What's to Be Donsf
The United States is now a world
power and we have heavy response
bihties. We should take a proper
measure of defense and not worry
about paying for it. We believe in
hiring our fighting done. The Euro
pean nations believe In doing it them
selves. The business mans camp in
New York got lot of publicity bait it
did much less than the militia has
done year after year. But the business
mems camp has been a great thing.

CONG. GUERNSEY'S f.
STAND FOR NATL
DEFENSE PLAIN

Portland, Me-, Oct. 25.-Hon. Frank
E. Guernsey. member of Congress from
the Fourth Maine District, passed
Sunday in Portland on his way to
Massachusetts,. where he is to partici-
pate in the campaign. Mr.. Guernsey is
very much interested in the national
defense program which is to be con-
sidered at the next session of Con-
gress. He says there is no doubt hut
what the Maine delegation will vote
soliuly for the army and navy increases
suggested by the administration and
they will do their utmost to see TO
it that steps are taken looking to pre-
par edness for national defense.
Il, conversation this morning, Mr..
Guernsey said that in view-of the fact
recently brought out that 80 per cent.
of all the manufacture of munitions of
war was included within small ter
ritory in the eastern section of the
country, he was in favor of the es-
tablishnent Of government factories Of
munitions in the interior farther ava
from the seaboard nd not so easily ac-
cessible to an enemy in case of war
The establishment of such institutions
need not be followed by their operation
by the government to interfere with eri-
vate enterprises except in case of ne
cessity. but the mills ana factories ought
to be all ready so that the government
could set them in operation at an hour S
notice If need should occur. To this end
ii is the purpose Of Mr.. Guernsey to in
troduce bill into Congress at the COM
ing session as a part of the National
defense program. for the safeguarding
OF this important matter in case var
with foreign country should breal;
out. e+ s.f.- t.f ss@T. r
Referring again to the attitude of the
Maine delegation toward the National
defense program, Mr. Guernsey said that
we in Maine are particularly and spe.
cially interested in having adequate de-
Tense, particularly naval defense. Maine
almost surrounded by foreign territory
and the most easterly State along the
Atlantic coast. would be sure to be the
roint OF attack in case of war with a
foreign country. What Maine needs is
adequate naval defense for her coasts
In such an unhappy event.
The congressman left for Boston this
noon and will speak every day this week
in the Massachusetts campaign.
