Says Russia Cannot Win
Without God and U. S.
Should Pray More.
Washinigton, D. C., Jan. 20—I am
not a military expert and cannot
speak with authority as to what is
to happen to our
18 to 22 year old
young men during
the next few years.
The plans and
hopes of many jobs,
homes, and colleges
are completely up
set. *
Let me, however,
add a little hope to
_ ■.kaw f^htened families.
***** "••®** Men who know the
probatoilities assure me that the fu
ture is not as bad as it now looks.
They insist that only a few more
boys will be shipped to Asia. We will
be willing to supply guns and muni
tions to enaible the Japanese to pro
tect Japan, to enaible Nationalists to
hold Formosa, and to give needed aid
to the Philippines. But no more Am
erican boys will be sent to Korea,
Indo-China, Burma, India or else
where in Asia.
Experts at Washington believe that
World War III, if it comes, will be
fought mainly by the Navy and Air
Force. They say it would be suicidal
to depend upon numbers of infantry
to meet the Russians, even in Europe.
With the large number of Com
munists who infest each European
country, it may be best to limit our
help to Western Europe to supplying
them with A-Bombs. Therefore, I be
lieve that mothers and boys are un
necessarily excited.
Americans seem unable to strike
a middle course. 'Diey either ignore
danger and insist on ‘business, prof
its, wages and entertainment as us
ual”, or else they become panic-
striken and go too far in the oppos
ite direction.
Train For Useful Work
I, therafore, strongly advise that
parents and their youths avoid get
ting unduly excited. First, the chanc
es are three to two that Russia will
not risk a “hot war” for some time
to come; and second, if only the pre
sent “cold war” continues, 2,500,000
young men in training would be a
nuisance and handicap to all con
cerned. I, moreover, speak with some
authority, having founded three col
leges and graduated thousands of
young men.
1 further advise young men be
tween 18 and 20 to quit listening to
radio commentators who know no
more as to the future than you my
readers do. Go on about your plans
SC Cost Soars

Polio Patients
for schooling or work the same a? if
no war is now possible.
Then if you are called, it will be
okay; while the chances are 50-50
that you won’t be called. When you
go to work, get a job with some in
dustry which is essential to the war
program;—don’t be content to jerk
sodas or drive a truck.
Brains For War III
The next few years otffer a great
opportunity for young men to be
come expert in some one line of
work.. Too many young people have
been getting jobs without any care
fully planned aims. The new defense
efforts enable a young man to take
and ascertain for what he is best
fitted and how to train therefor. If
you live in a small town where there
are no industries, have your mother
teach you to cook. This is becoming
a real profession. Drafted young men
who can qualify as trained cooks are
always given good opportunities for
advancement.
The trouble with parents and
youths today is that they visualize
the next war—if it comes—will be
like the last war. This is a great mis
take. We cannot lick Russia by num
bers. Korea proved this. It was our
intelligence forces that let us down.
We can win by brains.
If World War III comes it will be a
conflict of superior intelligence.
Hence, let our youth prepare to use
their brains; while the poor Russians,
Chinese and other peoples are treated
as cannon fodder. Lf General MacAr-
thur had given more attention to the
Intelligence Division of his army and
less to old-fashioned fighting cus
toms—things would be different. Our
boys should be trained by young
leaders in these new ways, rattier
than by out-dated old “brass” who
cannot adopt modern methods.
Remember Our Religion
Finally, let us parents not forget
that God continues to rule in His
Heaven and that, in the long run, the
Russians can never win without Him.
God is still our refuge and our
strength if we will cease worrying
and take each day as it comes. Let
us give more time to reading our Bi
bles and less to television or even
the radio. Perhaps, God is using the
Russians to again bring us to our
knees and to make our young peo
ple—who have had things pretty
easy—“stop, look and listen." At any
rate, I am an optimist and believe
that whatever happens, those who do
their best from day to day have noth
ing to fear.
The cumulative cosf of caring for
polio patients soars tremendously
each year as new cases are added to
the old, it was pointed out by Dr.
James A. Hayne, state chairman of
the March of Dimes.
Consequently, he added, increas
ingly larger amounts of money are
needed to cope with the over-all load
of new and carry-over cases. As high
polio incidence continues—as it has
for the past three years—the prob
lem becomes increasingly acute.
‘There is only one answer to this
new polio \challenge,” he said, “that
is to make the present March of
Dimes the greatest on record.”
Doctor Hayne said that during
1948, 1949 and 1950—when more
than 100,000 persons were stricken
—the treasuries of hundreds of chap
ters across the country were depleted
and many others were reduced to the
danger point. At the same time the
epidemic fund of the National Foun
dation reached bottom for two years
running.
"We are now faced with a stag
gering polio patient load,” he said.
‘‘No matter what the 1951 season may
bring in the way of epidemics, we
know that we will be responsible for
the thousands of patients from 1950
and earlier years.”
In stressing the high cost of care
in some cases. Doctor Hayne cited
a South Carolina boy who has re
ceived $59,000 since August 1948.

New York, Jan. 20—The population

taken last April and now totals about

said, the excess of births over deaths,
including losses in the armed forces
overseases, was nearly 2,250,000.
They said the total increase in pop
ulation in the last 10 years was a
little more than 20,000,000, the high
est for any 10-year period in the na
tion’s history. More than 11,000,000
of this increase oocured during the
last five years, they said.
