Complete solidarity between t &e Governiaent and tlie people,
their mutual and unreserved cooperation end full end active
control of all national resources by toe Government, in
war as in peace, are the essential conditions necessary for
our protection# The outburst of the great calamity which
is bound to occur one day will find ue in a state of
helplessness and humility with our Imagined fortresses,
precautions and preparations# lo prayer or sorcery will
avail us#
The insurance of the nation against all such
calamities is the army and nothing else, and we cannot
possibly look at the army preparations, expansions,
perfections and requirements with suspicion or neglect or
ill-will. Full cooperation between the people and the army
is essential. If a soldier loses one round of ammunition
by error in the Baluchistan wildernesst the effects of this
will inevitably be felt in the arsenal of the army where
901 of their w /orkers and technicians are civilians and
belong to the people. Or when 2nd Lieutenant Feda-i han
(a fictitious name) of the garrison of Sarakhs wishes to
change the thread-bare puttees of his men with new ones,
the effects of this action will be felt in the weaving
factories which are run by civilians and manned by civilians
Even if we institute Government factories for such purposes,
the majority of their workers are bound to be civilians.
Likewise, all the zeal and effort of an Amir Lashgar will
produce no effect if he considers 500,030 rounds of
ammunitions for his guns as essential for the future
emergency and if he finds that none of the components of
these amnmnltions are to be found in the country, or that
there are no adequate means of transport for the easy and
prompt conveyance of these explosives, or that the roads
are not sufficiently carrossable and metalled. He,
/therefore.
