California Senator Would Create Force of Soldier
tiers to Protect Nation from Any Asiatc Attacks

Washington Dec. Ex-senator Works of
California told the Senate today that Il
standing army of 100000 would be nee es-
sary to defend the United States AGAINST
possible invasions and declared that the
Pacific coast was completely at the mer-
cy of Asiatic attacks.
Senator Works spoke on the subject
Of national defence but particularly to
propose as part of the scheme of pre-
parednesS the creation of a mobile land
force and military reserve of 100000 men
at cost of $50, coo a year for 10 years
How Could Be Attained
The proposed enlisted men in the civil
and military reserve would he settled.
according to the Works bill, with their
families, on comfortable tive-acre tracts
ing 10 months of productive work at re-
forestation, irrigation and flood preven-
ton with two months of military train
ing each year. They would be soldier
settlers under control of the secretary of
the interior in times of peace and subject
to orders of the war department in times
of war
Pointing to American occupation OF
Vera Cruz as an Indication that war was
a constant possibility. Senator Works
said:

other nation and the forcble invasion OF
its territory for so trivial a cause, that
this nation does not need to prepare for
war" If Mexico had not been weak from
internal conflict, we would even then
hav been at war. for our forcible entry
upon her territory was itself an act OF
war.
There are enough Japanese i'll Califor-
MIA now to man and destroy every line
of communication from the East. isolat-
ing California and depriving her of all
aid in troops and ammunitions. Mexico
IS open to the entry of the Japanese and
once there it is but a step across an in
visible boundary into the United States.
'"The plan to add 100000 men to our
present army is danferous step In the
wrong direction.
IF we are to be consistent we must
either put the army on a war footing of
at least a million men or turn TO more
efficient means of defence
Outlining the scope of his bill, Senator
Works declared a million families could
be recruited from the tenement districts
of the great cities alone and settled on
homestead tracts in the West at less
cost than is now spent in the annual
food wastes of the Mississippi and with
two month energetic military training
provide a reserve force insuring prepar-
edness against invasion but also against
the forces of flood and fire.
