WOOdring Letter
Bdres Var Plan

I NEW YORK From Septem-
Der 2 to September 9, this year,
New Jersey is to be the scene of
the largest peace-time officers
maneuver" ever staged in this
country, according to arrange
ments now being completed by
the War Department..
The maneuver is to be carried
on under as nearly war-like con-
ditiOns as possible. 1t will consist
of the concentration of the officer
personnel of General Headquar-
tiers and two armies and the adj
vance to and conduct of battle.
This information, which was
not yet ready for publication, but
was part of the war departments
secret preparations, leaked out
when WoOdring wrote to select
group of newspaper editors invit-
ing them to send representatives
to the field of action in Septem-
Der.
That WOOdring is preparing not
only for imperialist war but to
battle against our own workers
and farmers protesting against
starvation and ruin is shown by
his article in Liberty Magazine,
January 6, in which he openly
boosted that the army stood
ready to mot only defend our
country. but to cope with social
and economic problems in an
emergency. 1t is our secret insur-
ance against chaos" he wrote. IF
this country should be threaten
ed by foreign war, economic chaos
or social revolution, our Army has
the training. experience, organ
ization and men to support the
government"
