Preparedness Sentiment I

ncreases 20 Per Cent in

Last Three Years; Defense Spending Moves in Congress Likely to Gain Favor.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, i Institute of Public Opinion | NEW YORK, Dec. 28—With European powers arming at a furious ‘rate, with Germany redrawing the map of Europe and with wars already

in progress in the Orient and Spain,

American sentiment for armed pre-

Er has increased steadily in the three-year period from 1935

1938 | Three years ago this month, the ‘ ‘American Institute of Public Opin- * jon began veasuring the public's ‘attitude toward a larger Army, Navy and airforce, and has carried

regular inter- ~ vals since then. " The latest surjust com- . -Dleted, finds that _ the public is not only overwhelmingly in favor of stronger armed defense, bu t that prepared“ness sentiment is about 20 per “cent greater to“day than it was - in 1935. ; The trend of sentiment is evident in answers to the questions: “Should the United States build a . larger Navy? Should it enlarge the strength .of its Army? Should it . enlarge its airforce?” The votes:

American Munich

: ‘Be Prepared,’ Voters Say

Increased armed defenses almost certainly will be one of the first subjects which the new Congress will consider. Judging by the sentiment in the Institute survey, measures for spending money on the Army, Navy and airforce are likely to meet with great popular . approval. When ‘asked why they favor in“creases in the nation’s military and .; haval strength, the majority of vot- _ ers give three main reasons. . The first is a feeling that “war seems inevitable” and that therefore “we'd better be prepared to protect our interests.” The second is that the United : States .must take account of European rearmament, and must not let foreign nations “get so far ahead that we would be bus in a defenseless position.” _. The third reason is the belief that : America can “help keep world peace only by being strong.”. The minority of voters who, on the other hand, oppose increasing the nation’s armed forces fear that the country would become involved

In fact the Institute has found that 70 per cent of voters think American participation in the last war ‘was. a mistake, and 95 per cent say that if another war like the World War davelops in Europe the United States should not take part.
