7. R. ASSA|LS WILSON
DEFENSE PROGRAM
Declares Real Needs Are Not
Met in Presidents Proposals
Two Needs Vital!

NEW YORK. Nov. H. - Theodore
roosevelt. In an article. In the January
number Of the Metropolitan. attacked
president Wilson's plan for prepared
ness. asserting that the real needs ara
not met in the Presidents proposals.
ne outlined his own plan for prepared
ness. He said:
Ihere are .wo Immediately vital
needs OF this nation:
l. Ihat our navy shall. at the earliest
possible moment be made the second in
tne world In point of size and efficiency.
mat our regular army shall be in.
creased to at least quarter of a NIL
non men; with an ample reserve Of men
" "1 nc eon,n U De at once put In the ranks
IN tne event or sudden attack upon
US. and provision made for many times
the present number OF officers: and in
aamhlnistriation sd,,nh1l.,i provision made for q
rigid economy that will begin with the
abandonment of the many Useless army
posts and navy yards.
Navy Has Fallen Off.
Neither OF these needs 10 in any wav
met by the Presidents proposals. I
am sincerely glad that he has now re.
versed the attitude taken in his mes.
sage to Congress 4 year ago. in which
he advocated keeping this nation un-
prepared and helpless to defend its
honor and vital interest against foreign
foes. But i no less sincerely regret
that he has not thought out the situa-
real and substantial plan Tor defense.
During the last three years our
navy has fallen of .appallingly in
relative position among the nations.
The Administration now proposes a
next Administration. which. II here.
place the navy where 1t formerly was
In Ave years time-a plan which in
s,b9d resi.y Hnsn Is merely an .d5ois
in the present This will not do. There
should be no policy of adroit delay and
make.believe action. Our Government
should make prcvisions this year which
place at the earliest possible moment
The work should begin on a large scale
at once. This is Of the FIRST impor-
| tance.
Should Prepare Adequately.
But 1t is also vital to bring the army
abreast of national needs. The proposed
plan to create q rival national guard
OF half-trained or Quarter-trained vol
unteers-for that is what the absurdly
named continental army would
amount tomif @ tried; de viii prove very e.-
Ing national guard. and entirely use
less from the standpoint of meeting the
real needs OF the country. II would put
a business premium on the unpatroitic
| employer. who would not permit his
men to take part in It
1T would be much wiser TO spend the
money in increasing the size and
efficiency OF the national guard. The
proposed increase in the size of the
regular army Is utterly inadequate to
serve any real purpose. 1t Is one ct
those half measures which are Of ser.
vice, II at all. only from the political
standpoint. Either we need to prepare
or we do not. If We do. then we should
prepare adequately"
