SWEHSON ELATED
BY DEFENSE WORK
PRESIDENT OF STATE COUNCIL
RETURNS FROM CONFERENCE
AT WASHINGTON.
WISCONSIN is IN THE LEAD
Badger Plan Being Put Into Operation
as Part of Program to Cooperate
With National Defense
Council

Madison-Magnus Swenson, presi-
dent of the state council Of defense,
has returned from Washington, d. c.,
where he attended conference OF
members of President Wilson's cabinet
and representatives of defense bodies
from forty-six out of forty-eight states.
During his visit in the national CAPT.
toll, Mr.. Swenson called On President
Wilson and United States Senator
Paul o. Husting.
1.-THE president addressed US briefly"
said he, 'as to the importance of CO.
operation with the federal government
in the general program Oh defense. Mr..
Wilson appears to be in excellent
health, in fact, l never saw him look
great responsibilities of these grave
times do not seem to be wearing on
him. He made no reference to the
war, except with respect to the work
of the defense councils"
Mr.. Swenson said that Wisconsin's
position is being cleared up despite the
attitude of Senator La Toilette and
other members of congress from this
state. Some sections of the east, he
said, still entertain the idea that Sen
ator La Toilette may be representing
the sentiment of Wisconsin, but the at
titude of Senator Husting and Con-
gresham Lenroot is doing much to
place this state in the right light.
In tie conference on the work of de-
Tense councils, it developed, said Mr..
SWenson, that Wisconsin has made
greater Roadway than any other sec
ton of the country, and the Badger
state plan is being put into operation
all over the land as part of the pro-
gram to cooperate with the national
council of defense. Mr.. Swenson re-
turns with the knowledge that the
work of modifying resources here is
being carried on in a manner that
meets the approval of Washington au-
thorities, which means that the coun-
Gil will proceed with more enthusiasm
than ever.
