SWISS ARMY PLAN
 FAVORED FOR US.
Type Proposed By George Washington to Prepare
 U. s. for Future Wars

A citizen army similar to switzer- lands of the type first proposed by George Washington, is the most sim pie, economical and democratic way to prepare America to meet the threat of war according to John Mc- Auley Palmer, brigadier general of the Q. s. army, retired, whose book America in Arms" was published here today by the Yale University Press.
 General Palmer, who served as assistant chief of staff of the A. E. P. under pershing and as military adviser to the Senate military af- fairs committee in 1919, has had Q leading part in promoting 6 modern adaptation of Washington's military system for the past thirty years. Pointing out that America has never been prepared for any of her wars and. has waged them with unneces- sary wastes of blood and and money, h eproposes that all able-bodied young Americans should be given peacetime training in national citizen army.
 Such a plan, Palmer says, was first introduced by President Washington and was rejected for political req sons. Similar proposals in later years have met the same end. If our fathers had accepted that plan for universal. military training and service we would have been pre- pared, at minimum expense, for all of our subsequent wars," he writes. Tt Is my belief that If Washington had been able, as he consciously sought, to implement the new Amer ican republic with military institu- tions suited to the genius of a free people civilization would not be trmeabling now under the impact of anti-democratic reaction"
 Palmer, who took an active part recently in securing the passage of the Selecthlve Service law, denlon- strates It's similarity to the original proposal of Washington and says of it: After a century and half the American people in an emergency have reverted ct the wise advice of Washington, although 1t still re- mains to complete the Washing tonian structure by the adoption of Q permanent system of universal military training.
 Tt is still wise as 1t was in Wasll- ington's day." he says, "that no nation Is fully prepared for war ur- less It's plans include arrangements for the mobilization of It's whole manpower if necessary; and no man can be sure of the future. !. Military training such as the Swiss have will Do well forth It's cost even If war is no longer an immediate threat. |. Let us preserve our na- tional independence and institutions by maintaining our strength h through Q disciplined army of the tpeople-thus, at last, committing ourselves definitely to the counsel that was given us by our first and most farseeing president"

 State Capitol, Hartford, May 7.- Maneuvering between the two major parties for strategic position con- tinOed yesterday as the Republican, controlled House voted to defer action on the state labor relations act till Wednesday, May {, the day after the deadline by which Cover nor Robert A. Hurley must make his nominations and appointments,
 After Republican Leader William L. Hadden had announced that many Republicans wanted still more time to study the labor bill, Repre- sentative A A. Ribiscoff, acting Democratic leader, opposed post ponement, declaring that there had been more than enough time to study the bills text. The post ponement, he said, would bring the bill up lat a time perilously close to adjournment" and might lead to its being lost between the two houses.

Bradley Confers With
 Hurley On Patronage
Legislative Program Also Presumably Discussed At
 Meeting Yesterday-Maneuverin on Labor Act

busy trying to find the significance of long conference held yesterday afternoon by the governor with Re- publican State Chairman J. Ken meth Bradley. Neither would dis- close what subjects had been dis- mussed, but presumably both legis- lation and patronage were taken up. The governor has sought to have his legislative program adopted be- fore he announces his appointment list, but Republicans have delayed action on most important phases of his program. There seems little chance that any major measures now hanging fire will be passed before the appointment deadline, next Tuesday.
 Each member of the House yes- terday received copy of an edt- torial in the Bridgeport Post con- demning the labor relations act and urging its rejection.

EDITORIAL
What About Our Own Paper

For many years. the Tamarack-
our school paper, has appeared in
the Western News We appreciate
this space which has been donated
to the high school and ii is doubt
full il any kind of paper could have
been published by the high school
otherwise. But since the first pa
per was published. our high school
has increased in size TO great ex-
tent, for, where formerly there
were so, today there are 200 stu
dents.
Out of this number surely we
could find enough people talented
and capable of producing regular
school edition. The edition would
be put out once a week or once
every two weeks and subscribed
to by the entire student body The
paper in itself would further inter
est in school activities. All pupils
interested in this project let it be
known to Miss Robertson, and il
enough interest is shown by all o.
the students. regular school paper
will become a reality.
