WASHINGTON, Dec l6.--'The most
important single thing about the ques-
ton OF military preparedness OF the
United States is to have the people
of the country themselves voice their
opinion as TO what kind OF preparation
they want" said Representative vii.
liam j. Macdonald. OF Michigan dis
cussing his resolution just introduced
into the house.
The Macdonald resolution is In the
.rauure OF a substitute for the one in
produced by Representative A. p.
Gardner, OF Massachusetts.
My resolution differs from the
Gardner resolution" explained Mr..
Macdonald. Mr.. Gardeners resolution
provides for the appointment OF
commission OF nine experts To look
into our military preparedness and
simply TO make such recommendations
as In its judgment may seem proper.
In place OF these words. my resolu-
tion proposes that this military com
mission shall formulate three alterna-
tive projects for military and naval
equipment. designed 10 carry out three
alternative military policies. These
might be called the small medium
sized. and large military policies. The
first OF these would maintain the pres
ent military and naval force or the
United States without substantial in
crease until such time as the United
States could take up the question with
the European powers of universal dis
armament. or the creation OF an inter
national naval police. The second pol
icy would be TO provide for the ade-
quate defense OF the United States.
including Its present possessions. IL
would also provide for the mainte-
nance OF the Monroe doctrine by means
of treaties with the Central and South
American nations providing for Pan
American naval police. The third pol.
icy would provide not only for the
defense OF the country. but would he
large enough 10 guarantee American
property rights In foreign countries.
IL would also preserve the Monroe
doctrine through the action OF the
United States alone. and without re-
gard to the attitude OF the other Pan
American nations"

Macdonald.
