Seth Ixiw said
"I have lived all my life in the l ulled

Bvhtenoe Is accumulating dailv that
the Administration is trying to remove
the impression which the country was
rapidly forming that the President hail
committed himself to large expenditures
for the national defence.
This Impression was based chiefly on
the activity of Administration officials
In seeking several weeks ago to , rests
the Impression that the Tresldent had
been won over to the Idea of an ade
quale navy and army That was when
It was feared the national defence issue
Would hurt the Tresldent politically
unless some evidence was given ,,( his
Intention to move.
Now, however, some of the Tresldent's
advisers feel that the Idea has gone ton
far and that the programme of m.vdcraie
expansion which the Tresldent may ad
vocate will be disappointing to the
country, Hence they are moving to
meet the situation, and the publication
of Ihe letters to Secretaries Daniels and
Harrison Is part of the plan
1 iu reference In the Tresldent's let
ter to Secretary Qarrleon ll regards. as
Significant that Is where the Tresldent
refers lo a "proper training of our clti.
rams to arms" which will be in every
way consistent with our traditions and
our national potloy,"
This is taken to mean that the new
system must not have a compulsory ser
vice feature Home doubt has been ex
pressed by army officials of the posslbll
jty of maintaining an adequate reserve
such as Secretary Harrison has In mind!
without tome compulsory feature in the
plan.
