Mr.. Hull spiritedly declared that it was
a crime to permit such allegations TO pass

military critics in the United States than
in all the rest Of the world.
Mr. Hull said the government had been
for some years accommodating reserve am

for small arms, all that the country needed
to accumulate in public defense, was al
ready In reserve and more could be manu-
featured as rapidly as needed. He said
that $4,000 improved Springfield rifles and
