A delegation of members of the Dis- abled American Veterans was the guest of the commanding officer at Fort Washington on Friday and reviewed the Civilian Military Training Camp activ- itles at that place. J Believing the country must always de- pend mostly upon citizen soldiers in any wars, the Disabled American Veterans {have filed a strong protest against any | reduction in the funds of the militia, Reserve Corps of training camps. Basing his statement upon President Hoover's call for cuts in the War Department _appropriations, National Comdr. W. J. Murphy of the D, A, V. sald: “The organized disabled of the World War have consistently supported adequate preparedness, and at the same time have encouraged any practical plan to lessen the chances of war. At the same time we feel that trimming appropriations for the War Department must not interfere with the planned activities of the National Guard, ti Organized Reserves or the Civilian Mil- itary Training Camps, for our scheme of defense calls for these units to bear the brunt of flrhlln( in any future wal Jjust as the citizen soldiers have always stood most of the shock in every war of the Republic, > g “We have the highest regard for our Regular Army officers, who must be depended upon as the directing leaders in our wars, but if the proposals for pruning appropriations for the military establishment are to be left to the Reg- ular Army, it seems only natural to ex- pect that they will make every nossible {effort to conserve the funds devoted distinctly to Regular Army activities “Even tb 10st radical pacifists can- not successfully maintain that America has lived up to her rights of equality to Great Britain’s in naval strength under the limitations of armament agreement, and if we are to suspend the construction which was won after the bitter battle last Winter we will be perpetuating rather than lessening the differences in strength afloat. “The national defense act is a sane, sensible and reasonable plan of pre- paredness without being militaristic, but If we are going to tolerate cessation of cruiser building and curb the train- ing of our militia, Reserves or C. M. T. C. men, we will soon revert o our pre-war unpreparedness, which founded upon the false assumption that ‘one miilion men will spring to arms overnight’ without saying where they will spring to, how they will be clothed, they will be trained before facing the horrors of modern warfare, “No one detests war more than those upon whom war has left indelible scars, 50 the ‘voice of the disabled must be heard in the present crisis that means s0 much to America, her ideals and her Institutions.” Later in the week Secretary of War Good announced the militia, reservist and training camp items for the Army waguld not be disturbed. ‘Word reached here last week that National Comdr. W. J. Murphy of the D. A. V. is scheduled to reach Wash- ington for his second visit about the middle of September, He is now in- specting hospitals on the West Coast, a ! has arranged a schedule which will make it possible for him to accept invi- tations to address the national conven- tions of the United Spanish War Vet- erans at Denver, the Veterans of For- eign Wars at St. Paul and the Ameri- can Legion at Louisville, During his last trip to Washington in July Comdr.
