this recommendation will be made to

recommendation to Congress, even
when it enjoys the belated approval
of the President, is far from the ac-

Representative Gardeners resolution

investigate the military condition Of

many abuses and defects, some 1T
which had been of long standing. So
sternly did President Wilson set his
face against this all important pre-
liminary step and against what he
chose to regard as the danger of mill
tarism, and so little support did Mr..
Wilson give his Secretary of War, that
it will be difficult for the Executive to
persuade his followers in Congress that
