QUOTES PKLolLEN1 y SPEECH
AGAINST BIG ARMY.

! Washington, Dec. C.-(Iongressman
Martin Dies was the CHIEF speaker at an
anti-preparedness meeting held at Bal
timore last ngnt. Dies announced him
self for reasonable preparedness but
against hateful militarlsm. He declared
the country to be amply prepared to take
care of itself and provide with an ex-
cellent army, navy and coast defenses.
In support of his position he quoted at
length from admi1a!S and army officers
and experts who have appeared before
congressional aporopriatons committees
as well as the chairmen of those commit
tees in their speeches in congress. He
also quoted President Wilson, saying:
Gust one brief year ago | sat in the
halls of congress and I heard the pres
ident of the United States-God bless
him: he has rendered us a great service
in keeping us out Of this awful war in
Europe, and now l want you to help
me to render him great service by
keeping him out If this doctrine of hate
ful militarism. 1t was On the eighth day
of December. last session year ago, II
heard these majestic words:
1--WE are at peace with all the world
M ono who r~asts council ba-ed on
facts and candid Interpretation of reality
can say that there is reason to fear that
from anv quarter our Inhabitants or the
integrity of our territor- is threatened
Here Congressman Dies remarked
"Well. it is true today" Then he con
tinued to quote the rresidan+ ae follow
GIVE never have had. and while we
retain our present PRINCIPLES and ideals |
we never shall have a large standing
So far as the Texas delegation in the
house is concerned, it now appears that
the members will be about equally di-
vided in support of the oiginal ADMIN
istration preparedness program. Tho,e
who have announced themselves as being
UT alterably opposed to the program as it
is generally understood are Representa-
tives, Stephens, Dies, Hardy, Young,
Buchanan, Galloway Davis and Rayburn
All of these men do not say they are op-
posed to reasonable preparedness against
war, but none favor entirely the plans
outlined through the war and navv de
oartments. The remaining ten members
