War’s Lessons Ignored
'THERE'S a shocking sermon in unpreparedness lor the
* Amerian people in reent statements, taken together, of
two of our military leaders.
One was the statement of General George C. Marshall,
wartime army chief of staff, before the Pearl Harbor in-
vestigation committee that one month before the sneak
attack, the United States was not in position to back up
bv military means any warnings that might have b'*en
• ^
sent to Japan.
The other was a statement by Brigadier General Em-
mett O’Donnell of the army air forces that, “due to the
hysterical demands of the people made upon congressmen
to get the boys home, today we have no air force worthy
of the name: we are in a bad way defensively.” He added
that the same situation applies, or soon will apply, to the
army and navy.
In other words four months after the end of history’s
most terrible war, we find our nation drifting back into
the condition that existed before the outbreak of war
That was the condition of not being ready for any attack
that might come against the United States.
* -if *
rPUUE enough. General Marshall’s statement was not par-
ticularly new as a disclosure that this nation was not
prepared when war came. It wasn’t ready despite the fact
that its industry and military hud been in the process of
gearing for war since the Nazis invaded Poland more thar
two years previously.
But the statement was shocking as an emphasis upor
the degree of our unpreparedness. It was tragically pro-
vocative of the thought that there might have been nc
Pearl Harbor attack and no Pacific war if the United State?
had been in position to back up words with action. If wc
had been strong then, the Japs certainly would have know?
it. just as they knew that militarily we were weak.
JTNHAPPILY, the conditions cited by General Marshal’
are water under the bridge. We can’t undo what ha?
been done.
But we could make sure that the conditions which
invited attack in 1941 never exist again. And that b
exactly what we are failing to do. This is a condition tc
which General O’Donnell’s statement directs attention. It
is one concerning which many of our military leaders have
sounded warning recently.
Whether the understandable anxiety to “get the boys
home” is responsible for, or contributes in large degree
to that condition, we cannot pretend to know. Certainly
anyone would be reluctant to suggest that there‘be any
slackening of the pace at which the boys are being re-
turned.
But \\ hatever the reason and whatever the remedy,
there are obvious reasons for genuine alarm that Click
Sam is letting his guard down. There are reasons to fear
that, already, this nation is ignoring the lesson of unpre-
paredness for which it has paid with so much blood, suf-
fering and grief and once more is trusting its future to
fate rather than to its own strength.
