shells are inadequate we should
know about that. II we are def
cient In airplanes we should be in
formed about the facts, but not in
exuberant estimates of 10000 planes.
If we have the best .75-millimeter
light artillery piece in the world,
but have only manufactured two Of
them, we should know that fact and
the reason for 1t. If we have the
best rifle and light machine gun In
the world, but have not sufficient
jigs, dies and gauges to equip our
industrial plants to go into produc-
ton, we should know about that and
the reason for 1t. Three years ago
I tried to quadruple the appropria-
ton for these items but was de-
feated by the efforts Of the admin
istration and the War Department.
The American people are entitled
to know the facts before we embark
upon a new program of riotous ex-
penditure. There need be no reti-
cence so far as the American people
are concerned. If there are def
ciencies in our defensive armor,
these weaknesses are undoubtedly
already known to the governments
of all of our prospective or possible
enemies.
Utterly Incompatible.
Most dangerous of all is the sug-
gestion that the hysteria for increase
In armament shall be used as cloak
for further pump -priming operations
and that such increase in armament
as may be authorized shall be tied
up with relief. The two things are
utterly incompatible. The types Of
construction reasonably most neces-
sary for national defense are not
the types of work most suitable to
decreasing the unemployment or
relief rolls. Many millions of dollars
were taken out of the 1888 P. w. A.
appropriation intended for the i'm
mediate relief of the unemployment
situation and allocated to the con-
struction of naval vessels. Two years
later not one man had been put to
work, not one keel laid down, not one
rivet had been tapped. Conversely
those projects best suited to relief
and unemployment are not at all
those best suited to the requirements
OF rounding out and implementing
our national defense. The sugges-
tion that the C. C. C. camps be
turned into Government airplane
factories and that their excellent
personnel be called upon to perform
the duties of trained airplane me-
chanics is perhaps the most idiotic
ever advanced in any country.
repeat that the whole question
OF national defense should be con-
sidered by the whole people calmly
and dispassionately in the light of
determination of the national and
international policies to be pursued
and the means necessary-and only
those necessary to implement those
policies. I urge that the American
people give consideration to these
questions without yielding to the
armament hysteria which is inevi-
tabiy only the prelude to war. we
should vote every dollar which is
reasonably necessary for the defense
OF the United States. We should
oppose every appropriation designed
to create instruments which might
LEAD us into offensive wars and
intervention in foreign quarrels
We must avoid as we would a pesti-
lence the intermingling of the
question OF national defense with
those other great domestic questions
OF relief, unemployment and pump
priming.

MOVE FOR PLAY
GROUNDCENTER
Smyrna Rotary Club Sponsors
Summer RecreatiOnal
Activities
IS NEEDED IN SMYRNA

For many years our community
has desired a supervised play
ground for our children. The Smyr-
ma Rotary Club has taken the in
itiative through its community
service committee by starting a
playground at the athletic field of
the John Bassett Moore School I'M
der the supervision of Mr.. Gebhart
of the local faculty. Mr. George
w. Robinson is the chairman of
this committee. The playground
is held from 9 a. m. until 11.30 am.
daily from Monday to Friday. The
aim of the playground is to pro
vide a safe place for children to
play under supervision. At present
the facilities offer the following
games: baseball, softball, tennis,
deck tennis, volley ball, dodge ball,
horseshoes, croquet, and hop
scotch. If any children do not
wish to play organized games but
prefer to play alone, the play
ground offers a safer place than
our streets. Approximately fifty
children enjoy the playground daily
and it is desirable that all children
of Smyrna and vicinity come to the
playground From 100 p. m. to
4 p. m. Mr., Gebhart will be at the
Lake to help any children who wish
to learn to swim The entire I'M
dertaking is a community affair
and depends for its success on the
cooperation of all our citizens.
There are no public funds available
to finance the playground and the
swimming instruction. The sue
cess depends entirely on voluntary
contributions Dover and Middle
town have both provided recrea-
tional centers for the youth Of their
towns and it is felt Smyrna Should
fall in line also. The Rotary Club
has promised a contribution and
members of the Town Council have
indicated their readiness to sup
port a request for funds from the
town. Since the remainder mas to
be supplied by our citizens, mem
bers of the committee will make
calls and liberal financial support
of our community is requested.
The funds will be managed by the
treasurer, Mr.. John Mannering.
Smyrna has neglected too long to
provide its children with proper
recreational facilities during the
summer months and here is the OPP
portunity for every parent and cit
izen to contribute his share to the
welfare of our citizens to be.
