SCHOOL TRAGKERS
No commentary en the employment outlook for elementary and
secondary school teachers can have meaning unless it is first related to
the emergency context in which all contemperary educational problems must
be considered. International developments in the summer and fall of
1950 have made it clear, beyond doubt, that the peoples of the Free World
face a prolonged peried of stress, during which they mast maintain armed
strength at umprecedented peacetime levels while at the same time strug-
gling for a just and lasting peace.
No one can ferecast at what intensity international tension will
be maintained. At best, it will flactuate uncertainly. It may last
year, five years, a decade, perhage a generation. And the overriding
imporative for the United States in these perilous years will be to
marshall all of its resources, both military and nonmilitary. There
is only one assumption with which the nation can safelyenter 1951.
That is the assumption of full strength for the long yull.
Facing a long pull, we mst build combat strength and keep it at
high level for an undesermined period. We mst also extend and
strengthen the basic services which meet our nommilitary needs. The
hope of peace lies precisely in the degree 'to which we do both of these
things voll.
There mast be no moratorinm on basic essentials. Military
strength is one essential; butrit is only one. In terms of the final
values we wish to defend and promote it would make little difference
