General Hall Talks to
Business Men On Defense
"Our NatrSYial Defense" was the
lopic upon which Brigadier General
Phil Hall of the Nebraska National
Guard spoke at lunclicon of the pub
lic affairs committee at the Commer
cial club at noon.
The necessity of public interest in
the National Guard was particularly
emphasized by General Hall. "It is
upon the National Guard that United
States depends for defense,"
said General Hall. "The National
Guard is primarily a defensive or
ganization. This country does not
possess a great standing army like
the European countries, but its sit
uation is such that it does not need
to. It does need, however, a strong
National Guard, because any coun
try, no matter how advantageously
situated, no matter how difficult it
might be for any enemy to invade,
must be prepared to make a strong
defense.
"Our National Guard today is much
larger and stronger than it has been
in the past. But it is going to be
still larger and still stronger. The
people of the United States have
taken a strong interest, a great pride
in the National Guard. And the day
is coming I hope when Omaha alone
will send a whole army into the fiaJd
if the call comes."
