would have been best to ignore
or reverse them. The cross-cur-

IL would be presuming in me to

me to play as the represents tives

Dictated by q. 9. Role
That was dictated by the role
America had played in the war
and by the expectations that had
been created in the minds Of the
peoples with whom We had as
sociated ourselves in that great
struggle.
The United States entered the
war upon a different footing
from every other nation except
our associates on this side the
sea- We, entered II. rsc because
our material interests were d.,
rectly threatened or because any
special treaty obligations TO
which we were parties had be en-
violated. but only because we
saw the supremacy, and even the
validity, of right everywhere put
in jeopardy and free government
likely to be everywhere imperiled
by the intolerable aggression of
a power which respected neither
right nor obligation and whose
very system of government
flouted the rights OF the citizen
as against the autocratic author
ity of his governors. And in the
settlements of the peace we have
sought no special reparation for
ourselves. but only the restora-
tion of right and the assurance
Of liberty everywhere that the
effects of the settlement were to
be felt. We entered the war as
the disinterested champions OF
right and we interested ourselves
in the terms OF the peace in no
other capacity.
The hopes OF the nations al
lied against the central powers
were at a very low ebb when
our soldiers began to pour

SERVICE IN
ARMY URGED
BY PERSH|NC

General Pershing today declared
for universal military training.
Universal training brings many
benefits, and such benefits should be
universally extended to all Of our
young men," he said.
Appears Before Committees.
Pershing appeared before q joint
meeting of the House and Senate Mil
itary Affairs Committees to outline
his views on the permanent military
policy of the United States.
The A. e. F. chief recommended
that the broad powers of army reor-
ganization allowed the President dur
ing war time be continued in peace
This is in accord with the General
STAFF view.
Such powers are necessary in time
of war" he said, and would be wise
IN time of peace with the limitation
that the President could not estab-
lish or discontinue bureaus
The number of general stan officers
provided for in the army bill Is ex-
cessive, he said.
He predicted a great future for the
air service and said that France,
stress on this phase of the army. He
declared that the United States would
make a very big mistake in allow
ing our aircraft department to fall
behind"
DETERMINATION Brought Victory.
II America had not been unprepared
our rights would not have been vio.
lated, Pershing said. and added that
this cauntry's success in the war was
due to the united determination of
the people rather than to any fore
thought in preparedness.
The war has placed this country In
a new light" Pershing said. 'Tt is
no longer measured by wealth, by
population. nor by our form of gov
ernment, but by our purposes to main.
tain high ideals"
A standing army'of 275,o0o to 800. 900
men is ample for the peace-time needs
of the United States, Pershing de-
clared.
what He Favors.
The program. Pershing declared.
should include:
A permanent military establishment
large enough to provide against sud-
den attack.
- sfndll IOTce sufuclent Tor expe-
| ditoinary purposes to meet our In
ternationsl purposes particularly on
the American continent.
Forces sufficient to cope with any
internal disturbances
A trained citizen reserve organized
to meet the emergency of war.
Outlining the benefit which he be-
lieved would result from adoption of
UNIVERSAL military training. Pershing
included: Development of physical
visor and manhood. development of
mentality. decrease of iiliteracy,
teaching of discipline and respect for
constituted authority, and develop
ment of initiative.
Would Encourage Aviation.
America should not lag behind in
encouraging aviation" he said. "It
is not limited to military purposes,
but all aviation, army aviation and
commercial uses should be en-
courased as a matter OF national de-
fense"
T\ development of the tank corps
should be encouraged as a perma-
nent army OF the army, he said.
Tanks used by the Americans In the |
war were obtained from the British
and French, he said. indicating that
no American made tanks got into
