MILITARY PROGRAM ALTERS
AMERICAN WAYS
The readers of The Daily Afaska Empire should
not overlook the implications of the military program
upon which the nation is now embarked. It will have
an effect upon the life of every American and, par
ticularly, upon the young men and women, who will
be required to fill the ranks of the services under the
draft.
Older Americans, above the fighting age, will feel
the difference in the taxes they will have to pay.
Twice in the present century, this country has
engaged in a gigantic conflict. Upon both occasions,
we entered the war without adequate preparation and
paid the price in exorbitant costs but, fortunately, got
out of both with lighter losses in human life than
we had a reason to expect. Twice in a generation,
after participating in a winning war, the Dnited
States demobilized precipitately and, upon each oc
cason, there arose a militant aggressor ready to take
advantage of the defenseless position of the other
countries.
The temporary cessation of fighting in Korea or
the conclusion of a peace treaty in respect to that
conflict should not blind Americans to the necessity
of continuing our program to increase the armed
services. This was initiated, as almost everybody
recalls, by the world situation that existed before
the Korean fighting began.
The reason for increased armed forces continues
whether there is peace in Korea or not. It stems
from the armed might of Russia, the autocratic con
trol of that country by a few men and the possi
bility that they are ready to launch military moves
to gain national objectives.
The armed services, now limited to 3,500.000 mem
bers, want 4.000,000 men. In addition, there is a
large-scale expansion of the Air Force under con
sideration. Ships, planes, guns, weapons and the
other paraphernalia of battle are being built in
increasing numbers. While the nation is not prepar- j
ing for immediate warfare, no one can deny that it |
is preparing to defend itself in the event that sudden j
war occurs. Moreover, it has accepted the principle j
that the defense of the United States and its insti
tutions includes participation in th<? defense of free
nations in Western Europe.
While the facts recited abundantly justify the 1
millitarv program now underway and the demands
that it makes upon our youth and our money, we
should not lose sight of the dangers that arise in
any country when the military segment of the popu
lation becomes a considerable ;roup.
The objection of many Americans to conscrip- :
tion has been based upon the belief that it develops
militarism. This danger can be averted more easily
if we recognize that it exists. Consequently, constant ■
efforts must be made to keep the military subject ;
to the civilian officials of the country. There must
be no glorification of war and the creation of an j
officer-caste must be avoided.
Even so. until the world gets on an even keel,
with- peace more likely than war, there is nothing
lor us to do, as a nation, tut to be strong and ready
lo fight. Every effort should be made to avdic} any j
overt act which might produce a major conflict but j
no risk should be taken with the security and safety ;
of this country or the liberties of our people.
' The preparedness program, with its economic
burden and its interference in the civil life of our
young people, will remain a constant policy until
Communist Russia has no advantage in the wajr of
military strength and, consequently, is without ohe
temptation to use its armed power against other
nations in an attempt to control the destinies of all
the peoples ol the earth.
The Washington
Merry-Go-Round
^Continued from Page One)
for Senate committee may have
concealed the fact that it received
substantial contributions. . .
“We have uncovered evidence,”
the report continues, “that an un
aigumated Clothing Workers in
northern Ohio. Violation of the fed
eral coriupt practices act, both by
the labor unions and by the cloth
ing companies involved, seems ap
parent.
"Both sides were found guilty of
filing reports with the county
board of elections When they should
have been filed with the Secretary j
of State in Columbus,” the report
adds. “Both sides tended to ignore
the requirement that contributions
of things of value other than money
are required by the Ohio law to be
accounted for and reported."
LAX OHIO OFFICIALS
However, the report blasts the
“lax attitude on the part of State
officials” as contributing to an "at
titude of carelessness on the part
of political committees in comply
ing ' with the law.”
Specifically, the investigator’s re
port scorches Ohio Secretary of
State Ted Brown.
"Secretary of State Ted Brown
informed our stafi that he did not
consider it his duty to search out
violations of the law,” blisters the
report. "The function of his office,
in his opinion, was merely to serve
as custodian of the reports actu
ally made."
The report then quotes the Ohio
law that requires the Secretary of
State to report "promptly” any law
violations to the Attorney General
who "shall forthwith institute such
civil or criminal proceedings as
may be appropriate.”
