emergency of wsr. less has been done TO
stimulate the military tendencies OF our
neoule. and st!sl less to formulate any uni
fern plan for military organization, than
In almost any other government IN the
world.
On the contrary, We have had preached
to us since the days OF the declaration OF
independence doctrines most empnaficaily
opposed TO standing military establish
ment. and despite the obligations imposed
by the constitution. the government has
rers;stentiy neglected the organization by
law OF the military bodies within the states.
Indeed. this apparent aversion to a mill
tary establishment based as II was uoon
early experiences In our history, seems to
have furnished some ready leaders OF a
narrow political school opportunity and
r,retext for the fallacious doctrine that the
theory and principles OF our government
were from the beginning opposed to mill
tary Establishment of any kind. Despite
this doctrine. however. II must be admitted
by those who read tire constitution OF the
United States that congress was vested
with fullest powers ito raise ana support
armies and TO provide for creanizing
armiag and dsseiplinsng militia TO an ex-
tent not limited. That same instrument
made the president commander in chief OF
the army and navy OF the United States.
