Attitude Against Postwar
Service Sways Congress
Public Joins Influential Organizations in
Objections to Training; Need for
Interim Security Force Argued.
By BAUKHAGE
/Veits Analyst and Commentator.
W.Vl) Service, 1616 Eye Street, N.W.
Washington, D. C.
In the days that followed Presi
dent Truman’s message to congress
urging universal military training
we, in Washington, waited to see if
there would be an echo to the Presi
dent’s words spoken so earnestly but
with so little effect on the audience
before him. There was an echo all
right but it was an emphatic rumble
ot negation.
I wasn’t surprised — I read my
listeners’ letters.
It was interesting to see the way
the members of congress reacted to
the President’s message as he de
livered it. I watched them with one
eye on the text of his speech as I
stood squeezed into the crowd in
the gallery of the house.
Varied Reaction
To Proposal
Here are some of the sentences
which I checked as bringing re
sponse:
“ . . . above all else, we are
strong because of the courage and
vigqr and skill of a liberty-loving
people who are determined that this
nation shall remain forever free."
(Applause). Well, that was a gen
eral, non-compromising sentiment.
Nothing to do with the subject in
hand.
There was the statement that w;
didn’t lack faith in the United Na
tions organization, “on the contrary
with all we have, we intend to back
our obligations and commitments
under the United Nations charter.”
(Mild applause, this time.)
Then came the response to the
first direct appeal for the measure
in hand. The President said: “The
surest way to guarantee that no na
tion will attack us is to remain
strong in the only kind of strength
an aggressor can understand—mili
tary power.” Applause again but 1
had the feeling it was for the senti
ment and not the suggested means
of implementing it
When he said that “the basic
reason for military training” is to
guarantee safety and freedom from
an aggressor, there was another
demonstration, but not quite as ener
getic and many members, I noted,
refrained from any applause at all.
The last note is the most em
phatic. “Good applause” followed
the President’s affirmation that “un
til we are assured that our peace
machinery Is functioning adequately,
we must relentlessly preserve our
superiority on land and sea and in
the air.” But that is just what the
congress is not willing to do because
it believes the country is not willing
to have them do it. I am sure of
that because I know they have been
receiving, as I have, far more let
ters against military training than
in favor of it.
Must Sell
Public Program
Today, a man who keeps his fin
gers on the pulse of congress as
sures me that there will never be a
universal military training act until
a great deal more “selling” has
been done by those who believe in
it, than has been attempted so far.
This man, like the writer, is a
convert to the cause, so his expres
sion was the reverse of wishful
thinking. Both of us, though mem
bers of the American Legion, never
favored their program for universal
service urged upon congress, be
ginning shortly after the last war.
“There is too much organized op
position,” my friend said, “such
powerful influences as the federal
council of churches, some influential
members of the Catholic church,
virtually all of labor so far (and
this includes the CIO and the AFL
which often nullify each other’s ef
forts) the colleges and the unorgan
ized group which might be called
simply ‘the mothers.’ ”
Where do the returned veterans
stand? It is too early to say. If they
follow in their fathers' footsteps they
will eventually vote for prepared
ness. It is the tendency of men who
have seen service to place a high
value on thorough preliminary
training. But they will not become
vocal until they join the ranks of the
World War I veteran organizations
or build others of their own.
There is, however, another force
which may change the picture — a
change in the international set-up
which will inject the element of
fear into the people's attitude and
since fear starts the adrenalin flow
ing that usually means action.
Meanwhile, there are those who
feel that complete preparedness not
only is essential in the interim, even
though a future world security or
ganization is moving swiftly to
fruition, but that it will also act as
a stimulus toward such a goal.
The argument runs briefly: We
must prepare to enforce peace, or
prepare to fight a war. Many mem
bers of congress realize this and
would undoubtedly support the
President’s program if they felt they
could do so without flying in the
face of the majority opinion of their
constituents. I do not intend to use
this column as a platform upon
which to debate the issue now but I
would like to present a viewpoint
expressed by a medical man which
made considerable impression on
the comparatively few Washington
ians who heard him address a re
cent meeting in the capitol.
speaker was Dr. G. B. Chisholm,
one of the world's foremost psy
chiatrists, who served as chief medi
cal officer of the Canadian army
and is now deputy health minister of
Canada.
‘Maturity’ Needed
For Peace
His thesis is that “this is a sick
world, with an old, chronic but ever
more extensive and serious sick
ness. Its sickness has recently be
come acutely dangerous and the fu
ture is uncertain indeed.”
It is a sickness which has made
us “the kind of people” who fight
major wars every 15 or 20 years
The cure is education. Just as in
dividuals become neurotic because
they are not mature, and thus are
unable to cope with the situations
they must meet, so the world has
developed a behaviour pattern
which produces something which no
body wants: war.
We must have enough people who
can show tolerance, be patient, and
above all have the ability to com
promise. These are qualities of ma
turity, Dr. Chisholm points out, and
people, mature in this sense,
would not want to start wars and
would prevent other people fi om
starting them.
