■ JIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIF to Waco last week
I I was a tour through the fantastic Armstrong
Browning Library on the Baylor campus.
Dr Jack Herring, director, who teaches Brown-
ie in the university, |x?r-onalty took us through the
the- story marble edifice which houses the
world s greatest collection of Browning bookSj paint-
in furniture, and other mementos of the poet
and i p<>et wife. Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Credit for the monument goes to Dr J A. Arm-
stion, chairman of the Bayloi Knglish Depart-
ii from Dili until 1932 He not only acquired
mo-' of the collection but collected most of the
money for the building which cost $1,500,000
f HE LIBRARY contains more than a thousand

by and to Hebert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett

AWE ARE NOT LOOKING forward to self • styled
If N.-na'.ors for the Seventies”. We know what
th. \ n- talking about a- they eye the 1970 census
figure- and note where the vote is, who they're

Houston showed last August 5 how it feels to-
ward the -mall towns ..nd ruial areas when it
cl- i lted the T«Us Walei Plan which had top
priority in making possible the survival of the
inallto ' n and rural areas of Texas.
AANCE IT WAS THAT A NATION'S strength or
migh' was dciermin.d by the size and quality
ot it- human and material resources.
Might was determined by the* number of sold-
er available1 fn .in army, ihe effectiveness of an
,i m i i. l n: i' Kne capaole oi equipping and main-
taming an army in the field, the number of ships
a ountry could build and man.
ENGLAND RULED THE SEAS when we were a
C child Dii" to the complexion of her empire,
hot primary need was for a navy.
I be I nited States for many years was ahead
oi tb< re-st of the world in technology, m developing
th • mc.-t effective implements of war.
Other nalions were more populous, but they
lac ked t c hnology and p.ogressiveness if not nai-
uial resources.
pACK IN THOSE DAYS, the nation with the larg-
D ost army ruled the world, the nation with the
larg"-t navy ruled the seas.
N.it ion- which aspired to be world powers made
sure* thit they had the biggest army or the big-
gest navy.
then came the nirpiane
Our country grabbed the ball and found little
dilficulty in ruling the skies.
It was relatively easy to determine what was
reeded to rule tlie world, to be totally sale. , .
count soldiers. tanks, airplanes and ships
late was simple, never complex, in those days.
^CONSERVATIVES OF OUR TIME are still living
in the age1 desc-rilx'd above. To make sure
that I nch Sam .s the mightiest, simply make sure
that we have more implements of warfare than
anyone else! .
It Ku"ia has 2.(8*0 ships, then we must have
4 •rtnl It -he has j.imjo atomic bombs, then we must
have .......
So long as wc ran have more of everything, then
we’ve nothing to worry alsmt!
It’s as simple as that!
■TROUBLE IS. it just doesn't work that way any
I more! l or the first time m our history, there
are other nations that have as many or more po -
lential soldiers, as many or more planes, ships,
and tanks, and more unjxirtant, just as much
know-how, as ourselves.
It used to he lhat other nations lacked either
the will or the ability to keep up with Uncle Sam
as she armed herself. But those days are gone
forever.
Today. Kus-ia has more people than wv do,
more land, more resources, just as many brilliant
scientist- and a better oiled machine to do
what must lie done to participate in the race.
tAlE HAVE ALL BEEN to auction -ales where a
ww choice animal or a coveted piece of real
property was being offered Soon all Ihe little bid-
der- are weeded out and two millionaire- remain in
the race, each determined to buy the item. .
whatever the cost!
That i- exactly the situation that exist- in the
world today
Both Russia and the l nited States are deter -
mined to tx* militarily superior, whatever the cost
One- build- a mis-ile. The other reacts with an anti-
missilc So the other develops an anti - mi--ile mis-
sile And the other come- back with an anti anti -
mi—ilc tm-si)e . and so it goe- on and on with
ntdh-r abandoning the race -o long as it ha- a
spark of life left The bidding, or reaction, will end
when one of the parties has its back to the wall,
when it exhau-ts its la-t resource. . .not before.
%4AAE ARE TOLD THAT we have more of Item 1
ww than Russia has. So we feed secure Then
tome- word that Ru--ia now ha- a- many of Item
1 as we do’ So we demand that we double our
stockpile When Russia hears this, -he double- her
stockpile
Do wc expect her to lie down and quit”
W ■ arc nn.v being told by the lYesident that we
mu.-t spend an undetermined numtier of billion- of
dollar- to build a particular weapon “to stay ahead
of Ru-'ia ”
If we < ould -|x-nd the billions, the n bo secure,
FINE’
But that isn’t atxrut to happen
Just a- soon a- we give the President and the
Defense Department what it has GOT to have, then
Ru—ia will make the next move.
\nd we will have to -|x-nd still more billions
in the mad race.
VHERE IS NO SUCH THING as ‘ safety” in to-
I day's world So Ru.-sia and Unde Sam ex -
haust themselves. . .just like Hitler did in World
War II
Who is the winner0
\nd a- we -pend and spend with only defense
in mind, there is th.- eternal danger of an accidental
war, a mi-calculation, a- John Kennedy u-ed to say.
f^NLY SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE one nation
ha- over another is the relative strength one
ha- over the other
If wv have 200.000 bomb- and Russia has
100,000. we are no better off than if wc had 200
and Russia too . or 20 and 10. . . or 2 and 1.
pVERY KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON knows all
E this. John Kennedy knew it. Lyndon John-on
knew it
That's why it makes so mui h sense to try to
get together, a- nations, and like reasonable men.
try to agree on si me kind of limitation of arms
That's why both Kennedy and I.BJ advocated it —
while Congressman Price amt Wes lz/.ard screamed
hysterically.
The bird brain- cringe at -uch an absurd idea!
“Don't y.»u know you iunt trust the itu-sians?”
they rasp.
Of course, we know that. Of course wv know the
hazards, the difficulties, the exa-perations.
Of course we know that this is far from a
satisfactory solution to the problem
pUT WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE? The alter-
B native, an uncontrolled aims race, is no less
hazardou- The only thing we can look forward to
is bleeding ourselves -o .chile tnat we won't even
be able to man our trillion dollar war machine.
For 35 years we have lx-er warned by the con
servativvs that we re spending ourselves white”
trying to solve domestic problems. We’re “-pend
ing ourselves white” trying to keep old people in
hospitals and out of jhmm house*-. Were “spending
ourselves white” trying to provide quality educa-
tion for as many of our people a- possible. Were
“spending ourselves white ' trying to provide decent
housing for people, good roads, park- for recreation,
trying to find cures for cancer and heart trouble.
But never have wv heard these same people
express fear that we might also ' spend ourselves
white' in a futile arms race.
Never onu* have we heard these people even
question an expenditure for armament! They've
-helled ii out by the billion- . tomorrow they will
shell it out by the trillions, if a-ked.
VHERE ISN'T A PERSON with intelligence suf-
I ficient to get in oat of the rain who wouldn't
gladly buy collective protection ai ANY price
. . if it wa- so s.mple as voting a $10 billion or a
$100 billion appropriation for -ome magic weapon
guaranteed to protect u- from any enemy.
Ii wouldn't even lx1 debated!
But there is no such weapon . and never
will he
We are being asked .o spend $10 or $?o billion
dollars for devices that will lx1 obsolete even before
they are completed will lie matched or surpassed
by Russia perhaps before construction has Ix-gtin
So let’s don’t bo too critical of men who. in
view of the facts, hesitate. . saymg . .“There
just must be- some other alternative to this in-
sanity.”
