GEN. REILLY TALKS
ON NATIONAL DEFENSE
Charges Women's Peace Group Has
Evaded Facts Which Govern
Other Countries.

Two important groups are working to
bring about further disarmament of this
country, the Women's League for Peace
and Freedom and those business men
who are continually pointing out the cost
of national defense and how much taxes
could be cut If we diSarmed still more
than we have done in the last 10 years."
Brig. Gen. Henry j. Reilly, World War
veteran, said in radio address last
night over Station WRC. Gen. Reilly
inaugurated the series of patriotic adj
dresses being sponsored by the Daugh-
tiers of the. American Revolution.
National security through adequate
armament has been the governing
principle of the other nations, and not
disarmament, as the road to peace"
said Gen. Reilly, in charging that the
women's peace group evades this fact.
The officer asserted that the so-called
business paciflst group evades these
three fundamentals concerning the
costs of armament-that efficiency and
not cheapneSs is the only yardstick for
measuring national defense, that eX-
penditures Of all the States in the Union
should be taken into account and "any
comparison of our expenditures for ma
tional defense with those of other ma
tons which does not take into consider
alton the much greater cost of every
thing in this country, due to our high
standard Of living, creates an entirely
false IMPRESSION"
