Gardner Demands Action
on Military Inquiry Bill
MASSACHUSETTS, representative Sends Letter Urging House
committee Hearings in December on the In
preparedness of This Country for War
NATIONAL DEFENCE LOOMS AS A BIG ISSUE

WASHINGTON. Nov. "a strenuous eff
fort will be made by Representative A.
y. Gardner OF Massachusetts, Repub.
lican, TO force the House Committee on
Rules TO order progress on his resolu-
ton for an investi cation of the national
defences.
In a speech delivered just before the
adjournment of Congress a few weeks
ago Mr.. Gardner charged that the United
states was in lamentable state OF I'M
preparedness for war.
Mr.. Gardner discussed the subject at
great length in tho recent campaign.
He declared that his reelection by a ma
jority OF more than 1900 over his
Democratic pponent shows that the ma
tional defence issue was Endorsed by the
people of his district:
Mr.. Gardner adore sed a letter to-day
TO Chairman Henry of the Rules Com
mittee in which h asked that two days
in December be assigned by that com
mittee To hearings on the national de-
fence question.
Many civilians will be present to
testify and many army and navy officers
have expressed their readiness to do
likewise unless the Administration shall
feel that the public interest requires that
officers be forbidden TO commen: on the
situation at this time" wrote Mr.. Gard
ner.
In regard to his letter to Mr.. Henry
Mr.. Gardner said that he had received
letters from all over the country con-
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-11-10

corning his resolution, four-flfths OF the
letters indorsing the measure.
II have received many letters from
persons who claim TO be Democrats ex-
pressing great concern over President
Wilson's attitude and expressing fear lest
his great power may be used to draw
the veil of silence over the situation"
said Mr.. Gardner.
Personally. | have enough confidence
in the Presidents good Judgment to feel
no such apprehension. During the cam.
paiRn just closed spoke continually on
the need of an investigation into the ade-
quacy OF our army and navy and freely
expressed my opinion that we were ut
terly unprepared to defend ourselves IL
attacked by real power.
II do not pretend to any especial
astuteness, but IL required no subtlety
to discern the very solemn feeling which
pervaded my audiences. II there were
any way Of proving II I should cheerfuily
wager my political future that the sentl-
ment of the people overwhelmingly favorJ
the creation OF AN army and navy alb
solutey and unduestionably adequate for
our defence against any nation upon
earth"
Evidence Is accommodating here that this
question OF an increased army and navy
win be one OF the most prominent before
the next Congress. Vice-President Mar
shall in a speech night or two ago said
that the United States must hav. in
creases in both arms Of the military SER
vice and Representative Mann has indi-
Gated that he believes this will I've one
OF the big issues in the next Presidential
campaign.

DEGREES in Mexico. as the convention had
voted him out OF Office and had chosen
his successor.
With this quarrel at the beginning OF
their supposed peace meetings. II II
not believed here that the prospect ~
the committee making any Roadway with
CarranZn is particularly improved.
According to accounts reaching here.
though these are not yet confirmed at the
state Department, Carranza's decree an
nounces that the taxes collected by the
American officials at Vera Cruz will not
he reimposed when the city Is turned
over to the MeNicans
With regard to the guarantees for tho
protection OF all foreigners and other refu-
gees i'm Vera Cruz and their property, and
pa .tlcularlv for the protection OF MeNi-
cans who have been aiding the American
Administration, the CarranZa decree -
said to be most unsatisfactory
He declares, II IL said, that as the
merchants OF Vera Cruz nave signed
netition asking the American forces 10
withdraw they can hardly be regarded
I'm the light OF seeking protection al the
hands of. Or through the intercess'on or
the United States. ,
In regard TO this petition opinion
here is that powerful influences must
have been at work among the merchants
netitiou TO Gen. Funston to leave, for u
is common knowledge that the stay OF
tho Americans there can hardly ne TOO
prolonged to suit tho business interests.
In any event II is doubted nero mat
tho Administration will accept this de-
rrec even IL CarranZa retains ms once
Carranzs's Defiance Expected.
The state Department has not received
any word to Indicate whether or not Gar :
rauza intends to bow to tho orders or
