Panama. without first capturing
Oahu, IL is not likely that any naval
force will venture across the five or
six thousand miles to our coast. The
steaming radius of no fighting ship
afioat will warrant it, nor will any
modern navy willingly pass by and
leave an important naval base flank
ing its line of communications. An
enemy once in the possession of Oahu
will threaten our entire coast from
Kieka to Panama City. There is
perhaps reason enough that we
should defend Oahu for itself and
the rest of the Hawaiian group, but
fortifications there also greatly les
sen the expense of other fortifica
tions on the American mainland"
In other words, we are being eco
nomical in concentrating our expen-
ditures at the central point rather
than being extrava giant in spreading
our defenses all up and down the
continent. In the maneuvers TO take
place during the Last week of this
month, our joint Army and Nav
forces assigned 10 the Blue side Of
the exercises will practice them
selves in that cooperation which
might be necessary to the retaking Of
Oahu should it fall into enemy hands.
At the same time, the Hawaiian
troops and the local naval units will
practice themselves in co-operativc
defense of Americas vitally impor-
tant outpost on the Pacific.

BY MAI. GEN. JOHN L. HINES,
Chief of Stnr, United States Army.

After all, the maneuvers to be held
at the end of this month at the
Hawaiian Islands are in reality of
chief value as conclusive tests of the
effectiveness of our defenses. They
give us an opportunity to check up on
our plans and to correct such faults
as inevitably creep into every human
enterprise and remain unobserved un-
til put to a practical or quasi-praC-
tical test
Defense of strategically important
points, like the Island of Oahu, must
be carried out in accordance with a
well defined plan, covering both ac-
tual operations and the development
of tangible installations. During
maneuvers we always try to put op-
posing sides on equal basis, so
that the decision will go to the most
able and the better prepared, rather
than to mere weight of numbers. War,
however, Is not a mere pacific ma
neuver.
In preparing to defend place
against attack in actual war we do
not seek to make our forces equal to
those of the enemy, but rather seek
to make them Of sufficient strength to
do their work. The defense of any
place depends on the force that might
be brought against 1t. Estimatin G
what an attacking force might be,
we can plan to provide sufficient
strength to repulse such force. The
troops necessary to execute the de-
fense plan can be calculated, and pro-
vision made to furnish the troops
with what they need in the way of
facilities like bases, fortiflcationS,
roads, railroads, quarters, storage
| houses. etc. If the plan is soundly
devised and effectively followed The
| defense of the island may perhaps be
assured without conflict at all. Some
of the greatest battles, as Admiral
| Mahan has said. are those tnat ale
never fought
Long-Range COast Guns.
Capt. Schofield of the Navy states
the Seamans point of view:
The better fortifcations are placed
and the better they are armed the
| more certain 1t is that they will
never fire hostile shots against ships
| The surest way to keep hostile ships
away is to outrange them. The
treaty for limitation of naval arma-
| ment, If it finally becomes operative
| will reduce the number of powerful
armed ships in the world so much
| that no power will hereafter feel that
| it can risk any of those ships agains,
seacoast fortification. 1t certainly
| would be folly to do SO until the
question of supremacy on the sea
| was definitely settled
In accordance with this fdea that
adequate preparation may win a vic
| tory and prevent the capitulatlon OF
Oahu, except in imaginary maneu-
vers, the War Department has drawn
| up an elaborate defense project. Mil
| itary commanders assigned to Ha-
waii have made careful studies OF
| the situation and have experimental
| in local maneuvers until they are able
| to specify what troops might be re-
| quired. and what installations needed
| To put their plans into effect would
| insure security.
Yet we have always to contend with
| other factors. We have to proceed
! along reasonable financial lines. Ex-

cessive burdens Of expense cannot be
incurred We have to realize that
congressional enactments limit the
total size of our Regular Army and
that our Oahu garrison must, of
course, be affected by the size of the
Army as a whole, which has other
missions to perform as well as the
mission of defending the crossroads
Of the Pacific.
Citizens to Aid Defense.
In war. or when war is imminent,
the peace garrison will be increased,
particularly by additional air units
from the United States and from per-
sonnel available locally. 1t is not
possible for us to emulate the imagi-
nary General Staff of which Lord Lee
of Farnham laughingly spoke in 1921,
which wanted to put a tremendous
garrison on every outlying posses
sion, even on the moon. In his last
annual report the Chief of Coast Ar
tillery stated that the war require
ments Of the Coast Artillery could be
partially filled from island incre-
ments.
1t is a fact that the islands are
keenly concerned with the needs Of
defense. The big plantation com
panies have encouraged the National
Guard and have expended consider
able sums for the building of ar
mories. We can count on local aid,
but the local manpower is not numer
GUS enough for what we would need.
Discussing the matter of hostile at
tack on harbor forts, the chief of
Coast Artillery has said:
Such attack would be launched by
water, or by air, or by both. Any
thing approaching an adequate de-
fense against such forms of attack
demands at the outbreak of war, a
sufficient trained personnel to man
completely our harbor defenses and
an adequate anti-aircraft defense.
Failure in these respects in the first
stages of a war of magnitude would
without doubt, add immeasurably to
the difficulty of a successful defense
and might prove DISASTROUS
In spite of the very apparent peril
of such a course, we have been COM
PEELED to work on the assumption that
continuance Of peace with all the
world will permit of the gradual ac-
cumulation OF men and funds for
strengthening the garrison Of Oahu.
Our project for the defense of Oahu
contemplates forces to man the major
armaments in emergencies, for per-
sonnel to care for the other emplace-
ments and for number sufficiently

