lOther Editors Say IMPORTANT TO CANADIANS f (From The Letterâ€"Review) ‘Important to Canadians is report of National Security Training Commission, delivered to President Eisenhower just beforg Christâ€" mas. Commission, composed of five eminent U.S. citizens, warns that men are more important than material. "Without trained men with high morale, material is useless." It warns that U.S. will not again be given time, as it was in 1914 and 1939, to get ready for war. "If we do not train fighting men beforehand, we certainly will not have time to train them afterward." ‘This does not mean U.S. must keep a large standing military force, "massive and expensive through the decades." Instead, comâ€" mission suggests large, trained reservesâ€"Twentieth Century Minuteâ€" mer. Proposal is that all young men should be put into uniform at 18. Choosing by lot, some would do two years‘ military service; others would get six months‘ training. Those who got six months‘ training would be considered reserves for the following seven and a half years, subject to immediate callâ€"up in an emergency. They could shorten this time, however, by training with reserve units. Commission says: ~ .‘"We proclaim equal rights, equal benefits, and equal opportunity for the pursuit of happiness. Conversely, we : should all share equally the oblixlfion to serve the nation, to protect it and sacrifice for it. All should attempt to avoid . danger by freparing for danger; all should share the duties, the discomfort and the dirty work. All free men should be willing to guard their liberties and each free man should take his turn at guard." Situation of Canada is no different from that of U.S. Should war come, hundreds of thousands of young Canadians will have to serve. As matters stand, they will serve with little or no training, since there will not be time for it They will, in short, have been conâ€" demned to death by public apathy and political cowardice. @mm etc. today for fast, friendly service! _ No Bankablesecurity needed.
