gest reason was that the people
of the United States would not
support it before. They had been
living with a false sense of security
1t took the present grim realities
to make them realize that a SUBJ
stantial increase in our standing
Army was an imperative need.
There have been men in Congress
and among our civilian population
who have on one occasion after an
other tried to warn the people that
the standing Army, both in numbers
and equipment, was far below our
needs. Most people did not bother
their heads about it, even though
in a democracy public sentiment
really fashions most national poll
cies
The question now is, when the
present emergency passes will they
again sink into that previous atti-
tude of indifference and sense of
security and allow our Army to
disintegrate and reach the low
state of preparedness it is in today?
That is what happened after the
last World War. Let us hope that
it will not happen again after the
present war. Let us learn the lesson
for all time. that adequate defense
is the surest guarantee against at
tack and against involvement in
war.
10000 New Enlistments.
The enlarged Regular Army and
the National Guard are made up
of voluntary enlistments. Thus, to
increase our Army to its desired
strength will require from 10000 to
100000 new enlistments. If these
enlistments do not come voluntarily
it will be imperative that some
democratic and equitable system be
devised to furnish sufficient men to
make up the forces to this minimum
number.
The sooner these new enlistments
are obtained, the better it will be
for us all. 1t takes months and
months to train a good soldier and
a skilled aviator.
In addition to the above. I should
like to see a plan to permit others
who may desire it to receive mill
tary training. Military training is
2 healthful thing. 1t develops a
strong body. a sense of obligation
and responsibility to our Govern
ment and an appreciation of what
a great privilege it is to live in a
country like the United States OF
America. In addition to the in
dividual benefits, it would be fine
thing for the Nations defense, too
A good deal of headway could be
made if there were camps to which
men could 60 who desire to receive
this military training-camps such
as were held at Plattsburg some &C
years ago.
In these camps muscles are
hardened by training and exercise
Men are taught rudimentary mill
tary tactics, the use of arms, dis
cipline and the like. The strenuous
life, lived in the open, would ado
to the physical prowess of the citi-
zen and help the preparedness OF
the Nation at one and the same
time. These voluntary camps ir
my judgment would attract many
thousands of men who would like
to help but who are not situated
| in some cases so they could join

the Regular Army or National
Guard.
AS one who has participated in
some of this training, I know it is
of great benefit to every one who
takes it, If from no other stand
point than that of health.
Expense of Universal Training.
Considerable numbers of people
have written me advocating uni
versal military training My own
opinion on this subject comedies
with that of the Army heads. If
we have Regular Army and Ma
tional Guard such as l have here
tofore described, properly equipped
and trained, numbering altogether
$4,000 men, it would not be neces-
sary for our national defense to
superimpose universal training. 1t
is felt that voluntary enlistments
will give us the $4,000 men desired
in these two organizations. Besides,
universal military training would
entail terrific expense and great

try at a time when for IL long years
our national Government has been
spending more than it has been re-
cVving in taxes. Our average yearly
deficit has been S2,650,0 100000, or
approximately s3O,5oo, ,OOo,O 900 during
the 1l-year period
I believe that with the Regular
Army and National Guard brought
up to the proposed strength, mill
tary training on the Plattsburg
model could be more economically
administered and would supple
ment largely any greater need for
preparedness we might have 1 am
sure employers would cooperate
with employees to permit this train
ing where the employees themselves
desired it.

TEXAS LEE HARPER
 TO BOX HATCHER
Stellar Featherweight to Show Here Thursday;
 Brown to Meet Duffy

Out of a clear sky, the Waterbury A. c. board of boxing strategy se- cured one of the best featherweights in the country Texas Lee Harper, who will meet Jimmy Kid Hatcher of South Caroline in the eight round feature bout Thursday night at Randolph Gloves stadium.
 Harper was beaten by feather weight champion Pete Scalzo, but has defeated Johnny Compo, New Ravens number one featherweight; has draw with Allie Stoltz, the former Abey Rosen, and has defeat ed Maxie Shapiro and Bobby Ruff fin, two of the best "club" fighters in New York campaigning outside the Garden. Several weeks ago Har- per boxed a draw with Bobby Ivy of Hartford. On that record, he is plenty good enough for the able Kid Hatcher whose wins over Snooks Lacey and Kid Sal have made him a popular local favorite.
 Koyacsh-Moraz
 Other bouts signed for this week include Dula Kovach of Naugatuck and Frankie Moraz of New Haven, a huge hard-hitting heavyweight managed by Lew Brown. He is the same boy who outpunched Kovach at Buckingham Hall last season.
 A splendid opening bout of four rounds has been carded with the signing of Billy Duffy of Hartford a Villanova grad of last June, and Billy Brown of this city who defeat ed Lenny Verostak of Shelton last week, but wound up on the wrong end of the official verdict. The re- mainder of the cara will be com pleted today, Waterbury A. c. of- ficials announced.
