: Washington, Jan. 22.-Unqualifed
endorsement of the administrations
continental army plan was given to-
day by Henry L. Stimson, secretary of
war in the Taft administration in an
address before the National Security
league
Declaring himself in favor. of COM
puIsory universal military service as a
true solution of the situation, Mr.
Stimson said he regarded the problem
now advanced by Secretary Garrison
as the sound initial step.
sIf Congress- is not ready: to sane
ton universal training he says. s'the
measures which are enacted should be
those which, SO far as they go, are in
accord. with this great supplemental
duty and which, as time PASSES and
experience ripens, will lead MOST nat
uraIly to the establishment OF such a
system.
zone of the propositions which is
being seriously urged before Congress
is that we should pay our state militia
from the national treasury and should
attempt to develop them into our fed
era1 citizens army while they still re-
tain their legal character as a state
force. Four years ago when 1t was
clear that no other force of federal
reserves could be. obtained from Con
gress, reluctantly gave my approval
to a. pay bill in order to obtain the
advantages of training and discipline
which the measure provided. Fur
ther study of the subject and of the
situation evoked by the war have
made 1t clear to me that such 1egfs-
Iation would be a mistake
ssUnder the federal constitution the
national guard or organized militia is
primarily a state force instead Of 2
national reserve, and do not believe
that any effective national citizen army
can be created out of a force. dom
mated by 4s separate sovereignties-
For nearly IS years strenuous efforts
have been made by the federal gov
eminent as well as by the state author
tiles, to Increase the number of the
guard, yet it has remained nearly sta
tionary. The ratio of It's enlisttr1e nts
to our population is 50 far below that
IN other Eng1ish-speaking countries as
to make 1t clear that some fundaInen-
tai system would work.
What is even worse there has
era duality grown among our lapor1ng
classes, the feeling that the only sol-
diers with whom they are practical
" acquainted. are maintained for the
purpose OF being used against thena.
Finally, this liability to state police
duty has tended to shape the term OF
enlistment and tbs" training of our
military.

the regular army, our only present
