The observance Of Child Health Day today should find all

welt has issued call to duty which be answered He
said:
call upon all agencies, public and private, and

heart to set aside that day for consideration
of the needs of the children in their communities
and in their homes, and in0ugurate constructive
activities to protect and promote the health and

May has been observed Child Health Day since 1924
It has served useful purpose in concentrating for at least
one day. the thoughts Of many upon the duties which we
to children.
But this year the Importance of the day is greater than
BEFORE
The puly reduced circumstances of many families have
brought suffering and praon thousands of children

their husbands. Such women
invariably become conceited,
selfish, intolerant-and thor

morning, President Roose-
velt found a letter that
must have made a strong
appeal to his sympathy be-
cause it contained these
timely words Of counsel
from the writings Of his
illustrious kinsman and
predecessor in the White
House-Theodore Roosevelt:
Neither a nation nor
an individual can surrender
conscience to another's a
keeping. Neither can a ma
tion, which is an entity and
which does not die as indi-
viduals die, refrain from
taking thought for the in
terest of the generations
that are to come, no less
than for the generation Of
today; and no public men
have a right, whether from
short-sightedness, from self
ish Indifference or from
sentimentality, to sacrifice
national interests which are
vital in character.
"The United States Navy
is the surest guarantor of
peace which this country
possesses. It is earnestly
to be wished that we would
profit by the teachings Of
history in this matter. E.
To stop building ships for
one year means that for
that year the Navy goes
back instead of forward.
The Navy can only attain
efficiency if enough Off
GERS and men are provided.
Again and again in the
past our little Regular
Army has rendered service
literally vital to the coun-
try, and it may at any time
have to do so in the future.
Its standard of efficiency
and instruction is higher
now than ever in the past.
But it is too small. There
are not enough officers; and
it is impossible to secure
enough enlisted men. We
should maintain in peace a
fairly complete skeleton of
a large Army. In particular,
it is essential that we should
possess a number Of extra
officers trained in peace to
perform efficiently the
duties urgently required
upon the breaking out Of
war"
When the Great War ended,
our Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress were
deeply mindful of the fact
that we had entered that
conflict in a deplorable
state of unpreparedness. We
were in the war for a whole
year before we could train
and equip one division of
$4,000 men to engage in
battle.
Forget Lessons
Of World War
And not until we had
been in the war for a year
and a half was it possible
for the United States to Or
ganize and put into battle
an all-American Army. Even
then practically all our ma
chine guns, artillery guns,
and ammunition, airplanes
and other important equip
ment had to be supplied to
us by French and British
factories.
Throughout all that time,
the armed forces of France
and Great Britain stood be-
tween us and the armed
forces of Germany and Aus
tria, with which we were
at war.
After months Of study
and review Of the opinions
of our most experienced
civil and military leaders,
Congress profited by the
lessons of the Great War.
In 1920, the national de-
fense act was passed. This
authorized the maintenance
at all times of a Regular
Army of sufficient strength
to insure the timely mobili-
zation of the citizen army
and an adequate reserve
of essential war munitions
to tide over the time neces-
sarv to mobilize industry.

False Economy SapS
Our COuntry'S Defense
By James T. Williams, Jr.

National Guard and the
Organized Reserves, could
be mobilized in a major
emergency.
Then, as we got further
away from the Great War,
and began to forget its
major lessons, Congress
started whiting down the
strength Of the Regular
Army by failing year after
year to appropriate ade-
quately for it's maintenance.
No change was made in
the national defense act,
but by reducing annual
budgets our Army was cut
first to 175,OOO, then to
10000, to 125,00O, until
today it is only about 49,
900. And instead of $4,000
officers we have only 12,-
900.
At the end of the Great
War, Congress decided that
our national security re-
quired that we maintain at
all times a Navy "equal to
the strongest in every class
of combatant ship"
We would have such a
Navy today had Congress
kept faith with the country
and carried out it's obliga-
tions under the Washington
treaty, by which we sacri-
feed superiority on the seas
for equality with the British
navy.
But Congress is again for
getting the lessons that the
American people learned
from the Great War. Con-
gress is ignoring the warning
words of Theodore Roosevelt.
Congress is refusing, as it did
before the War Of 1912, be-
fore the Civil War, before
the War with Spain and be-
fore the Great War, to
'profit by the teachings Of
history" in this vital matter
Of national defense.
National defense is ma
tional insurance. No pru-
dent citizen begins his econo-
mics in a time of depression
by cutting down his insur-
ance or by letting it lapse.
Navy Has Sunk
To Third Place
1t 1t be the duty OF the
head Of a family to econo-
mize in every other direction
before letting his insurance
lapse, it would seem to be
the imperative duty Of the
head servants in the Federal
City of the great American
family that is the household
of the Nation to eliminate
unnecessary expenditures in
other executive departments
before reducing our national
insurance by cutting the
combat strength of our Army
and Navy.
Owing to misdirected
economy in recent years,
our Navy has sunk to third
place among the navies of
the world.
whether from short
sightedness, from selfish in
difference or from senti-
mentality recent Con-
crosses have whitfield down
our Regular Army until it's
combat forces now available
for the defense Of our home
land are actually smaller
than Great Britain main
tains, smaller than even
Germany is permitted under
the treaty of Versailles.
Yet this is the disappear
ing Army and the third
rate Navy which a new and
untried Director of the
Budget, after less than two
months experience in that
office, is asking from Con-
gress dictatorial powers to
demoralize and well nigh
destroy.
Before the Congress alb
dicates it's constitutional
authority and responsibility
"to raise and support
armies" and "to provide
and maintain a Navy" and
surrenders these powers to

ecutive agent, surely those

 In his broadcast at 1O:15 D. m., E. s. T., over an NBC-WEAF net work Griselle will conduct his orchestra in numbers specially ar- ranged by himself. His scores are noted for their unusual and bizarre harmony and unique orchestration. Several of his own compositions are included.
