A C T IO N T O SHORTEN W A R
The decision o f military and government
leaders to abandon American anny equipment
in Europe after the defeat of Germany will me
et with general approval.
Abandonment o f the enormous quantity of
equipment on the fighting fronts of Europe will
mean waste o f millions of dollars, but it will
probably result in shortening the global war
and consequently save thousands
lives, be
cause munitions can be made much more quick
ly in American factories and shipped to the or
ient than they can be gathered from all parts of
Europe, overhauled and sent to the Pacific.
There is doubt as to whether the equipment
could be satisfactorily salvaged, so that it will
probably be sold in the countries in which it is
abandoned. Military men feel that months wo
uld be required to move it to the Pacific theater _
o f operations. With the war moving at such a
rapid pace in the Pacific, troops there will be
in a position to use large quantities o f equip
ment soon.
Although the program will shorten the war
and save lives, civilians must realize that the
plan will require continued large-scale product
ion of military goods and result in slower con
version to peace-time manufacturing. However,
in the final analysis, everyone will be benefit-
ted, with the exception o f a few profiteers, be
cause the final conclusion o f the conflict will
mean the resumption o f normal lives for most
o f us.
