PLAN OF NATIONAL DEFENSE
Mr. Wilson, Addressing Manhattan
Club nt Fiftieth Anniversary Din
ner, Asks Support for Admin
istration Program.
Now York, Nov. G. President Wil
son wns tho guest of honor and the
principal speaker at tho fiftieth anni
versary dinner of tho Manhattan club
last night at tho Blltmoro hotel.
There was n great gathering of distin
guished men, nnd tho chief exccutlvo
took tho occasion to toll them unrt tlio
country what his administration Is
planning In tho way of national do
fenso. 'Our nmbltlon, snld Mr. Wilson, Is
not only to bo freo and prosperous
ourselves, but nlso to bo tho friend
nnd thoughtful partisan of those who
aro freo or who desire freedom tbo
world over. Wo shall, ho declared ho
believed, never again take another
foot of territory by conquest, or seek
to mnko nn Independent people sub
ject to our dominion. Bccnuso of the
great European conflict, snld the pres
ident, "from ono end of our own dear
country to tho other men are asking
ono nnothor what our own forco Is,
how far wo aro prepared to maintain
oursolvos against any interference
with our action or development"
Though tho mission of Amerlcn In
tho world Is essentially a mission of
penco and good will among men, de
clared Mr. Wilson, we feel Justified In
preparing ourselves to vlnrtlcato our
right to Independent nnd unmolested
action by ranking tho forco that 1b In
ub ready for assertion.
Plans for the Army.
"And wo know," continued tho pres
ident, "that wo can do this In a wny
that will bo Itsolf an lllustrntlon of the
American spirit. In nccordanco with
our American traditions wo want nnd
Bhnll work for only nn army adequate
to tho constnnt nnd legitimate uses of
times of international pcaco. But we
do want to feel that there Is a great
body or citizens who have received nt
least the most rudimentary and ncces
nary forms of mllltnry training; that
they will bo ready to form thcmselve
Into n lighting forco at the call of tho
nation; nnd that the nation has the
munitions and supplies with which to
equip them without delay should It he
necessary to call them Into nctlon
Wo wish to supply them with the
training they need, nnd wo think we
can do so without calling them nt any
time too long nwny from their civilian
pursuits.
"It Is with this Idea, with this con
coptlon In mind that tho plans hnvo
been mado which It will ho my prlvl
logo to Iny before tho congress nt Its
next session. Thnt plan calls for onlv
such nn Incrcnso In tho regular armv
of tho United Stntes ns experlonco has
proved to bo required for the perform
nnco of tho necessary duties of the
army In the Philippines, in Hawaii, In
Porto Itlco, upon tho borders of tho
United Stntes, nt tho coast fortifica
tions, and nt tho military posts of tho
lntorlor. For tho rest. It cnlls for the
training within tho next threo years
of a force of 400,000 citizen soldlerB to
bo rnlsod In annual contingents of 133.
000, who would bo asked to enlist for
throo yonrfl with tho colors and threo
years on furlough, but who during
their threo years of enlistment with
tho colors would not bo orgnnlzod ob
a standing force but would bo oxpect
cd merely to undergo lntonslvo train
ing for a very brief porlod of each
year. Tholr training would tnko placo
In immediate association with tho or
ganized units of tho regular nrmy. It
would have no touch of tho nmntcur
about It, neither would It oxnet of tho
volunteers moro thnn they could glvo
In nny ono year from tholr civilian
pursuits.
"And nono of this would ho dono In
such a wny ns In tho slightest degree
to suporsedo or subordinate our pres
ent sorvlcenblo and clllclent National
Guard. On tho contrary, tho National
Guard Itself would bo used as a part
of tho instrumentality by which train
ing would bo given tho citizens who
enlisted undor tho now conditions, nnd
I should hopo and oxpoct that tho leg
islation by which all this would bo ac
complished would put tho National
Guard Itsolf upon a bettor and more
pormnnont footing than It has over
boon boforo, giving it not only tho roc
ognltlon which It desorvos but a moro
doflnlto connection with tho military
organization of tho nation.
For Development of the Navy.
"It hns been American policy time
out of mind to look to tJiO nnvy as
tho tlrst nnd chief lino of defenso.
Tho navy of tho United Stntes Is al
ready a very great and ofllclent forco.
Not rnpldly. but slowly, with caroful
attention, our nnvnl forco has been
doveloped until tho navy of tho United
States stands recognized ns ono of tho
most ofllclent nnd notable of tho mod
ern tlmo. AH thnt is needed In order
to bring It to n point of extraordinary
forco nud elllclency ns compared with
tho other navies of tho world Is that
we should hnston our paco In tho
policy wo hnvo long been pursuing,
nnd that chief or nil wo should hnvo
a definite policy or dovolopment, not
mado rrom year to year hut looking
woll Into tho future and plmmlng for
a definite consummation. u nun n.i.t
should profit In nil that we do by the
experlonco and example that have
been made obvloim to ut by tho mill
tnry nnd naval events of tho actual
present. It Is not merely a matter ol
building battleships and cruisers and
submarines, but also a matter of rank
ing sure that we shall havo the ade
quate equipment of men nnd muni
tlono nnd BuppllcB for the vcbscIb we
build and Intend to build. Part of our
problem 1b tho problem or what I may
call tho mobilization or tho resources
or the nation at tho proper time If It
should over ho necessary to mobilize
them for national defense. We shnll
study tho ofllclency and adequoto
equipment ns carefully as we shall
study tho number and slzo of our
ships, and 1 believe thnt the plans nl
ready In part made public by the navy
department nro plans which the whole
nation enn uppiovo with rational en
thusiasm "No thoughtful man feels any panic
hnsto In this matter. The country If
not threatened from nny quarter She
stands in friendly relations with all
tho world. Her resources nro known
nnd her self-respect nnd her capacity
to euro for her own citizens nnd her

wo have become thoughtful of the
things which nil rcnsonablo men con
slder necessary for security and self
defenso on tbo part of every nation
confronted with the great enterprise
of human liberty nnd Independence
That Is all.
"In tho fulfillment of the program 1
proposo I shnll ask for the hearty sup
port of thu country, of tho rank and
fllo of America, or men or all shades
or political opinion. I would not reel
