Discussing the function of busi

"That the conduct of war Is a big
business enterprise which Involves a
knowledge of business principles on
the part of leaders was vividly
brought out during the world war
and preliminary preparations neces
sary to carry on to success once we
become Involved In war, should appeal
to every business man.
Sacrifice Necessary.
"It Is regrettable that a greater
number of business men with vision
do not make the sacrifice needed
under public life during pence, and
give their countrymen the benefit of
practical business experience in the
managership of both national and
International affairs, Instead of leav
ing those Sutles to the professional
office seeker and the political sooth
saver. "In strictly military service, begin

union, insurrection, conspiracy, up
rislnss and Indian wars-from Bhay
rebellion In 176 down to Villa's raid
on Columbus, New Mexico, In 1916.
"During all this time the army has
stood as the bulwark of American
liberty and has protected our homes
and our shores. There Is a necessity
of an adequate force to guard against
the unseen enemy in our midst Those
are avowed on the destruction of
American government In fnvor of
some form of communistic form of
government. Many who cry out for
disarmament foolishly think the world
will follow. Others are led astray
by propaganda. All such tendencies
are dangerous. So we really, need
this small loyal army of ours, not
gJone as a nucleus but as something
that can be relied on In a pinch.
