Mr.. TAFT SHOWS NEED
FOR GREATER DEFENSE
Differs With Bryan and Roosevelt
But "0n the Whole" Favors Pres
ident Wilson's Plan.

CHICAGO, December 10.-Importance
of the United States as a world power
and the necessity for preparedness for
defense were emphasized by William
Howard Taft in an address yesterday
before the Chicago Association of Com
merce. The former Preident declared
in favor of President Wilson's pre-
paredness plan. Continuing his ad-
dress, he said:
'I differ with Mr.. Bryan and Mr.
Roosevelt on the question of prepared
ness. Mr.. Bryan is opposed to all pre-
paredness. He says we can get an
army of a million men between sunrise
and sunset. I think he is wrong.
Mr.. Roosevelt characterizes those Of
US who favor the League of Peace
as men who are 'prattling' about It..
He says we need a great standing
army The truth Is when Roosevelt
gets talking about warlike matters he
comes up as Mars does over the hori-
zon, red in color. and we must take his
statements with that in view.
On the whole, I favor President Will
sons plan for preparedness"
No Longer Isolated, He Says.
I'VE are no longer an isolated con-
tinental nation, but world power,
said Mr.. Taft. I'VE have interests in
the Philippines. Hawaii. Alaska, Pan
anna. Cuba and Porto Rico. and must be
prepared to protect these interests
against every possible contingency.
1.-The Monroe doctrine, which has
stood for ninety years. is a movable
policy and may be enforced by this
country just as far as it may be deem
ed wise. If the South American repub-
lies join with us in enforcing this doc
trine all the better"
Mr.. Taft denied a report that he was
supporting Elihu Root for the repub-
lican nomination for President. II said
that believed Mr.. Root.to be the best
equipped man in the country for Pres,
dent" said Mr.. Taft. II did not mean
to convey the impression that I was
working for his nomination"
Mr.. Taft in an address last night sug-
gested the abolition of one great crop
of political plums. namely postmasters.
He added that the government could
save 100000 a year by doing away
