Unin formed hut patriotic citizens. It was added, are lending themselves to re duce, If not destroy the military safe guards of the nation as a result of pacifist propaganda.” For Army and Navy. The secretary said the following hail appeared in a recent bulletin of an organization calling itself the Na tional Council for the Prevention of War. "The officially prepared charter en closed showa that we are allowing one-fifth of our budget for 1924 for the army and navy. More than 45 per cent of that budget will go for past and future wars," Secretary Weeka aaid the chart carried a legend stating it had been prepared from the budget report sub mitteil to congress by President Hard ing In December, 1922. • “This government is not and never I has been spending 85 per cent of its budget for miiitnry purposes," Mr. , Weeks declared.
