Defense Day Object
Defense day is intended to bring
to the people a reminder of their re-

SHELTON defense establishment In
case our country be attacked. There
can be no doubt that failure to pre-
pare for the possibility of war at
q time when that possibility was
really Imminent. resulted in great
hardship, unnecessary expense, and
the unjustifiable prolongation OF the
World War. To state this is but
to state what everybody knows. II
is desirable that both the public Of
Gals who would be responsible for
the national defense and the people
who would have to make sacrinces
to maintain 1t should know some
thing of our plans for it. What is

a compliance with the purposes OF
the national defense law of 1920. II
is not q mobilization and the people
who first attached to it the term
mobilization day and then proceed
ed to condemn It. have been utter
ly unfair. Most Of them, am sure,
have been innocent of intent to be
unfair, but they have been misled.
Profoundly hoping that the out
having Of war from this world may
be accomplished, am yet unable to
detect any inconsistency in giving
my approval to the program of de-
tense day. I wish crime might be
abolished; but would not therefore
abolish courts and police protection
1 wish war might be made impossi-
BILE, but I would not leave my coun-
try unprotected meanwhile.
The defense tests seems to me to
to means to assure the fullest eff
cheney to the extremely modest de-
Tense force our country maintains
