The military mind is a wondrous thing! Once it
is set on something it stays set and not even the at
om bomb can budge it. Right now the military
mind is set on having the biggest, army, navy and
air force in the world, with a personnel recruited
via Prussian method of compulsory military train
ing. According to the distinguished atomic phy
sicist, Dr. J. R. Oppenheimer (Dr. Oppenlieimer
directed the atomic research at Los Alamos, N. M.)
one atomic raid on congested United States centers
could kill 40,000,000 Americans. A single bomb of
improved design could transform New York City
and its millions of inhabitants into an incandescent
pillar of gas in the wink of an eye. All this the at
omic bomb can do, but there’s one thing it can’t d
That is, change the military mind.
‘ Before he died the late Admiral McCain gave us
a snapshot of the military mind'. Said Admiral Me
Cain: “Give me the fast carrier forces and you can
have the atom bomb.”
Chief of Staff General Marshall is another who
takes the ato mobmb in his stride. General Marsh
all wanted peacetime military conscription before
ti e atom bomb and he wants it now. Maybe the ar
om bomb COULD destroy all living things over a
great area. Maybe it could exterminate the train
ed with the untrained, and the brave with the faint
of heart. But this isn’t going to alter General
Marshall’s thinking. No siree! And Generali
Marshall has a retort too. “The fundamental re
quirements of conducting successful war have not
changed,” lie pontificated to a House Committee.
Shades of Maginot!
In his recent Biennial Report, the Chief of Staff
asked for universal military training. He was im
patient with those who oppose universal military
training, saying “They often seem to give undue
importance to restrictions on our freedom of life."
Get it? When we were called upon to go to war,
we were told “freedom of life” was everything,
that we value this freedom too highly, that we givfc
it “an undue importance,” and that we would make
a good abrgain in exchanging it for what General
Marshall optimistically calls, “at last a probability
ot peace.
But General Marshall is right about one thing,
Compulsory military training does mean “restric
tions on our freedom of life.” Militarism always
was and always will be the deadly foe of democ
racy. And to strengthen American militarism
through the adoption of peacetime conscription is
to build a veritable fortress for race prejudice and
to make a five-star general of Jim Crow! You
know it and I know it, and the experience of milit
ary race relations in the recent war has proved it.
Yes, the military mind is a wondrous thing. It
is an antediluvian mind and it always fights the
next war according to the best strategy and tactics
used in the last. But it is not utterly without logic.
A conscript army may be useless in war but it still
has its place in capitalist society. It is still the
best device earer invented to break strikes, hold the
working class down, and indoctrinate youth with
the national chauvinistic spirit. In Imperial tier
many, military conscription was frankly regarded
as a bulwark against Socialism—and as a bastion
for class rule.
The drive to impose peacetime military conscrip
tion is now in full cry. Even before this column is
released President Truman will have put the full
power of the Administration behind it. Potent
capitalists forces and the plutocratic press will al
so join the clamor. Against this reactionary array
the workers, Negro and white, must unite in protest
Even7 man and woman who perceives the tragic and
sinister implications of military conscription should
write to his or her congressman and denounce in the
strongest terms the proopsed rape of American’s
anti-militarist tradition. For if we fail now to beat
back tlie tide of reaction, the winning of ultimate
freedom from the system of color caste and wage
slavery may be delayed by our falure for years or
decades.

Faun Employment
Down 9% in South .
Largely because of heavy rains
and a gnialler cotton crop, there
were 586 000 fewer workers em
ployed on farms in the South on
October 1 than a year ago, the V
S. Department of Agriculture re
ports.
Farm wages in thig region, al
though normally low, were slight
ly higher on October ' than a >e:»r
ago. However, because a larger
number of hired workers are em
ployed in this low area during the
fall than during the summer, the
national average of farm wages
was somewhat legs than on July 1.
Rain brought field work to a
standstill in partg of Arkansas,
Oklahoma, and Texas during the
early part of the month. Even the
Sixth National Cotton Picking Con
test. scheduled to be held at Bljthe
vllle Ark. on October 5, was post
ooned until the 25th. And because
thig year’s cotton crop is nearly
250,000 bales smaller than the 1944
crop, fewer pickerg are required.
This also accounts in part for the
decline in farm employment in the
South.
The total labor force employed in
the South numbered 6,075,000 work
ms. including 1,280,000 hired hands.
This was a decrease of 586.000, or
ine percent, as compared with the
number of workers employed on
faring a year ago.
The main work being done by
farm workers in the South was
picking cotton, harvegting peanuts,

nearing completion in southern
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.
However, farther north in these
states, picking was in full progrega (
and in Tennessee where the crop
was late, picking was just beginn
ing on October 1
With shipping improved during
the last several month8, the United
States exported glightly over two
million bales of cotton during the
1944-43 season. This is. the larg.
est quantity of cotton exported
since the 1939-40 season. It ig
pointed out, however, that exports
would not be so high were it not
for the fact that the export pay
ment makes it possible for Americ
an cottos to be sold abroad at com
petitive world prices. The United
Kingdom, Canada, and Belgium
were the largest buyers of Ame-i
can cotton.
Interegting in the cotton picture
ig the recently announced diversion
program for using cotton in the*
manufacture of paper. The Depart
-ment of Agriculture points out
that the program is designed to
(1) develop new uses for cotton;
(2) help reduce the large surplus
stocks of short gtaple, low grade
cotton; (3) furnish additional crit
ically needed raw material for mak
ing high grade paper; and (4) aid
in providing warehouse space for
the new cotton crop.

Lunch time, during most of your
baby’s infancy is going to be the
most interesting meaL New foods
are introduced first at the luncheon
meal. Even cereals are given first
at noon—or the feeding near mid
day. Later, when strained vege
tables and egg yolks are put into
the luncheon menu, then the cereal
is moved to breakfast and often
given at the evening meal as well.
.Each new food is introduced in
very small servings. If he accepts
the new food with its different tex
ture and flavor and appearance,
well and good. But don’t give him
very much even though he may be
willing to take more. After a few
days is soon enough to increase the
servings a little at a time.
If he refuses any new food of
fered him, say nothing and remove
the offending food. If no unpleas
ant associations are established in
connection with any food, he prob
ably will take it without question
on the second or third trial.
Children of all ages resent be
ing forced or urged or coaxed to
eat. Most adults have the same re
action. A serving which is too
small becomes more desirable.
Babies, like the rest of us, know
when they have had enough and
like the rest of us, vary in the
amounts they eat.
Lunch time is the time to learn
to drink from a cup and when the
first strained fruit or custard is
given.
