American life. General Pershing, Secretary of Navy Knox, Mayor LaGuardia of New York have endorsed in the principle the pro- gram. Today General Palmer of fers his constructive comment as follows:
 Under the stress of the present world crisis, all thoughtful Amer jeans have come to recognize the necessity of compulsory military training and service. But many of them accept this conviction with great reluctance. They feel that, though the compulsory system is obviously necessary, it savers of foreign militarism and that it has no place in our system of democratic institutions.
 "A brief study of our history will allay this misgiving. There we will find that universal com- pulsory military training and ser- vice is really an American inven- tion. Washington proposed it as the very foundation of the new American republic long before it was thought of in Germany.
 Tn February, 1790, less than a year after his inauguration as President, he transmitted pro- posal to Congress that all able bodies young men should receive military training, and that after such training all of them should serve time in the local units of nationwide citizen arm. If our fathers had accepted and follow ed his policy, American democracy would now be more powerful for war or peace than any European autocracy.
 There were two great objectives that Washington sought to attain when he became President. One was the establishment of nation al credit. The other was the es- tablishment of what he called a Respectfully Defensive Posture He entrusted the first of these objectives to his Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, who was able to carry it into ef- feet. He gave his personal atten- tion to the second objective with out success though he stressed it in all his annual messages to Congress.
 Tt is the highest tribute to the success of Washington's financial system that SO far it has been able to raise enough money to meet the enormous costs arising from the failure of his military system. Most of our great burdens of na- tional debt have been due di- rectly or indirectly to the fact that our fathers accepted only fifty per cent of Washington's plan for the prosperity and secur- ity of the new American repub- Hc."
