Is Our Army
w
M o <1 e r n ?
(Cleveland Plain Dealer)
Daily we hear the tr ad of
marching men. Day by day the
lines grow longer. On the skill
and valor cf our soldiers rests
the nation's safety. It is, there
fore, the solemn duty of our gov
eminent to train and equip our
boys in the arts of modern blitz
krieg so they shall n ver perish
in the helpless confusion that
doomed the French Army, which
was a great army in an outworn
style.
It is suicide to prepare again to
fight the Civil War. Likewis . the
trench warfare of 1917 is obsol
lete. Long lines of men do not
make an army any more,
With even our children watch
ing the ev.nts of Europe through
the camera’s eye it seems rid c
ulous to mention such obvious
matters, yet Maj. Malcolm Wheel
er-Nickolson in the currnt Har
per’s strongly accuses the general
staff of tinkering with ox carts
while tanks speed by.
One delay after another has b:
set the building of camps for
homing drafted recruits.
“Can our army, which has not
in 20 years devised workable
blueprints for the comparatively
simp] peacetifhe construction of
baracks, be trust d in wartime
to plan the infinitely more diffi
cult task of setting down an ex
peditionary force, at short notice,
at a distant point, completely
armed, equipped and supplied
r.ot only against the vagaries of
weather and the difficulties of
terrain, but against the resistance
cf thc human element as wll?”
a-k? Wheeler-Nicholson.
He also finds serious fault with
army discipline and training. Cor.
corning leadership. Wheel r -
Nicholson says our system of
prompt! -n brings ine pnble men
to the top and submerges some
of the be-t talent.
W do not know how to build
an army, nor can we pass judge
ment on the major’s charges. W1'
do known however, that the na
tion is entitled to a vigorous and
thorough investigation with cor
rection where n eded, so every
citizen can be assured b yond all
doubt that our boys will have
every chance of success when
called on to def nd our shores.
MOTHER HAD POOR
OPINION OF CAROL
BUCHAREST, March — A let
l«x in which the late Queen
Marie of Rumania had declared
her son Carol wras unqualified to
be king was read to foreign news
men by Premier Antonescu of Ru
mania. The occasion was the ob
s rvance of the sixteenth anni
versary of Rumania’- proclam
ation as a kingdom.
The letter from the late Queen
was written to Carol when he
first renounced his right of suc
cession in favor of his young son,
Michael, and went abroad with
his companion, Madame Lupescu.
Carol later returned home and be
came king but abdicated last
year in favor of Michael.
In the letter Marie declared
her son was giving up everything
that should make him happy —
“fortune, reputation, a beautiful
wife and a small son” and was
greatly endangering the life of
his father who was then gravely
ill. The letter added:
“You have proved yourself un
qualified to be a leader of your
country.”

President Rnosev It's lengthy
address broadcast recently to
the nation and the world, left no
doubt in the minds of his listen
ers as to the course he intends to
ste.r the ship of state and as to
the attitude as-umed toward the
Axis powers.
In no uncertain words, the
, President positively defined total
itarian powers as a menac. to
the word of democracy, and call
ed on America as the “'Arsenal
of Democracy” to do her utmost
to provide Britain and her allies
with suppli: s. ships and every
thing possible to carry on to ul
timate victory.
Picturing the Axis powers as
enemies of liberty and freedom,
out to dominate the rest of th
world, the President did not hesi
tate to call upon the people of
America to be prepared for s r
vice and sacrifice which will as
sure perpetuation of that liberty
and freedom.
Not only a'd to Britain and her
European allies, but also to
China, was sp cifieally stressed
in the address. Adroit and firm
in his utterances, the President
undoubtedly refl cted the senti
ment of the nation.
Th:re's no d ubt but what Am
erica will proceed along the lines
indicated in the President’s ad
dress. Such procedure means the
most Intensive collective action
on the part of the people of Am
erica. Never before have they
been called upon for performance
of a task upon such a gigantic
scale. There's no question of their
tesponse.
Watch now for the unfolding
of a stirring panorama such as
the world n ver before has
known. And while all the physic
al assets and wealth of America
are thrown into the arena, it is
well to remember that in the,
field of diplomacy much yet may
be acomplished which will help
to tilt the cause of the nations
dedicated to the cause of lib.riy
nd freedom their way.
I: may be a long road ahead,
but history points to the fact J
that those who would dominat
the earth inevitably go down to
d feat.
