REORGAN|z|NG
NATIONAL GUARD
Calls for Special Committee to
Study Needs Of Reserve
Arm of Defense.
BY Universal Service.

= Secretary of War Weeks today
announced his determination to
reorganize the National Guard on
a basis which will insure its
strength and dependability as an
arm Of national defense.
He said that the annual limiting
OF appropriations for the regular
army had interfered with it's eff
cient operation, and he was anxious
that the National Guard be - not
handicapped in like manner.
The Secretary has issued a call
for, a special committee, the ma
jority of which shall be guardsmen,
to make a comprehensive study OF
national guard problems. His state
ment. in part, follows:
1.-THE War Department Is most
anxious that the United States
have adequate national defense at
the minimum of expense. There
has never been, any difference of
opinion between Congress and the
War Department on the score OF
economy. When the War Depart
ment has objected to certain legis-
lative measures it has been for the
this department the legislation pro-
posed or enacted was not true
economy and was not compatible
with the safety of the nation.
"The regular army has been linn
tied from year to year by appropria.
tions. This policy has resulted in
constant reorganization Of the regu'
lar army and has interfered with it's
efficient operation. am most de.
sirous that the healthy and normal
growth Of the National Guard be
not handicapped in such a manner.
Now the, time seems ripe for a
comprehensive study of national
guard problems and for fixing def
nitely the ultimate strength OF the
national guard. Suggestions have
come to me from national guard
sources that the ultimate strength
of the national guard should be
25o.o00 instead Of 427,2oo (aathor'
ized).
'The present strength Of the ma
tional guard is approximately 160..
600. There is mo doubt that the
number is too small"

Were there fewer unions that are
sins. both of soul and body, there
would be fewer divorces for the
Church to condemn or condone.
Again, since there must apparently
be divorce, might there not be a
law prohibiting the divorced person
to remarry within a certain--and
not too brief-period of time, that
might lessen the separations obtain

Love Is Sacrificed.
I began this little article with the
warning that I do not consider my
self competent to discuss aNsubject
occupying minds of churchmen and
lawyers. But there is one law that
even an old-fashioned woman can
understand, and that Il the law of
love.
In hasty marriages and marriages
for money love is sacrificed on the
altar of desire or Of mammon. Such
matrimonial ventures can lead to
but one end unless death intervenes
and that is the divorce court. II the
Church could forbid such travesty
on true marriage perhaps there
would be less need for discussion Of
the modification Of the canon re.
garding divorce.

A Government pool of $500 ,00o,.

farmers from food spectators and
grain gamblers under a plan spon-
sored by Senator King Dem) of
Utah.
King proposes to transfer all as.

now completing its postwar func.

Board for use In extending seasonal
and long-term credits TO farmers or
cattle-raisers. A bill he introduced
was before the Senate Finance Com
mittee for consideration.
King declared his plan would elm.
mate food spectators who obtain
control of farmers crops at cheap
prices at harvest markets.
The plan was said to meet the ap-
prbval of members of the Senate
agriculture bloc" and probably will
be considered by that body at a spe-
cial~meeting. It was said the plan
would enable farmers to obtain cred.
its for their fall and winter planting
