One Year $7.00 Two Years..................$13.00 Arms and America's Future "Unless we are prepared to defend portions of the world lying outside of North America, we shall soon find ourselves with nothing else but North America to defend.” A sobering thought from a man who knows: Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger. In a speech before the Economic Club of New York on January 22. Schlesinger painted a grim picture of current U.S. Military—or. rather, anti-military—trends, and where those trends could lead. "In the next fiscal year...Defense Department ex penditures will represent about 5% of capacity output—the lowest point since the pre-Korean demobilization.” says Schlesinger. “Since the 1968 fiscal year the Army has been cut almost precisely in half....In the forthcoming fiscal year, the U. S. Navy will dip below 500 ships in the active fleet, a level lower than at any time since 1939—two years before Pearl Harbor." No one should be surprised at where the Soviet Union has been heading in the meantime. "Today....the Soviet Union is outspending the United States on defense by 20%—by 25% if pensions are dropped out," explains the Defense Secretary. "In every meaningful category of defense expenditures the Soviets outspend the U.S.” No thinking person can believe that these trends will continue indefinitely—given Russia's global ambitions—with out this country and the West as a whole coming to grief. As Schlesinger correctly notes, the era of political and economic instability currently facing the world is traceable in no small measure to "an erosion of belief in American power and purpose." Sufficient arms are absolutely necessary to maintain a world-wide military equilibrium which, in Schlesinger's words, "is essential to the American society as we know it today.” These are not easy times to talk of increasing government spending for any purpose. However, if we Americans fail to make the necessary sacrifices to keep our defense competitive with the Soviet Union's, the consequences for us and the free world wtll be truly horrendous. U. S.

The Journal: We traded with foreigners and we thought it was a good deal. We got cheap oil. We developed our whole eco nomy. life style, and comfort of living around this cheap oil. We became dependant upon them. Now they are bleeding us to death. They are now our enemies. Should we learn something from this? Why do we insist on trading with Russia and China? Why do we go all out to become dependant upon them by developing trade with them? They are already our enemies. They have said they plan to destroy us and our way of life and yet our Presidents. Our Congress, and so many of our leaders want to give them our products, loan them our money at much less interest cost than to ourselves, and we've learned they don't pay anyway. They are a poor credit risk. Sometimes 1 say to myself how can this be? Don't we as a people care? Why don't we all let our congressmen know that we do not want to trade with our enemies? It is dangerous enough to trade with our friends. Look at the oil deal if you don't believe it. Yours truly, /$/ D. A. Erickson 1131 SW Sixth Avenue Ontario.
