SECRETARY GARRISON ASKS
CONGRESS TO RAISE ARMY
TOFULL FIGHTING STRENGTH.

Of the efficiency of the present army
Mr.. Garrison says:
while our existing organization is
of the exceedingly small numbers al
ready mentioned, it is unquestionably
in as excellent condition as any sim
liar number of men in any other mil
itary establishment in the world Were
it not for a desire to avoid insidious
comparisons should say that man for
man, it is better than any similar ex-
listing military establishment in the
world. l do not believe that anyone
will dispute the statement that the
Army has never been in better condi-
ton than it is today, from the most re-
Gently enlisted man up to the highest
officers. There is an esprit de corps,
an eagerness to constantly strive to-
ward perfection, a willingness to I'M
dertake and satisfactorily perform any
and every duty, that is most commend
able and encouraging"
Passing to the need for larger
army, regular and reserve, the Secre-
tary discusses at some length peace
and the use of the word "miiltarism, u
touching upon the mooted question of
whether military preparation tends to
prevent war.
ct is, of course, not necessary to
dwell on the blessings of peace and
the horrors of war;" he says. Every
one desires peace, just as every one
desires health, contentment, affection,
sufficient metaning for comfortable ex-
istence, and other similarly beneficient
things. But peace and the other states
of being mentions are not always or
even often solely within ones own
control 1t may truthly be said that
eternal vigilance is the price which
must be paid in order to obtain the de-
sirable things of life and to defend
them.
"In the early history of our nation
there was a natural, almost inevitable
adherence of military force, because
it connoted military despotism. Most
if not all, of the early settlers in this
country came from nations where a
few powerful persons tyrannically i'm
posed their will upon the people by
means of military power. Of course
all this has long since passed into his
tory. No reasonable person in this
country today has the slightest shadow
of fear of military despotism, nor OF
any interference whatever by military
force in the conduct of civil affairs.
ut also seems proper, in passing, to
refer to the frame of mind of those
who use the word militarism' as the
embodiment of the doctrine of brute
force and loosely apply it to any org
aniZed preparation of military force,
and therefore deprecate any adequate
military preparation because it is a
step in the direction of the condemned
'militarism' Every nation must have
adequate force to protect itself from
domestic instruction, to enforce its
laws, and to repel invasions; that is,

every nation that has similar charac-
teristics to those of a self-respecting
man. If it prepares and maintains
more military force than is necessary
for the purposes just named, then it is
subject to the conviction, in the public
opinion of the world, of having en-
braced 'militarism,' unless it intends
aggression for a cause which the pub
lie opinion of the world conceives to
be a righteous one. To the extent, how
ever, that it confines its military pre-
/ paredness to the purposes first men
toned, there is neither warrant nor
justification in characterizing such
action as 'militarism.'
Equally useless, in my view, is the
discussion frequently INDUCED in as to
whether military preparation tends or
such discussion useless becaue, so
far as we are concerned, whatever
conclusion might be reached thereon
would not affect our duty. Since it is
not in mind to suggest any military
preparation of the Nations resources
beyond that absolutely essential under
existing conditions, the question of
whether more extensive preparation
for the purpose of avoiding war would
have that effect or not is futile. Unless
and until the Congress of the United
States, representing the people of the
country, places on record the conclus-
ion of the people to the contrary, my
duty is, l think, entirely clear; and
that duty is to set forth the facts and
the necessities growing out Of the
facts, and suggestions as to the ways
and means of fulfilling such necessi-
ties.
What, then, does this Nation need
in the way of military preparedness?
Of course, l am not attempting to lay
down a counsel of Professionalism is,
an extensive scheme which is ideal in
it's completeness. Such a scheme
might we'll be considered and studied
and adopted after long study. But to
await the results of such a course
would be to continue the undesirable
situation in which we have so long
been. In my view, it is much better to
do those things which lie nearest at
hand and can be done than to remain
as we are, without moving along
proper lines until more comprehens-
i've and perfect scheme can be agreed
upon"
A table of the thirteen leading coun-
tries of the world showing area, pop
ulation peace strength of the army
and the total trained war strength is
included in the report. 1t discloses
that with an area and population sur
passed only by Great Britain and her
colonies and by Russia, the United
! States stands tenth in the peace FOOT
ing of her army and 18th in trained
reserves. Against Russia's 100000
trained men, the United States has
225,O00, including the Philippine
Scouts; and Belgium, with 10000 is
the only nation below that figure.
Switzerland, next above, has 5000,
Japan, 100000.
Whatever else may properly be
drawn from the facts as disclosed;"
the report says, "it can not be disputed
that 1t is imperative that we have in
this country very much larger per-
centage OF men who have had proper
military training and who are IN po-
sition to instantly respond to the call
of the Nation"
