We were then under the illusion that war is a merely military operation; we conceivably might not be voting Marshall money this year if four years ago we had possessed a political field force equal in talent and capacity to our military commands and forces in Europe.

A compromise can be effected, however, which, although entailing more book-keeping, would install a more equal relationship. Undergraduate employees, like civilians, receive 40 cents credit for each meal eaten on duty. The saving would add up to about $2 per week, when reduced wages are deducted. Although the amount will vary considerably on the number of hours a man works, it would represent a gain...
