SUGGESTS BROAD PLAN
FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE.
Increase Standing Regular Force-Four
Hundred Thousand Citizen Soldiers.

But war has never been a mere mat
ter of men and guns. 1t is thing
of disciplined might If our citizens
are ever to fight effectively upon a
sudden summons, they must know
how modern fighting is done, and what
TO do when the summons comes to
render themselves Immediately avail
able and Immediately effective. And
the government must be their servant
in this matter, must supply them with
the training they need to take care of
themselves and of it. The military
arm of their government. which they
will not allow to direct them, they may
properly use TO serve them and make
their independence secure. and not
their own independence merely, but
the rights also of those with whom
they have made common cause, should
they also be put In jeopardy. They
must be fitted to play the great role
in the world. and particularly in this
hemisphere, for which they are quail
fed by principle and by chastened am
bition to play.
1t is with these ideals in mind that
the plans of the department of war for
more adequate national defense were
conceived which will be laid before
you, and which l urge you to sanction
and put into effect as soon as they can
be properly scrutinlzed and discussed
They seem TO me the essential first
steps, and they seem to me for the

are the additions necessary to render
the army adequate for its present du-
ties, duties which 1t has to perform
not only upon our own continental
coasts and borders and at our interior
army posts. but also In the Philippines.
in the Hawaiian Islands. at the 18TH
mus and In Porto Rico.
By way of making the country ready
to assert some part Of its real power
promptly and upon a larger scale
should occasion arise the plan also
eontemplates supplementing the army
by a force of 100000 disciplined citi
zens, raised In increments Of 133,000 a
wear throughout a period of three
years This 1t is proposed to do by a
process of enlistment under which the
serviceable men of the country would
be asked to bind themselves to serve
with the colors for purposes OF train
ing for short periods throughout three
years and to come to the colors at call
at any time throughout an additional
"furlough" period of three years. This
force of 100000 men would be pro
vided with personal accouterments as
fast as enlisted and their equipment
for the field made ready 20 be supplied
at any time. They would be assem-
bled for training at stated intervals at
convenient places In association with
suitable units Of the gular army.
Their period of annual training would
not necessarily exceed two months in
the year.
The president says 1t Is up to the
patriotic young men Of the country to
respond to this call.

enthusiasm for individual liberty and
free national development to the Incl
dents and movements of affairs which
affect only ourselves. We feel it wher-
ever there is people that tries to walk
in these difficult paths of independence
and right. From the first We have
made common cause with all partisans
of liberty on this side the sea and have
deemed 1t as important that our neigh
bors should be free from all outside
domination as that we ourselves should
be; have set America aside as whole
for the uses of independent nations and
political freemen.
Out of such thoughts grow all our
policies. We regard war merely as
means of asserting the rights of peo-
pie against aggression. And we are
as fiercely Jealous Of coercive or dicta-
torial power within our own nation
as of aggression from without. We
will not maintain a standing army ex-
cept for uses which are as necessary
in times of peace as in times of war.
