which called forth the report on the
army's unprepardness suppressed by
| President Taft, Representative James
McLachlan of California is declared
| by war department officials to be re-
sponsible through his criticism of
| the army, for the present giant
maneuvers. He prepared the follow
ing statement today for the United
Press:
BY Representative James McLach-
Ian.
While | regret that the maneuvers
are not to be held on the Pacific
coast. which. in the difficulties Of
transportation for men, equipment
and supplies, would have been a
much more severe test for the or
ganiation of our military forces and
one much more likely to occur. yet,
the mobilization of practically our en-
tire mobile force on the Mexican Dor
der, i'm a measure ls a fair test of
the efficiency of our staff depart
ments.
l have at different times pointed
out that the intervening desert be-
tween the Rocky Mountains and the
Pacific coast constitutes a great ma
tlonal menace in case of an attempt
ed invasion of the Pacific coast, pre-
venting as II would the speedy mo-
blization of troops and supplies.
In "A mobilization on the Mexican
frontier such difficulties of transpor
tation as would be met with on the
Pacific coast will not be encountered.
However, ! cannot find words to ex-
press my qualification that the mill
tary authorities have decided to put
the present machinery of our war
establishment to a real test.
IF this is. in fact, an answer to
NY criticisms of the organization Of

If its mobile forces to place "A single

carry this feat through to "A success
ful issue.
This In itself carried lesson. 1t Is
my sincere hope that at the conclu-
sion of this maneuver the military
authorities will frankly make public

developed. Congress can then intelli
gently take up the matter of army
