I find it difficult to know what the truth is concerning our defenses against possible nuclear warfare because_of the conflicting views and opinions of men in public office and of our military leaders. It becomes even more difficult for a Iayman to properly evaluate the seriousness of our defense posture because so many former generals and admirals now occupy key positions at scandalous salaries for companies engaged in defense produc- tion that it is hard to know whether our military leaders are expressing honest, patriotic views or are merely making a pitch for a post-service job for a company engaged in military pro- duction. An additional difficulty in objectively discussing the ele- ments for peace is the vested interest that many corporations have in the continuation of the cold war. Over 90% of all the aircraft production in our country is for military purpses’ and the only customer is Uncle Sam. Therefore, the aircraft industry, which has been built as a result of large subsidies from the U. S. Treasury, has a special interest to keep the cold war ‘going. The end of the cold war could mean the end of their *usiness. i oe eo: te eee Sm ere cece ee e-em eee ee ee ee te Ainge Pr SP a ehh Po arrange yyw petra was ihe FTC elie irs OP A aden ingested nchteltiiatia iile wmaihimnanatembonties
