Although it's easy to nee the decreas
ing number of veterans. K took a news
item in yesterday’s Battalion to five us
tangible proof. Veteran’s housing is ex
pected to be more easily obtained next
faU than at any time in the past several
years
AAM’s enrollment hit a record high
In the fall of 1947. when over 8.500 were
enrolled in the coliege. A large number
of these were veteran student*.
Since that time, the number of stu
dents has been decreasing annually, with
the graduation of the men with the “lame
duck.’* . “ f
Seme of the campus* ablest lenders
have com* from the non-corps area There
was a good reason fur chouaiag three men
to help in Ming the student body's af
fairs
^ i
Older ami more experienced, Ok eet-
erans gave to AAM. and to many ef the
younger stii<i»nts. a stabilizing influence
that had been lacking heretofore. Yet it
was given, end received, in a manner of
appreciation—appreciation from the vet
erans for the school, appreciation from
the cadets for straight, reflecting think
ing.
Soon, however, the veterans will de
part. but me beUeve they have left some
thing behind them more lasting than a
record in the Registrar's office
Taking a ( lur inmi So\id Russia . . . .
The advent of American armor in Ko
rea may help the situation, but the trend
of reports an far has not been encourag
ing. As has been noted heretofore, wv
should net expect it to lie—not Until we
are able to throw in full strength of all
ahrts
tine reason is tragically based in the
continued failure of the noatmtaHtahsn
tmthut*. including our own. to face totali
tarian governments with their owp weap
ons. It is partl> based, too, in a funda
mental. and also continuing, error <*f ait
nationaliani, the halliuinatioa that one
fighting man is not a* good a fighting

|ait it that there were iki bad regiments,
only bad colonel*. Perhaps he should have
added, laid drill sergeants.
The drawback in defending South Ko
rea is the weakness of the South Korean
army. Their fault’’ Hardly. W* knew
Russia was training the N«»rth Koreans
We did not regard it as <>ur ji*b to tram
the South Koreans, train, arm. prepare
them for what they and we would have
to face.
The frepdoni of democracies will have
to he maintained by fighting, not by de-
bate, but the Western Powers and their
fru-nda make small effort toward the prac-
tkal development of the forces that will
have to do the fighting. If Russia held
Japan tod*y. it would already have a Jap
anew Red army in being. It due* hold
hast Germany and it has made progre**
toward developing a “police force ' whose
real charaetar is in no doubt. k We hold
Japan We hold West German) And
what have we done to forestall invasion
w||h the men who will have to resist R?
The problem is far simpler for Russia
than it wo«id la* for us. Geography, their
ace m the hMe. is against us. Rut it is
a card that can he used by Western Eu
rope, by Southern Asia in co-ordination
with us if we realize now not only the vir
tues but ^he fiereMit) of providing the
army now against the force that will have
to lie used later. We can't teach ( om-
munism a lesson until we learn one from
them—The I fella* Morning News.
Rejuvenation of the l nited Nations
The Ignited Nation* wa* five years old
when the biggest test of it* short life arose
with the attack bv^Tonuwunist-cnntrolled
N<*rth Korea upon South Korea.
The fifth anniversary of the signing
of the charter at San Franc into--June 26.
1945—came squarely tvtween the attack
and President Truman * order for Amer
ican forces to aid the Republic of Korea,
m the name of the l’nited Nation*.
The world organization was in the dob
drum* It had proven itself impotent in
many instances Russia was rapidly de
stroying it* usefulness through abuse of
the veto power and in the 'iiaHt several
months by consistent abstention from the
meeting* of all agencies ih which Nation
alist < hum wa* represent*I
W hat the future hiatory of tk t utted
Nations will lie, one can only guess. Its
ideal, of oourie. is umver^akity. but this
has by ne means been realised. \
Russia has kept Italy. Spain. Portugal,
Ireland, and evpn Switzerland «*ut through
apfdicatioa of the veto.
The majority have voted down Hun
gary. K«*niaini» ami Bulgaria because they
obviously are net independent and sover
eign states, bring Soviet satellite*
The occupied nations. Germany. Jm
pan and Austria are not memlter* Nor
is Korea
If Russia secede*, taking her satellite*
with her. the United Nations would fail
greatly short of liemg universal And in
that event the new nations of South and,
Southeast Asia might wntitdraw. too, and
attempt to pursue a neutral course a* be
tween the two armed ramps into which
the world would be divided
But. whatever, it* ultimate fate the
I'nitrd Nation* ha* enjoyed an amazing
upsurge of prestige and confidence in the
pa.*t twm week* It took a crisis that
threatened it* life to turn the trick, but
the patieiit shows sign* of recovery now.
