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.

Editor. 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
