OREGON SENATOR FAVORS
INCREASED PREPAREDNESS
Chairman Chamberlain of Military
Affairs Committee Here to Con-
fer With President.

Senator Chamberlain of Oregon,
chairman of the Senate committee on
military affairs. reached Washington
today and will confer tomorrow with
President Wilson on the question of
increased preparedness for the United
States.
Senator Chamberlain today said he
was one of the original advocates Of
better preparedness.
Il believe that the opposition to such
preparedness will grow less and less
as time goes on" he said.
He said 1t was essential the Panama
canal. the Philippine Islands and the
Hawaiian Islands should be fully gar
risoned at all times. The islands. he
said, were the first line of defense of
the Pacific coast. If the Panama canal
fell into hostile hands it would make
the United States navy just half as
effective as it is with the canal operat-
ing under the United States.
