R. in support of national preparedness. “To ascertain what forces are at work to overthrow our Nation,” declared it has been necessary for the committee to devcte time and study to the methods employed by individuals and_groups. “This work is often grucsome and re- pellent,” Mrs. Walker said in_cos mending the rank and file of the o ion for their willingness to en- discomfort in their search for in- formation Referring to the Navy, Mrs, Walker said: “The country is awakening to the realization that we are still far below strength in the provisions of the Lon- don naval treaty and day by day we are losing time needed in preparation for building up to the terms of the London treaty before we have to meet other nations assembled in the coming Disarmament Conference. In Danger of Stigma. | *There is every indication that unle: this lethargy is overcome we will be compelled to face other nations with the stigma attached to us of being in- ferior i val s ngth.” On military training the report said, in part “Some of the State chairmen have been called upon to defend militar aining in the schools of their States. They have helped wage a winning fight in State Legislatures. The battle is still on and prom! to increase in intensity in the coming Thus the R. O. C. and C. M. C. are being attacked, and even the National Guard does not escape this campaign. “The tendency has been for anti-de- fense groups to- flood £k~ sountry with literature and Wit~ speakers offering figures and sta‘ements wnich give the impression the United States is spend- ing too much for its national defense.” Quoting from the report of Gen. Charles P. Summerall, former chief of | staff, Mrs. Walker declared that, de- ducting the overhead requirements for {the administration of the Army, there remain available cnly 54 men for the formation of a mobile fcrce capable of taking the field on the outbr of war, and coast artillery sufficient to fur- nish only 10 per cent of the strength re- quired for harbor defenses in time war, Despite this, she declared, there is a “pacifist agitation to wreck the na- tional defense act of 1920.” The D. A. R. has demonstrated the suprema value of co-operating with other organizations whose alms mag- | nify patriotism, Mrs. Walker said. “Itis | only by accumulating definite facts about | our system of Government that we can rebuff the spurious doctrines advanced by would-be clever agitators and revo- lutionaries,” she added. Defense Question Worth3. National defense, she declared, has become a question worthy of the be; lligence, involving in its broad scope detection of conspiracies to start uns on banks” by means of “whisper- ing campaigns breaking down the confl- dence of the people,” and efforts to flood the markets of this country with prod- ucts -lumped ‘from Russia.
