posed in joint resolution introduced
in the House by Representative Gard

returned from the war zone in Europe.

statement accompanying the resolu-
ton, because / know that a public
search will open the eyes of Ameri-
cans to situation which is being con-
cealed from them. The United States
is totally unprepared for war, de-
fensive or offensive, against a real

Mr.. Gardner, referring to the pros

understand ''how any intelligent stu

are impotent to defend ourselves to in
force the Monroe Doctrine by moral
suasion and financial might alone"
"The time has not yet come" he as
serted, when the United States can
afford to allow the martial spirit of
her sons to be destroyed, and all the
Carnegie millions in the world will not
silence those of us who believe that
bullets cannot be stopped with bonn
bast nor powder vanquished by plati-

Mr.. Gardner further declared in his
statement that in respect to the pres

he had some personal insight. having
been in the zone of conflict his views
were mot those of neutral"
