Stating that preparedness is an
,econom~ically sound policy for the
'coupry, Maj. Gen. Charles P. Sum-
1ner"a1, commander of the Second
Corps area, in a recent speech, quoted
General Pershfing as saying in a re-
port to the Senate committee, that if
the United States had been prepared,
it could have averted the late war.
"Wilson did not have a big enough
arniy to back up his statements as
to what the United States would or
woufd not tolerate. Germany would
'not have dar ed defy the President had
he frad a prepared nation to make
good his ultimatum. When we at last
became prepared, Germany began to'
sue for peace, but the process of pre-

statements of Pershing. SummIeral

tare hot dependent upon obligations,
and who are basically opposed to
strengthening the present American

jwhieh gives employment to a few pro-
Tessional soldiers, but is of immediate
Poncern to every person in the land,
land that it should serve as a mutual
bond of obligation between the citizen
and the state.
