Those in a position to know most a bout world events, and
the relations between nations, doubt that the present issues are
likely to be soon resolved. At best there is ahead a long period
of uncertainty and disorder. During this time we must organize
our national life to carry on necessary everyday activities, and,
at the same time, prepare for the possibility of a global military
conflict.
This perspective of the "long pull" makes 1951 different
from 1917 and 1941. If we faced a short haul, we might permit the
demands of an all-out total war to take precedence over everything
else, expecting to return to the neglected civilian and domestic
issues after a time. But, facing a long haul, we have not only
to build combat strength and keep it at a high level indefinitely,
but also to equip the oncoming generation of youth for life in this
troubled world and, at the same time, greatly to extend and
strengthen the basic services which meet the nonmilitary essential
needs of the people. Policies and programs which were adequate
"the last time" will not do today. 1951 is not 1941.
