because there is a tremendous ur
gency to collect three million pints
of blood for use by the armed forces,
the Military came into the picture to
help the Red Cross and to press upon
the public the extreme urgency of
the situation. The Red Cross itself
is receiving no compensation for act
ing as blood procurement agency for
the armed forces, although it is true
that the Department of Defense is
paying part of the expenses of col
lecting and processing blood needed
for our troops. The Red Cross and
the Military are working together as
team in an effort to get the blood
necessary to build up our supply of
plasma which has been dangerously
depleted. The men in uniform will
alspgive .blood jn this drive, but the
bulk of it must, as always, come from
toe .civilian population.
State College Answers
Timely Farm Questions
Question I'm getting ready to put
in my pasture and plan to graze hogs
as well as other livestock. How much
pasture does it take for hogs?
Answer jack Kelley, In charge of
Animal Husbandry Extension, sug
gests one-half acre of pasture for
each sew and her litter. If you are
buying feeder hogs, he suggests that
one acre be provided for about 15
to 20 hpgs where they are being giv
en a full feed of protein supplement
and .corn. Hogs being fed a limited
ration will require more pasture than
hogs on full feed.
Question Just . how much extra
feed should I give hy hogs if I keep
them oa pasture T
Answer State College Specialists
say that about 15 bushels of corn and
100 pounds of protein supplement
should be enough feed to raise a 250
pound hog where pasture is provided.
A 250-pound hog can be produced
in six months with full feeding of
com, protein supplement and a good
Ladino clover pasture. State College
is doing some experimental work us
ing APF supplement, but at the pres
ent time there is not enough experi
mental evidence to make recommenda-
