BACK TO CONVENTIONALS There is a re cu rrin g paradox about firepow er on the battle field. Beyond a certain lim it — already passed by H-bombs— the more powerful the weapons become the less chance there is that they w ill be used. The reason fo r this is that few er and fewer occasions would be taken to Justify th e ir use. In practice, there seems to be a s till paradoxical c o ro lla ry to this law of the inverse re lation between the power and use of modern weapons. The more powerful the new weapons that exist, the more p rim itiv e the weapons that are actually used. Castro conquered Cuba with small arm s, mimeograph machines, and portable radio transm itters. Since Ghana, the paradox and corollary have been proved in the Congo, and now again in Vietnam. Readers of this col umn who have a special in terest in the armament of o u r country might pause to give this condition some reflection. AS TO RANGE OF FIRE It is noted that range of fire , having reached w o rld wide capability, now begins to shrink. The shrinkage ac centuates the importance of the '.fighting man on the ground a rm ed with hand weapons. Not only has range shrunk to that of the conventional weapons, it has dissolved to arm ’ s length. Battle In Vietnam is a p e r fect example in point. Nuclear weapons have not been used fo r fear of escalation. The bombs employed are of con ventional types, the rifle s are conventional, the a r tille r y is conventional, and now the use Of non-toxic gases has been introduced. To keep one’s thinking p ro cesses in o rd er, one m ust clearly understand the def inition of terms bandied about so freely these days. "S ophis ticated” and ‘‘conventional’ ’ must be re-emphasized. The form er generally re fe rs to nuc lear systems, the la tte r to non nuclear. But there is a Strang anomaly in the present position of the United States which is reflected in the present development of arm s-control thinking by some of our Federal authorities. Un til now these developments have emphasized control hopes with reference to nuclear weapons only. Both the United States and Russia are so heavily sup plied with these weapons, with other powers fast joining “ the club,” that the use of such powerful devices becomes m ore and more questionable. It is clear that we are armed to the hilt with Intercontinental m is siles and can return nuclear weapons shot fo r shot, if that dread necessity should ever m aterialize. Given the above, and with our nuclear stockpiling e ffo rt leveling off, our re la tive weak ness in the non-nuclear types must now become a m ajor con cern. The time has come when conventional weapons, f r o m whatever angle viewed, must receive greater supixirt in re search and development, in p ro curement and supply. And the level of these operations must not be static, fo r there are developments In m etals, in chemicals, in plastics, and in a host of other m a te ria ls, a ll of which effect conventional as well as nuclear arm s. As ou r economy becomes stronger In ttie application of such develop ments,^ so should ou r m ilita ry power, fo r each complements the other. Secretary of Defense McNa mara, in his very com pre hensive ami enlightening re view fo r Congress of our m ili tary posture and plans, very wisely Indicated the serious ness of possessing adequate weapons.
