Campaign debate on future US military policy and cost
An opinion piece analyzes the US approach to military policy in the 1950s campaign. It argues the nation faces about 100 billion dollars over four years for rearmament, critiques bipartisan plans for air-atomic and Western Europe defense, and questions who will provide manpower and land power for the Truman doctrine. It warns against overreliance on atomic strategy without guarantees to Europe and calls for a clear, funded US military strategy.
