Rotary News
Mr. Charles Duncan, President
of the Bank of Forest Park, was
guest speaker for the Forest
Park Rotary Club’s February 22
meeting at the Barbeque
Kitchen.
Mr. Duncan, representing At
lanta General Depot’s Chapter
132, Reserve Officers Association
I of America, and in keeping with
National Defense week, spoke
principally of the" dangers that
confront our country today. Mr.
Duncan asked that the public
please note that contrary to
some opinions and expectations
National Defense Week is not
intended to be a time of cele
bration, nor a time for parades,
or military displays: but it is
intended to be a time for sober
reflection, a time to add the
negatives and the positives, sub
tract one from the other, and
consider the balance of our na
tion’s security.
Mr. Duncan further stated
that the Free World knows its
enemy—where he is and what
his intentions are. He has plain
ly shouted that he intends to
"bury us” and that he has time
on his side. This enemy in the
present guise of communism is
not a new one. Barbarity, cruel
ty. slavery, and dictatorial im
perialism have been opposed to
a free world since time began.
The age-old struggle for world
conquest is being constantly up
dated, made more effective
through the use of improved
scientific and intellectual wea
pons. Our armed services, both
Active and Reserve, must also
be constantly bringing them
selves up to date. It is an ex
pensive matter, involving money,
time, and effort; but if we are
able to blunt the communistic
threat we must of necessity be
militarily strong enough to
command their respect — and
their respect is based on the law
of might, not the law of right.
Mr. Duncan enumerated fac
tors which the enemy would sur
vey in evaluating our total and
real strength—our ready-to-use
air striking power, our naval de
fenses. our ground troops here
and abroad, our training cen
ters National Guard Armories,

i | strength than can be contrib
i uted by our allies. All of these
■ factors are requisite in main
| taining an effective military de-
I terrent to the threats of the
j Communistic tentacles.
Mr. Duncan also pointed out
that just as military deterrence
requires the whole spectrum of
military power, so does over all
deterrence require the whole
spectrum of our national re
sources — moral, spiritual and
material. It is imperative that
we as a nation develop every as
pect of our national life. Our j
Armed Forces .will be just as
strong as we are as a nation—
but not one whit more; An ac
tive moral and devoted citizen
ship is indispensable and an in
tegral part of this total national
power.
Mr. Duncan’s summing point
was the fact that the task fac
ing the nation today is not one
for the fainthearted and is not
an easy one in this age of peril.
Nothing can assure true peace
but the triumph of principle, i
after which our children may
live one day without the threat
of atomic destruction.
