With clarifying emphasis. he dis
PEELED illusions that !he United
States would enter the conference
prepared to scrap its wagons and
render itself dcfenseless.
Summed UP. the American atti-
tudc, as stated by the president, is
this:
The day OF permanent world
peace is far off. The end OF armed
conflict may never come. Civilized
governments may never be able TO
scrap their navics and disband their
armies. Nevertheless il may be POS
~Sblc to diminish the burdens OF
armament.
There may never be time with
out the necessity for armed forces in
every government said the presi-
dent, but believe with all my
heart we are coming to time when
VIC are going to diminish the bur-
dcns OF armament
Controversy Over Speech.
The presiden, made this speech at
the opening OF the fall term OF the
army war college in Washington.
Soon after the speech had been de-
.ivered, controversy arose as to the
presidents exact language. News
paper men who heard the speech
quoted him in more emphatic terms.
They understood him TO use the
word will instead of may" and
quoted him as saying there will
never be a time without tie neces-
Sly for armed forces in every gov
crnment,' and "it is perfectly futile
10 think there will never be conflict
etc. The milder word may" ap-
peared in the official text of his
speech when il was issued from the
White House later in the day.
The audience was made up OF 200
army officers who are about to en-
ter the fall term OF the army war
college. The president said:
81 can. from my own experience,
rcmind you that if the war college is
ths institution which brings the
knowledge of experience into blend
with theory, it is one great insti-
tution of practical values. The trout
bis with the world today is that too
s~any theorists know nothing about
ettuaiities and have learned nothing
of experience"
Armed Forces Necessary.
q do not know what ought to
kr said about your profession for the
Aut,ne, but men of the army, no mat
te,s where the best aspirations of
tie world may lead us, no matter
what tremendous and gratifying
progress is made, there may never
be time without the necessity for
armed forces in every government.
