"At tonight's council session 1

PREPAREDNESS
ADVOCATED BY
vICE-PRESIDENT
Curtis Declares Adequate
Arms Will Save Cost
in WartimeS.

CHICAGO. Nov. ll,-Prepared-
ness as a peactime policy was adj
vocated by Vice President Charles
Curtis today in an Armistice day
address before members of the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks here.
Much of the cost of the last war
was caused by the fact that we were
unprepared for it, and this was the
second such occasion in twenty
years, he said. Il hope the lesson
taught by unpreparednesS may not
be forgotten. With our wonderful
prosperity and great resources our
country always should be prepared
for national defense Such course
will save many lives, millions of dol
lars. and untold suffering; it will
greatly lessen the possibility of war.
In this country we do not believe
in a large standing army, nor do we
believe in having an over-large
navy, but cur people want both
army and navy to be ample for ma
tional defense.
The people of the United States
are, and always have been, peace
lowing as a whole. They are in
dustrious. generous. and not quar-
reisome as a nation. They concern
themselves with their own affairs
and do not NEEDLE in the affairs of
other people. They are sympathetic
with the woes and distress of the
people of the world. They ask
nothing more than to be permitted
to work out Their own destiny
without interference. and they free
ly concede this right to others
Curtis spoke of the nations hope,
on the anniversary of the settle
ment of it's last war-that future
wars might be avoided.