But the doctor realizes that edu
cation will not produce such matur
ity in one generation. But such a
state must be realized or we face
one of two alternatives. Either we
must become a race of trained
killers, or a race of slaves.
Until we can achieve education
sufficient to avoid such horrible
fates, “for so long as it may take
to change the bringing up of chil
dren enough in this world, our close
watch on each and everyone in the
world should not be relaxed for a
moment.” The first step in eradicat
ing war is an attainable stopgap,
Dr. Chisholm believes. Security
must be achieved and the valid
fear of aggression eliminated. This
means legislation backed by imme
diately available combined force
prepared to suppress ruthlessly any
appeal to force by any peoples of
the world. The administration of
such a force is a delicate problem
but it can be devised if and when
the great power really wants it.
The second step would be to pro
vide the opportunity for all peoples
to live on economic levels which do
not vary too widely, either geo
graphically or by groups within a
population. This means a redistribu
tion of material. This is possible
since there are enough resources
in the world to go around.
It is impossible in this space to do
justice to Dr. Chisholm’s views but
the main points are these: he feels
that man has developed one consist
ent pattern of behaviour which
causes him to indulge in a major
war at frequent intervals; that go
ing to war represents immaturity;
that immaturity can only be cured
by education beginning at childhood
with an accent on the “sciences of
living”; that until we achieve ma
turity we must unite ruthlessly to
suppress the effort on the part of
any nation or anyone in any nation
to start a war.
Psychiatrists may not solve the
problem of world peace but it is safe
to say that immature laymen won't
either. Meanwhile, what congress
must decide is how dry the country
wants to keep cur powder.

^ . with
my ship!
I think men are the silliest sex.
As an example of masculine
nonsense, take the old tradition
that a captain should go down
with his ship. Good sense would
prescribe that just because you
are losing a good ship is no rea
son for losing also a good ship
captain.
Every war is the result of cen
turies of male mistakes. World
War II was partly the result of a
lot of masculine mistakes by a
bunch of cagey old males after
World War I.
Some day there may have to
be a terrific worldwide revolu
tion of women — who will take
their great statesmen over their
knees and spank them like bad
little boys—and end war.
I Clean Light Umbrellas
With Soap-Suds Shampoo
Light-colored umbrellas that be
come dingy or spotted with soil often
may be cleaned successfully at
home by a soapsuds shampoo, tex
tile specialists say. Before washing,
open the umbrella and brush the
fabric with a clothes brush to re
move loose dust or dry mud. Any
spots which look like grease spots
should be sponged with cleaning
fluid.
Hold the open umbrella over a
tub and go over the outside with a
soft brush dipped in thick, lukewarm
suds of mild soap. Give special at
tention to the center fold of each sec
tion where the fabric usually shows
the most soil. Handle and wash
gently to avoid strain on the
stretched fabric. An easy way to
rinse the umbrella is to hold it un
der a spray of lukewarm water, or
it may be rinsed by pouring clear
water from a bowl over it. Leave
the umbrella open to dry.
An umbrella allowed to knock
about the floor of a closet or auto
mobile does not keep its good looks
long. To make it last and give good
service, shake well after using in the
rain, leave open until dry, then fold
and hang in a clean, dark closet to
prevent fading. Umbrellas put away
damp, especially in summer, are
likely to mildew.
Fat Adds to Flavor
Of Choice Meat Cuts
Since most persons prefer lean
meat it follows that the less fat there
is in a cut—a roast let us say—the
more eating it would provide. A
time back, specialists of the depart
ment of agriculture looked into this
angle for the benefit of butcher shop
customers. They used beef sides
which graded choice, good, commer
cial, and utility for their research.
They divided these into three parts,
namely, the separable lean, the sep
arable fat, and the bones and liga
ments. According to their findings,
which were made known recently,
the consumer would get about two
pounds of separable lean meat out
of a four pound standing rib roast
of the choice grade cut. The com
mercial grade roast, however, would
yield about 2Vi pounds. In prewar
days it is likely that the parts of
the roast which were not lean meat
often went into the garbage can. The
conclusion from these figures is that
the homemaker gets more lean meat
—the part of the outstanding roast
which her family eats—out of the
commercial grade cut than from a
j choice grade roast of similar size.
' But the figures do not show that the
| fat makes the leanmeat of the
| choice
i
Stock Market
Of all the speculators who follow
the doings of the stock exchange to
day. only 5 per cent can hope to
come away with more than they put
in, experts say. Of the remaining
95 per cent, 30 per cent just about
' break even most of the time. Sixty
five per cent lose all the time. This
latter group is always putting money
in but never taking any out. Its
members are always playing
hunches or tips for a quick ride in
stead of investing in equities of mer
it. They usually have a limited cap
ital, from $500 to $2,000. and buy as
much as they can on margin. Be
cause of that, they are always at
the mercy of unforeseen develop
ments, such as bad news about lat
est earnings, strikes or any of sev
eral other causes, which periodical
ly upset the market for a little while
and cause a lot of frightened trad
ers to sell.
