NATION NOT
READY FOR WAR
Secretary DiCkinSOn'S Report
Shows That We Are
Entirely Unprepared
INCREASE In THE
ARMY FORCE REQUESTED

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.-It became
known here today that the War De-
partment in answer to the resolution
by Representative McLachlan, of Cali
fornia. reported to the House that the
United states is wholly unprepared
for war; that the United States lacks
the right kind of men in its army;
that it needs guns: needs ammunition
and absolutely requires a vast in
crease in the numbe- of mobile troops
and thereafter requires increased
fortifications.
This is the official answer of the
War Department, prepared by General
Leonard Wood, chief of staff, and
passed upon by Secretary of War
Dickinson. In reply to McLachlan's
l. questioning whether the United States
could withstand invasion Of the Pa
cifc by an Asiatic power, the answer,
in flank terms amounts In substance
to the strong negative no"
Many representatives have read the
report, and are displeased at the at
titude OF the War Department in try
ing TO hold it in confidence" by send
ing it TO the House under such re-
strictions.
confidence" asked McLachlan today.
Such action would defeat the whole
purpose of the resolution. What we
demand is that the people of the
United States be taken into the con-
fidence of the government. If we are
unprepared for war, the people have
right TO know it.
1T would be a crime against the
people of the United States and be-
trayal of posterity to deceive the
people as to the true situation.
IF we have no adequate army and
no adequate national defense, now is
the time, when we are at peace with
the world. to make it known. Now Is
the time to correct the situation be-
fore it Is too late. The people have
the right to know and they must
know. 1 will fight to a finish to force
the full publication of this report"
Many other representatives, includ-
ing Richmond P. Hobson, who is par
ticularly interested, agree with Nc
Lachlan and believe that any further
concealment Of the report would be
inexcusable.
