PREPAREDNESS OUR SAF AFECUARD
 SAYS SETH LOW
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Appeals
 for support of an adequate national preparedness policy, voiced by half a dozen speakers, featured the opening
 session today of the National Civic
 Federation. President Seth LOW started the discussion in his opening address with his declaration that If the United States is to prevent the antagonism and hate of Europe anu it's age-long traditions of empire from finding iodgment OF this continent after the war. it must be by the strength of our own right arm and by the willingness to die for what is certainly precious to ourselves and what we believe to be no less precious to humanity
 Whatever may be the outcome of
 the war, Mir. Low said. it's results could not be less than revolutionary upon the life of the world.
 If militarism triumphs," he added,
 the Americas. like Europe, must bow
 their necks to the yoke of militarism, which will give to the soldier, rather lHdn to lHe ClllIen, the UOlnlndllOn of the future
 Assistant Secretary Breckinridec | of the war department. speaking in
 the place of Secretary Garrison, de-
 tained in New York. assailed oppo-
 ncnts of preparedness in an address | tO the wOmen's department.
 Tt has been alleged that women
 are against preparedness" he said. | "I believe that is a lie. There is something worse than war r-dishonor
 If you think that the preachment of
 dishonor lately has made no inroad
 in this country you are greatly mis- | taken. For the last four years the l insane advocates of pOltroonery and
 cowardice have not worked in vain.' Dr. Woods Hutchinson. discussing industrial hygiene. asserted that we 1 live twice as long, die more than a third less frequently, are sick only
 two fifths as often. and have three times as much money to spend as thirty yeaIs ago.

 The discussion centered upon an amendment to the pending bill, offered by Senator Clarke of Arkansas, pro- posing that the United States with draw from the Philippines within two years and guarantee their integrity pending the negotiation of a five-year agreement with all nations for their independence.
 Members of the Philippines commit tee disclosed that they had talked over the possibility of international neutra- lization and had passed it over as a matter with which the foreign rela- tions committee should decide. Sena- ter Shrafton, author of a resolution authorizing the president to begin such negotiations, said he expected to ap- pear before the latter committee soon.
 Senator Stone, chairman of the for eign relations committee, said he fav- Ored an amendment to the bill along the line suggested by Senator Clarke, but would have the term of the treaty at least twenty years.
 Senator POindexter declared the American people had passed upon the question of granting complete inde- pendence several times and always had opposed it.
 Chairman Hitchcock of the Philip pines committee, after call at the White House during the day, said the petition did not favor the Clerke resolution.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-In an appeal to the people of the United States to organize in support of a systematic national defense was voiced by Lind ley M. Garrison, secretary of war, in an address tonight at the annual ban Quet of Group Eight of the New York State Bankers Association. Group Eight is composed of the bankers of New York city.
 Secretary Garrison declared that the opposition to national defense is well organized and that unless the people of the country urged upon congress that they desire adequate national de- fense the present system, which the speaker said was utterly inefficient" !" would be retained
 National defense, the secretary stat ed, must rest upon national forces. Unity of responsibility, authority and control, is the essential principle of all military affairs, he said A real mili- tary policy, Secretary Garrison assert = ed, must be continental in scope and the federal government must be in author ity. All proposals, he said to build a military system for the United States upon the basis of state troops are pro- posals to continue a situation that is lll-usery and not real, that is a shame and not substantial, that is a mOckery and not honest"
 The secretary said that while there IS disagreement among military ex- perts as to the particular number of troops needed, all views agree upon the | a1 should be national troops. There must ] be, he continued, a regular standing army and organized federal troops sub | Ject to instant call This, he said 1 has been called a continental army i In support of this principle, said the 1 secretary, there must be cohesive or 1 ganization to combat the elements sup ! porting system founded upon troops under state authority.
 i He said:
 You cannot possibly have any mili- tary system worthy of the name, based l upon forty eight separate armies. op- eratinG under forty eight separate [ commanders in chief.
 That is our present system or more 1 properly speaking, lack of system.
 Let the supporters of real militar, system agree that whatever forces the
 nation has to rely upon shall be raised

 tions will be worked out in due time
