1‘1 Article vi.
The Army's summer camps are
modest in comparison with the
grand maneuvers which are held
annually by most of the great and
small nations of the world. These
summer camps are without militar-
ism, because our defense system is
"' the most democratic in the world.
They are based upon the highest
goal of service to country. for they
0 purely voluntary. The young
,men go to the camps because they
wish Jo be constructive. active citi-
zens, not because the government
insists upon them being Just that. list
i" most countries military service is
compulsory.
These army camps m dest in size
and length, are the bt innings of
preparedness in our cauniry. ‘I‘hey
“1‘.
are purely American in keeping
with American traditions. ideals and
principles.
At this time it again seems neces-
sary to sound the warning against
the danger of unpreparedness. Th -e
never has been adequate prepare -
ncss in this country. We have come
out of all of our wars with the best
of intentions and high resolves
henceforth to be prepared to pre-
serve our peace and liberty. But
these resolutions like those made by
so many web New Year have always
been broken. After cac war we
have lapsed into our 0 d habit of
~negiect. Temporary expediency has
always tempted us to keep whittllng
down our military establishment. As
a. result the preparation that should
be made is never made. Always to
our great surprise. war. with all its
confusion and cost; in lives and
money. has come to us largely be-
' cause of our weakness.
We always have heard the ‘no-
more-war" prophecy. It was partic-
ularly strong after the war of 1812.
It is of foreign importation having
been heeded ages ago by nations
which were thereafter destroyed by
war and have only left their ruins
to be excavated by scientists.
We hear much at the present time
of economy. That is all important in
government as in business. But there
are two kinds of economy—tho true
and the alleged. When a farmer re-
fuses to paint or rc-shingle his barn
e be is not saving money but losing
it, for he is merely speeding the day
when he will have no barn at all. A
farmer may think that it is econ-
omy not to fertilize his fields or ro-
tate his crops, but he is merely de-
, oying tho‘vaiue of his land and
losing his most valuable posaession.
It is not economy to save thirty
s.mmillioif dollars a. year on national
defense and then spend thirty bil-
lions in two years during war. 1t
would take a. thousand years to save
at thirty million a year what was
thrown away in two during the
World War. This is not considering
the most priceless of all things—-
American lives. A military establish-
ment like a great business is the
product of years of labor and
thought. It cannot be made in a
few months or years. it took us
eighteen months. in spite of our 30
billions of dollars. to put an Amer-
ican army in the field for four
months in the World War.
‘ Our people should be zealous of
._ economy and efficiency in govern-
ment. To my mind they should
be most zealous to mold duplica-
tion in government and can still re-
. duce the cost of our government by
many billions by preventing dupli-
cation. There is no doubt that. our
Federal, state and city governments
have agencies doing the same work
. and at three times what it actually
should cost our people. I think per-
sonally we should get back to the
Constitution, that our Federal Gov-
ernment should confine its atten-
tions to its own field. our states to
theirs. and our municipalities to
' theirs. That would save money by
can be saved even on a yearly basis,
and any further cuts must be at the
expense of our army and navy‘s ef-
ficiency and our future safety. The
way to save is by better business or-
ganization and better coordination
in the different spheres of local,
state. and Federal Government.
In National Defense it behooves
this country to follow that course
which our experience has shown to
be the wisest and the safest and the
most economical. In other words. we
must maintain a reasonable army
.and must make preparation against
the possibility of war or be false to
our obligations to our country and
its future. Conforming to our tradi-
tions. our forces must be democrat-
ic, with nothing that savors of mil-
itarism. They must be economically
and efficiently administered. of suf-
ficient strength to guarantee the in-
tegrity of our frontiers:' and so or-
ganized as to be capable of rapid
expansion into a. well-trained and
disciplined army of such size as may
be needed to bring the war to o.
victorious conclusion.
I submit that the new citizen
army of the United States. although
skeletonized during peace. is cap-
able of rapid expansion in war. We
must see to it. however. that the
skeleton forces are strong enough
in peace and so trained that they
can accomplish the expansion mis-
sion that would be theirs in an em-
ergcncy.
There is a great difference be-
tween a nation that believes in pre-
paredness and a nation that is ac-
tuully prepared. The measure of the
difference is the size and kind of a
pcacedime establishment maintain-
Cd.
I have recommended and still in-
sist that adequate preparedness for
the L'nited States of America calls
for a Regular Army of 13.000 offl-
corn and 150,000 enlisted men. thor-
oughly organized and trained as our
second line of defense and capable
of reinforcing the small lieg-
ulnr Army without delay. The
Officers‘ lteservo Corps should be
made up of 50 to 00 thousand
of the finest type of Am-
ericans, capable of organizing the.
27 divisions of the Organized lic-
serves during an emergency for
these must bring victory. Our lie-
scrve Officers' Training Corps in
schools and colleges should be
tended. not decreased. for out of
them must come most of the 200,-
000 officers that a major emergency
would require. Our Citizen's Military
Training Camps should train from
50,000 to 100,000 young men each
summer. l-‘rom them must come
large numbers 01: commissioned and
noncomntirsioned officers that would
be needed by the Organized Reserves
during war and the soldiers that
would be immediately needed in an
emergency for the expansion of the
Regular Army and the National
Guard.
i-‘ivo hundred thousand young
Amcrit'nns can be trained in our
summer camps, yes a million with.
out any danger of militarism in this
country. .
Our dcfvnse is a citizen army
founded on the basic principle that
each citiztn should take over as a
citizen. his share of his country's de-
fense. That is the antithesis of mil-
itarism.
The advantage of these
camps in national health alone is
worth many times the money ex-
pended. The practical constructive
citizenship that they inculcate into
our sons means in future more ac-
tive citizenship (luring peace. The
army's summer camps are worthy
of the support of every American.
because they mean a secure and
therefore. a peaceful America, and
because they will result in our cit-
lzcns taking a more active interest
in their government during peace
and. therefore. a better America.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. July 20.—
(AI’). The practice of begging rides
from motorists has become so great
a nuisance on the through travel
lanes in West Springfield that Police
Chief M. A. Belmer has issued notice
that persons indulging in the prac-
tice would be arrested for wrong-
fully obstructing traffic.
It is said that those wanting to
ride do not confine themselves to
hails from the curb. but walk in

WASHINGTON, July 20 (AP).
Gasoline consumption is far mor
extensive in the United States tha-
anywhore else in the world.
A Commerce Department serve
made public last night showed pe
capita consumption in this count
to have reached 693 gallons 3 year
while England was second with a
average of only 11.6 gallons. On
year's consumption in China woul

United States running eight hours.
To supply the demand America
production of gasoline was lncreas
ed from 1,600,000,000 gallons i
1914 to 9.000.000.000 gallons in 1924
The United States accounted for 7
per cent. of the world's total con
sumption last year. while. at in
same time exporting $160,000.00I
