Tasker II Bliss. now assistant chief Of
staff
For Universal Training.
General Bliss, like the present chief
OF staff, is a strong believer in universal
military training In discussing the
new army oantonments recently he
said
There is considerable significance
and historical Justice in the fact that
one OF these cantonmcnts. that at Yap-
hank on Long Island is named after
Gen. Emory Upton, who wrote that
most useful work on fnc military policy
Of the United States, demonstrating
that this country never had had an
adequate military policy that in all It's
wars, beginning with the revolution, il
had suffered from the shortcomings OF
the volunteer system, from short-term
enlistments OF green men who had to
be discharged as soon as they learned
how to be useful, from having to de-
pend upon militia OF all stages OF in
efficiency, and from unpreparedness in
all its forms.
Meets All But One Criticism.
The present system which has gone
into effect with the opening OF the
can,onments. meets all of General
Upton's criticisms, with one exception.
II has been adopted merely as an emer-
gency measure for the purpose OF the
present war and not yet as con-
,nuouS policy of the nation for com
pulsory training. The gist Of General
upton's criticism was that the country
had no continuing military policy tc
assure the readiness for defense at ali
times. TO provide preparation for war in
times Of peace by having a constantly
rcplenished force OF trained men in the
country to do the fighting when nee
essary and to do it without delay 1t
was Just such continuing policy that
the war college worked out two years
ago, and the plans then formulated in
time OF peace for compulsory, country
wide military training as a permanent
enterprise Of the nation have now been
adopted, under pressure OF war, as a
temporary, emergency measure. II
General Upton were alive, he would
say; Make this plan permanent thing,
and the United States will have a mill
