these conditions and offers a proper re-
turn for the pay which 1t Is proposed to
give to the National Guard. 1 believe
that its enactment into law would be
very long step toward providing this
nation with a first line of citizen SOL
diery. upon which its main reliance
must depend in case of any national
emergency. Plans for the organization
of the National Guard into tactical divi-
