NO FEDERALIZING
OF THE HOME GUARD

'sThis talk of tfederalizing the Home
Guard, or Transforming 1t into Ma
tional Guard, is all nonsense. 1t would
be just as sensible to talk of federal
ling the Free Masons or the knights
Of Columbus. The government has
as much authority to do SO with any
fraterna1 organization as it has with
the Home Guard. No one has any in
tention to attempt to change or inter-
fere in any way with the Home Guard.
Any such intention. if there were any,
could not be put into effect"
The foregoing is given as accurately
summarizing the sentiment obtain
ing in official circles Of the Home
Guard.
Along the same line and vouched
for in the same way. is the following:
1.-THE Connecticut Home Guard was
organized by the Military Emergency
Board, appointed by the Governor
under authority Of an act Of the Con-
necticut General Assembly Board,
acting with the Governor, was given
full and exclusive authority for the
organization and main tenance Of the
Home Guard. Neither the United
States government nor any one ex-
cept General Assembly of this state
can order or change or any way dis
turb the Home Guard or its activi-
ties in any way. 1t is and will remain
a state force"

sentiment is thought to be desirable
In Connecticut by your department
That you will, before commencing the
same, communicate with him or with

Governor Holcomb's letter to these
officials follow:
Connecticut Is a small state b,1t
has been and is extremely active in
all matters pertaining to the conduct
Of the war. It is not only furnishing
very large fraction of all the NUM-

Is purchasing but has distinguished
itself by largely oversubscribing Lib
srty Loan assignments. Red Cross
| and z. M G. A. funds and in all the
other tasks which it has been called
upon to perform.
THE reason why the state has thus
| far succeeded so well is that II is
thoroughly organized for war pur.
poses and this organization under the
direction Of our State Council of De.
Tense IS being perfected every day
Any new activity which is thought tc
be desirable by any department OF
| the government or of the Council OF
| National Defense can best succeed in
Connecticut If 1t be carried or
through the instrumentalities now ex.

activities are inaugurated from Wash.

writer desires in case any new activit,
or attempt to organize public sentt
ment is thought to be desirable IL