The secret report also warns
sharply that an election trick used
in the Ohio campaign "promises to
play an important role in the 1952
general election campaign.”
“This device,” say the Senate in
vestigators, "was the use of psuedo
political advertising which created
atmosphere favorable to one of the
candidates. The principal examples
in Ohio were the large display ad
vertisements and the short 'reader
advertisements of the Timken Rol
ler Bearing Company, and the "fret
enterprise series’ sponsored by the
publishers of the Columbus Dis
patch and appearing in 13 leading
Ohio newspapers.
QUAKER OATS POLITICS
“While none of the advertise
ments supported Taft or attacked
Ferguson, some of them contained
fairly direct attacks on the CIO
on collectivism and on administra
tion spending and wastefulness. The
fact that the “free enterprise ser
ies’ was sponsored almost totally
by corporations was masked by the
legend appearing at the bottom ol
the full-page advertisements: This
is one of a series of important mes
sages brought to the public's at
tention by patriotic, public-spirited
uuuvidual* and organizations.”
The report points out that the
authori
obtain’
:hcck-off was used to
)W fS&if W Sttk) Am
advertisements were paid for by 269 '
sponsors, who contributed from $50
to $1,500 each. All but six were
corporations, inch ding such out-of
state corporations as Quaker Oats,
McGraw-Hill Publishing Company
and Standard Oil of Indiana.
Pointing out that the ads were: i
published only drring the election ^
campaign, the report comments:
"The view that the advertisements
were politically motivated, of course,
is strengthened by the observation
thW^bHcdmil^drW* nan**- oi
the sponsors ‘would weaken the ef- |
fectiveness of the advertisements. . .
“It is possible," adds the report, J
"that several of the free enterprise .
and Timken advertisements could ■
be classified as 'political.' If this |
were true, the federal corrupt pract- '•
ices act and the Ohio election law
would apply."
CYRUS EATON’S SECRET GIFT;
•‘Deceptive” contributions were al- :
so uncovered trom Cyrus Eaton, j
head of Otis and .Company, to the
United Mine Workers’ non-partisan j
league.
"Our investigators have uncov
ered evidence that Cyrus Eaton Sr.,
of Cleveland contributed $5,000 di
rectly and at least $12,500 indirect
ly to labor’s non-partisan league—
United Mine Workers of America,”
j the secret report charges. "The in
direct method Mr. Eaton used was (
to deposit $5,000 in the bank ac- j
counts of his son, Cyrus Eaton Jr.,!
and a total of $7,500 in the bank I
j accounts of two employees of Otis
and Company, John A. Kruse ($5,
i 000) and Dorothy Workal ($2,500).
I Cyrus Eaton Jr., and the two cra
| ployees then gave their checks to
labor’s non-partisan league.
"The report filed by labor’s non
partisan league in Columbus shows
| that five other employees of Otis
i and Company contributed a total of
$17,500,” adds the report. "It is
j therefore possible that Cyrus Eaton
Sr., was responsible directly and
indirectly for a total contribution
1 of $35,000.
"Cyrus Eaton's concealment cre
; ates a deceptive statement and
; therefore is, in our opinion, a viola
tion of (the Ohio election) law,”
^ concludes the report.
Note 1.—It was only two decades
j ago that Senator Vare of Pennsyl
| vania, Republican, was barred from
the Senate because he spent ap
! proximately $200,000 in the Repub
i lican primary against George Whar
| ton Pepper. Sen. Frank Smith of 111
inois was also barred from the
Senate because he spent approxi
mately $100,000, while Senator New
berry of Michigan was so severely
criticized by Senate colleagues for
campaign expenditures that when
a move was started to unseat him,
he resigned.
In those days, public opinion was
alert and virile. Today, one reason
for violation of the corrupt practic
es and graft in public office appears
to be the blase reaction of public
opinion.
Note 2—The Senate investigators
also lectured the CIO for staging
anti-Taft rallies and using an ef
figy of Taft as the target in a base
ball game.
"Even if the working people who
! attended these rallies were not
aroused to hatred of Taft," com
ment the Senate probers, “it can
j hardly be said that the device used
by the CIO was ‘good clean fun'."
