S. Defense. Mr. Lehman was the first speaker and, after the war record of the 77th, devoted the remainder of his ad- dress to a plea for adequate national defense. “No one is more strongly opposed to militarism as militarism than 1" said The. “but I do strongly. firmly and per- manently believe in a sound and reason- able degree of preparedness. I strongly believe in & logical degree of national defense, purely for defense at all times. Reasonable but adequate preparedness is not a threat. but a means of defense this country should always have at its command.” He concluded by asserting that the best means of fulfilling the obligation which the citizens of this country owe to those who gave their lives in the World War is by maintaining and strengthening its national defense. Gen. Harbord traced the division’s history and its record overseas and spoke of the motives which lay behind the sacrifice made by those who gave their lives in the struggle.
