stated that he believed the War Col

would eliminate this danger In tho

AT the completion Of your one
year term II has occurred to mo that
some interest and consideration
should be given to . subject to
which too little attention has hereto
fore been paid: Namely, that military
conservatism has often been respons-
ible for defeat in battle and some
time for disaster" he said. "Conserva-

train their minds, in logic, as to
eliminate or at least minimize this
danger.
I'VE hope that the present train

II will. providing our understanding
Of the influence of conservatism In
the past is such as to convince US
that we must avoid this danger In
the future"
