Earlier in his address he said he
was "a thorough believer in policy of
adequate military preparation, and
! after the cheers subsided he continued:
! "NO doubt this country could, If 1t
wished to spend more money, make
better military force, but that is only
part of the problem that confronts the
government The real question Is
whether spending more money to make
a better military force would really
make a better country. / would be
the last to dlsparage the military art.
1t Is an honorable and patriotic calling
Of the highest rank. But l can see no
merit in any unnecessary expenditure
of money to hire men to build fleets
and carry muskets when international
relations and agreements permit the
turning of such resources into the

"A statesmen in conference at Locar-
no, Switzerland, are working earnestly
and apparently amicably to draft a
security treaty, they have not, at this
writing, solved the main problem, the
eastern frontiers of Germany. BRAND
insisted that France should have the
right to guarantee the arbitration
treaties between Germany and Poland
and Germany and CzechoSlovakia,
and Chamberlain for Great Britain
supported him, but the Germans,
Stresemann and Luther, objected pre-
ferring England as the sponsor for the
treaties. They also declared firmly
