...Atlantic and the Pacific are of tremendous value to our defensive situation, but they are not impassable," observed George Marshall in a piece published last week. In such impassable equivocations, he and the Navy's "Betty" Stark must deal. Otherwise that peaceful ostrich, the U. S. Citizenry, might suspect that its hired fighting men are doing their bounden duty by preparing to fight anywhere on earth...