as the personnel problem goes we

siderations

tary programs for future develop
ment. At the present rate of progress
1t will take about II years to finish
the Oahu project, and that cannot be
said to be a rapid spending or a reck-
less waste of funds.
We desire to move slowly in the
development of our defense project,
so that we may be sure of our
ground, as we'll as to distribute avail
able funds SO as not to neglect other
necessary work for the sake of this
one project Our project is a com
plicated one. 1t covers reservoirs,
water publication plants, refrigera-
ton plants and roads, as well a s guns
and shelter and storage.
Plans to BE Checked.
We desire to check up and to de-
termine by concrete maneuver ex-
ercises exactly how our plans are
working out and how they will
work out in actual practice. New
ideas arise from time to time with
regard to the employment of this
weapon and that New inventions
like aircraft cause rsvisions of pre-
vious conceptions. By applying these
in practice in maneuvers like those
to take place in April, the factors
may be developed of concrete value
in the determination of our future
peace-time activities at the strategic
focus of Pacific defense.
By devoting our attention to Ha-
waii we are concentrating our ef-
forts at a point of outstanding stra-
tegic value. The Senate committee
on appropriations was told by a chief
of our war plans division the rea-
son for empha sizing Oahu, in the fol-

DOCTOR ARRESTED
in KIDNAPPING CASE
Investigation Following Dis
covery of Baby Leads to H.
legal Operation Charges.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 9-As re-
suit of Investigations to determine
whether a child adopted by Mr.. and
Mrs. F. V. Grofe of Morsemere, N. j.,
is the kidnapped Lillian Mckenzie,
missing from New York since 1928,
Henry Leo Mottard of Smithtown,
who said he was a graduate chiro-
practic physician, practicing in New
York under the name of Harry l..
Green, was arrested early today and
charged with performing an illegal
operation.
Police said Mottard told them that
the child now in the Grofe home was
born in his office to a Mary Sullivan
of Connecticut, several months be-
fore the birth of the Mckenzie baby
and that he had given it to Mrs.
Okeefe, a professional mother, who
sold 1t to Mrs. Grofe for 500.
Charge Many Operations.
They also said that Mottard had
performed many operations in and
around New York.
Prosecutor Hart of Bergen County,
n. Y, yesterday said that Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Mckenzie of New York
had positively identified the child,
known as Mildred Grofe. as their own.
Later it became known that the par
ents had wavered in their identifica-
tion and last night the prosecutor
said the child might never be def
nitely identified as the Mckenzie
girl.
DIR. Bernard S. Gottlieb of New
York, who was called by Mrs. Grofe to
attend the child, on the other hand
is positive that it is the Mckenzie
girl. Gottlieb based his identification
the prosecutor said, largely on a
physical popularity of the Mckenzie
child found also in the Grofe girl.

fined as essential, then opened and
maintained. 1 believe a competent
body should determine the number of
vessels required for establishing and
maintaining these routes.
Second, the United States Shipping
Board should sell the essential trade
route lines to American private in
terests that will guarantee to main
tain the services for a term of years
at a price the interest of which will
be sufficiently lower than foreig gn
owners charges to offset as far as
possible American shipowners' dis
abilities in comparison with foreign
competitors.
FavOrs Form Of Subsidy.
Third, to insure continuance Of
the essential trade routes I would
suggest a postal act to render the
principal aid; a subsidy where postal
aid is insufficient to regularly estab-
liShed lines; a continuation of the So
called building fund provision in the
present law but at lower rates of
interest than now provided; and an
nulling or modifying the legislative
acts which are now burden on
American shipping.
Finally, provide the Shipping Board
with a modest-sized fleet of freight
steamers to be used when necessary
to break any combination that discrim-
mates improperly in any trade routes
where the American flag is not repre-
sented.
I'VE must not forget that the huge
government expenditures for ships
during the war were for an emer-
gency. 1t is part of the waste OF the
war. Most of the construction done
then is of no use for peace tins, does
not make merchant marine, and is
a menace to the orderly upbuilding
of the merchant marine we need
Would Scrap Wartime Fleet.
'Then what would you have the
government do with its fieet?"
''Ships in bad condition in the hands
of the Shipping Board should be
scrapped at once. All other govern
ment steamers not required for the
purposes that I have stated should
also be scrapped."
I'm a word, Mr.. Hartman, you be-
lieve, so far as the government fleet
upon which over $4,000 1000, 600 has
should be Scrap, sell, scrap'?"
Yes" he replied; that's the most
important first step IL American ship
ping is to secure and maintain its
proper place. There need be no dis
couragement as to the ability of
Americans to operate ships success
fully in foreign trade, but Ii remains
for the United States to make it
possible that these ships fly the
American flag"
