DEFENSE DAY VITAL 10U. 5. SECURITY Davis Telis Governors Citi- zens Should Know Their Du- ties Under Defense Act. Co-operation of State and local po- Iitical authorities as well as National Guard units is vital to the success of national security plans, Acting Sec- retary Dwight F. Davis of the War Department informed the governors of all States today in letters supple- menting his recent telegraphic request for their support in connection with the defense test muster on July 4. “Of course, State response to the proposed test is purely voluntary and must necessarily be predicated on what you consider to be the best in- terest of your State,” Mr. Davis added. Has Dual Purpose. Tn a general outline of the purposes and nature of the second defense test, the Acting Secretary sald that its ob- Ject was two-fold. “To acquaint the American people with their national defense policies and obligations as set forth in the Con- stitution and the national defense act of 1920, and to depict the plans and processes for the organization of the Army of the United States, and its muster into service in the event of any national emergency. “To emphasize the historical oc- casion when Congress first pledged the |2 man-power and resources of the coun try for national defense and to com memorate the sacrifice made for that defense.” To carry out these purposes, the letter continued, the defense test is designed to make it certain that “the people, States, local communities and political as well as military author- ities are acquainted with and realize their obligations under our national defense policies,” since successful ap- plication of the traditional American muster system as modified in the light of lessons of the World War can be assured only by such a general under- standing. Public Knowledge Vital. “It is one of the main purposes of the defense test to explain to the people this system, and their part therein,” Mr. Davis said. “Tt is be. lieved that public knowledge of these plans is not only essential for success- ful operation, but will enhance na tional security and be a guarantee for peace. The Secretary informed the gover- nors that he had directed the appro- priate corps area commanders in each case to confer with the State execu- tives and “explain more in detail the ‘War Department’s plans and desires.” “’As a main feature of the ceremony, & patriotic demonstration is contem- plated to be participated in by local authorities, forces and citizens in such form as may be desired by local com munities,” the Secretary said. “It is desired to couple with this patriotic demonstration an explanation of our national defense policy and plans and the obligation of each community thereunder.” Six Will Co-operate. Governors of six States have noti- fled Mr. Davis that they will co- operate in plans for the general mus- ter of the country’s defensive forces fixed for July 4. These States are New Mexico,. Oklahoma, South Caro- lina, New Hampshire, Maine and Con- necticut. Gov. Ritchie of Mary- land said that he would confer with the State adjutant general of the Na- tional Guard of the State and the commander of the 3d Corps Area at Baltimore on the subject, d then would announce what the Afll“l‘fi of Maryland in regard to thé defense test would be. Gov. Trumbull of Connecticu that while he was in compld pathy with the national d.hllfl PO‘ icy he ded the selection of the coming’ Fourth of July for the gen- eral muster as unfortunate, as that date Talls on Saturday. The program, he added, would be more representative of what Conm ticut could do if “undertaken time when it would Dot be at the pense of the workingman's holiday. “To call out the Connecticut mili- tary organizations on that date’ he vould be to ask the members e gl\e up their holiday and deprive many soldiers of an opportunity to spend the week end with their fam- ilies at the seashore or in the coun- try, and without their usual pay. Strongly Indorsed by Maine. Gov. Brewster of Maine gave a strong indorsement of the Fourth or July demonstration. “The State of Maine,” said he, “prizes the privileges of American citizenship and is desirous of bearing its proper share in their defense. We are prepared to co-operate in such ways as the President shall suggest in stimulating in our citizenry devo- tion to American ideals and to pru- dent and proper preparation for their defense. The Fourth of July seems a most appropriate time for us to give consideration to this cause.” —— Sells Former German Ships. The United States Shipping Ba-rd yesterday sold the former ships President Fillmore and lql.le hanna to Fincke, Boncort & Co. of New York. They are to be converted into refrigerator ships for use in trans- porting fruits between the East and West coasts. The Fillmore brought $65.000 and the Susquehanna 85,000. CORNS Lift Off-No Pain!
