his declaration hat the United States
should not attempt to send any troops

On the subject of censorship in the
event the United States enters the war,
Mr.. Palmer counselled the appointment
of a chief civilian censor with army
and navy officers for assistants and the
publication of all possible details in
connection with the army Inasmuch
al an army must be recruited from The
people, he told the officers, the people
must be recognized as part of it and
must be given any information which
would not be of military value to any
