Confidence In Wilson.

I'VE are confident that President Will

TO the problem OF preparedness, and is
endeavoring to approach the question
with the aid OF the best expert advice

a simple one. as the question Of proper
legislation is extremely difficult. We are
a commercial and not a military peo-
pie. and cannot on any legisla-
ton which will unduly burden US with
taxation or develop into mllitarism. The
people want the country protected and
will not stand for legislation that
more or less.
AS TO the navy. the situation Is rather
different. for II is apparent that we must
fully protect ourselves against attack
from abroad
ITO assure prorer protection, those
who believe IN preparedness should
promptly express their views. and from
the response We have hdd We are con-
hdeut tha, II they do so each Congress
