Just as it is now obstinately shut
ting its eyes to the need of industrial
preparedness, for three years the Will
son administration refused to see the
need Of adequate military prepared
ness. With war on our southern bor-
der It was content to rely on a regular
army that could only muster 10000
available men and refused to continue
the established policy Of building up
our navy. When the time came for ac-
tion the country had not sufficient
troops to police the border, and this
force has been supplemented by trife
more than one-third the war strength
Of the national guard. If the national
administration had had the ability to
interpret the signs of the time military
preparedness would have been well un-
der way instead of barely begun.
