Need of Superior Weapons Stressed by Sec Johnson
Indianapolis Nov 3 Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson told the American Legion that the United States and its allies may never again enjoy numerical superiority in war. He urged reliance on superior weapons, skilled manpower, and industrial power to offset manpower losses and warned against relying on a theoretical enemy. Johnson outlined a strategy of attrition, emphasized atomic know-how, and urged striking at an aggressor’s weak points while defending industrial centers. He noted sea power as a key element in national plans.
