Thursday, Jan. 29, 1931 GENERAL PERSHING 0N INshltllfhltillN'r Says U. S. Defenses Already Cut to Limit; U. S. Least Armed Nation in World In spite of all the pacifist propa- ganda to the effect that Uncle Sam must diiarm as an example to the rest of the world, there are many lane minds among us who still re- member the advice of Washington and who have learned from the stor- ies of _history what usually happens to the nation unprepared and dia- united. Among these we can list, of course, Gen. John J, Pershing, who led the American forces in the World War and who knows whereof he speakes. General Pershing as every one knows, is not a militaristic jingo but a cool-headed patriotic American. "People say we should disarm," the leader of the American armies in the World War is quoted as saying. "Ameries already is diaarmed. Good men and good women tell us that we should throw away our arma- menu. We have very little to throw menu. We have very little to throw away.” Declaring no one hates war more than he does, he says: "I pray fervently {hat-were will.bt no mor hate it. rots. T to end ll think have b others ', making. "We know' that we will not provoke war. But what is there in history which authorizes us'to conclude that some one else will not provoke one some of these days'. It is not a ques- tion of whether or not we believe in war. It is a question whether we shall defend Mist wondereful country of ours if some other nation which does believe in war should attack us." The (act is that the United States is now the least armed nation in the world, taking into consideration its size, population and wealth. Our army though efficient and capable of rapid expansion in time of necessity, is little more than a national police force in size. Second and third rate countries in Europe have greater armies than we, Now if our ardent ptteiiUta really want disarmament why do they not etyndtte their efforts to Europe where their iMuenee is needed. rrotn their actions and their wild words we are led to believe that what they most desire is not to dis. arm the world but to embarrass Uncle Sam. . a Fewer Accidents in Aviation During 1930' Flying is getting safer.
