Salute To the. Navy . Saturday is Navy Day. And it is with a glow of pride and deep sense of gratitude that we salute the men of the Navy upon this 23rd observance of their own day. Flushed with victory, the fighting men of the fleet sailors, marines and coast guardsmen are returning home again, and a well deserved tribute will be paid to them tomorrow. LJERE in Medford, Navy Day has new significance with the recent commissioning of the Navy hos pital at Camp White. A goodly number of officers and men are now our neighbors, so to Captain Harry LeFavre and his command we especial greetings upon this occasion. TTWO crippling blows have been dealt the U. S. Navy in recent years. A little more than a decade ago the fleet, that might conceivably have preserved peace, was scuttled at the peace tables. The second blow was dealt by the Japanese dive bombers in the treacherous attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. Americans will never forget the high courage and supreme sacrifice of the handful of seafaring men who resisted overwhelming odds from Manila to Port Moresby in the early critical days of the war; they will remember, too, the men who kept the Atlantic sea lanes open against the ravages of U-boat packs in '41 and '42. 'HE victories of the Coral Sea and Midway started the Navy's triumphant march through the Gilbeits and Marshalls to Guam, Saipan, Iwo Jima, the Rvukvu Islands and Tokyo Bay itself. Japan's sea- gates have been smashed, a large portion of the Im perial Fleet sent to Davy Jones locKer, tne nomeiana pummeled and hammered by powerful task forces and nlanes. The Naw had escorted MacArthur back to i. Tit i a ri.: . j u me rninppines anu on to uiiiiiawa, aiueu m uic am phibious operations unprecedented in all history. YES, the men of America's sea forces have ample i-naann tr ha nivsiirl nf their- war rppnrrl. With Halsev's hard hitting carriers and Mitscher's swift and deadly flat-tops rode the highest traditions of John Paul Jones. Lawrence. Farraeut and Dewey. It will be interesting some day to know just how many Nip ponese were sent to their honorable ancestors by the 7i. . . i .t i ? Ai. tn : i r ikA tin Iisn oi tne suDmannes, uie lo-mwiers ui me dreadnaughts and the dive-bombers and torpedo planes of the earners. T is to be earnestly desired that some day the need for a michtv fleet will not be necessary. When the Third Fleet visited San Francisco the other day it was estimated that $340,000,000 in American investments were floating on the bay at one time. These ships produce no goods, their operation only consumes the products of human energy. Actually, they are worth a small traction or tneir cost to duuq ior any measur able economic service they perform in peacetime. On the other hand, these ships have been wortn many times their cost to build in saving for America everything we possess even our cherished freedom and life itself. And until the cupidity and avarice of human beings have been banished forever, just as lone as wars are possible, we had better keep a strong navy on hand for a vigilant peace. H.G. ter system for more reserves could be built in a democratic way. We nre a democracy fa- vorhig utmost lioerty for the Individual and should practice what ve preach. If military training were brougM to them in the schools In their home towns millions of youngsters could, get basic train ing ani be hept trained through out their high school and col lege yrars. Indeed they could get rpeeiali7ed training in scien tific warfare subjects at a frac tion of the cost of the draft program. For (hose who do not go to school, the national guard de velopment 19 logical. For officer personnel, An- naprlls and West Point should be duplicated to whatever ex tent necessary. www TTIERE Is reed for haste as Mr. Truman sold. A long time will be required to get these things going efficiently. Many bills to carry out some phaso of uch a democratic tralnlni program are pending in congiess. bt't there is no demo cratic program as a whole. This Is the gravest fault of the cur rent situation If the bul'head"d war depart ment will not work out what congress wants and Is able to control Mr. Truman, congress is likely to work out a piece mea' substitute which will not do the job cither.

His tory from the files ot the Mail Tribune 10. 20 and 34 years aao News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Oct. 28 The papers amply reported what congrcrsmen said about Mr. Truman's youth draft plan, but more important was what was not said.

House Leader Mc- lnquirlng news LV.L.,,. 1-aui Alalhin This time Cormnek told men ho wonted time to read the mesMiar thorough!) and Senate Leader Bnrkley could not be found, although h was around. A similarly significant void was evident all down the line of botn democratic and repub lican ranks, where the men know the youth draft is not popular. Actually, only those congressmen who had already committed themselves on both sides of th question chose to comment. Ai.y rush fur action likewise was missing ActnB Chairman Johi.son of the sc;iate military committee a democrat who is fgalnst the Trumnn Idea said the traitor could not be consid ered until about Jnnuary 15. whet the critrmnti returns. Tho Truman pr, position thus did not change voles or arouse uppor'lng ..enllnwnt. His bosic between the lines idea plainly was tnat Russia hus not Joined whulcht-artocMy in the pence, is 'he .inly competitive wor'd mili tary power to us. She announced plans for a youth draft of her own and we should do like wise. Ti ls outspoken part of the presentation was the most. lm press: vi The wr'tlen argument of the president cannot hold analytical water ITE SAYS, for Instance, he ' vanti a small army and navy, a big national guard and a youtn draft for leserves. His defense then would rest entirely on how bis and good he made the national guard, because he admits the drafted youth would only have basic training not the specialized training essen tial for modern war. He claimed the rockets and atom bombs have robbed us of time to prepare In the future. But he said the army and navy could not use th. youthful re serves until time was taken out to get sn act of congress passed. By that time the nation might be destroyed He claimed our geopraphlcal ocean defence had been destroy ed (directed mlssllr would come winding over the Icy frontier of the Arctic lo our midwest), but his plat would risk our defenses to " a small army and navy and a national juard, which hardly sounds like adequate defense and completely abi.ndons attack possibilities which are often the best defense. a FRANKLY, it seems to me Mr. Truman was sold an obsolete youth draft svstem by the old time crowd In tha war depart ment, and he dressed It up with his nationa guard enlargement idea, ai'd presented it as an an swer for a Job it will not do. From his own evidence we will have tr be ready to act faster than his plan would allow ac tion. Then again he said "universal militaiy training is not con scription " assuming apparently that conscription applies only to direct service In the army and navy. Conscription means "enlisted by co.npu'slon" tor anything whether civilian service, youth camps or the democratic party.
