will also give the government a body
Of trained men to draw from In case
IL is necessary TO defend our flag and
country. We must settle this question |
OF universal military trimming imIne-
dlniely. otherwise these training camps
may be demolished. The adoption of
universal military training will be no

We will be prepared to defend our

this will do more to keep US out Of
war In the future than anything else
We could do"
