"THIS NATION, UNDER GOD"
These famous words spoken by
President Lincoln in 1863 were at
the same time a historical review
and a desirous prophecy, born in
the great heart of this friend of
the common people. Before Abra
ham Lincoln had made his appear
ance in the history of our country,
other brave pioneers had made a
trail out across uncharted waters
and lands, taking only their food,
some pans with which to cook, a
few seeds to start a crop. Often a
Bible was their only book. In the
New World they built a home and
raised a family of healthy, honest,
and God-fearing men and women.
Their laws: fear God—and help
thy neighbor.
Almost invariably their next
step was to build a church—for
use, not just for show. Then on
this firm foundation of spirtiual
strength which they had laid they
built the greatest nation time has
even seen.
Lincoln's prophecy? That we
should always be a nation “under
God.” It seems that the time has
come when we should check up
on ourselves at this point. Are our
politicians and statesmen God
fearing men as Lincoln? who said,
“I am often driven to my knees .by
the knowledge that I have no
where else to go.” In our feverish
preparations for “defense,” we
need to pause and consider "This
nation, under God!"

Mac Arthur Needs
15.000 New Men
Every Month
WASHINGTON, (^—Secretary
of defense Marshall said yesterday
the U. S. troops under General
Mac Arthur need 15,000 replace
ments a month and it will be April
before his divisions are built up
to “normal strength.”
Marshall testified at hearings by
the House armed services com
mittee on the defense department’s
request for universal military
service and training for 18 year
olds.
The department also asks that
the length of service by drafted
men be extended from 21 months
to 27. !
Marshall, noting the military
manpower goal is 3,462,000 by
June 30, said “we will have to in
crease our forces beyond this!
strength if the situation worsens.” I
The defense secretary cited!
MacArthur’s needs for replace-j
ments and the possibility of an in- !
crease in the military manpower
goal as reasons for extending the i
draft to 18 years olds. At present, j
the draft reaches only men aged:
19 to 26. j
Marshall said that when the Ko
«
rean campaign began last June, \
MacArthur had in Japan four di
visions at about half strength.
He said MacArthur made the
‘hrery courageous decision” to put
30.000 South Koreans into the
ranks of the American divisions.

Nehru Attacks U. S.|
Plan To Brand Red
Chinese Aggressors
NEW DELHI, India, (#)—Prime
Minister Nehru of India, in a
broadcast bristling with criticism
of the United States’ policy in
Asia, called tonight for a confer
ence of major powers to discuss
world problems, “instead of talk
ing at each other across thousands
of miles.”
“t is clear that enough has been
said on both sides for negotiation
in a conference to be the next
fruitful step,” Nehru said.
The Indian leader contended the
American policy to anme com
munist China an aggressor in Ko
rea—a poliicy backed by both
houses of the U. S. Congress—
“cannot lead to peace,” he said:
“It san only lead to intensifi
cation of conflicts and might per
haps close the door to any attempt
at solution by negotiation.
“It is a tremendous responsibil
ity for any person to take such a
step.”
Nehru’s broadcast marked his}
return from the London meeting f
of Prime Ministers of the British
Commonwealth of nations. Great.
i
Britain also is opposing any plans
to impose U. N. penalties against
the Red Chinese as aggressors.
At no point in his address did =
N^hru refer to the United States!
