GIVES SOME GOOD ADVICE
When Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall j
addressed the graduating class of the United States
military Academy, he took note of the weaknesses
that face a democracy in connection with military af
fairs.
Then, Secretary Marshall pointed out that “we’re
in a democracy” and urged the young men never to
forget that they are officers in “an army of a democ
racy” and advised them that only a generous under
standing of the fact could lead to a successful career.
Interestingly, General Marshall pointed out that
now, after eight months of stripping other commands
to replace Korean losses, the jniMtary manpower bud
get is beginning to balance. We have some 30,000 newly
trained soldiers available to replace losses and begin
rotating Korean veterans home. Back of them, of course,
is the source of manpower provided by the draft and
the proposed universal military training.
A REFRESHING TREND
(Indianapolis Star)
It may be branded as pure heresy around the FSA
in Washngiton, but that “get off government relief”
edict pronounced to 40,000 members of the. Mormon
Church in Arizona and New Mexico sort of restores
our faith in human nature. Members of the Latter-Day
Saints Church who met at Globe, Ariz., in their annual
regional welfare conference 'had it impressed upon
them by a representative of the General Welfare. Com
mittee from Salt Lake City that the Mormon Church
was ready to look after its own. In fact, it was pro
nounced that the welfare program and the Bishops’
storehouses made it unnecessary for any member ,of
the church to depend on Uncle Sam. There must be'
consternation among the social planners in Washington.
