auspices of opponents of extreme pre-
paredness, was addressed b. Congress
man Martin Dies Of Louisiana, and C..
II. Tavenner of Illinois, and Oswald
Garrison Willard, editor OF the New

Congressman Dies cited recent ut

military authorities in support OF his
contention that this government is not
an unprepgred nation.
Too great preparation of the

stead of into Preparedness"
MIR. Willard said that the policy OF
preparedness now being advocated by
President Wilson whether it be nee
