Washington Jan, 20. "Gompers, president of the "American Federation of Labor, to-day told the National Civic Federation in a speech often interrupted with applause, that organized labor throughout the United States favored adequate nar tional preparedness under conditions, which he summarized in * part as follows: "Recognition of and co-operation with the organized labor movement _in all fields of activity; indystrial, commercial, political, social, moral. "Establishment and extension the citizen soldiery, democratically organized, officered, administered and controlled "Prohibition of for strike duty "Education of the wage earners upon an equality of all other citizens in manual training, physical and the Ase of militia - Samuel | of ie m---- m-- zenship, asserts its right to repre. sentation in all committees, commis. sions or bodies that decide upon | military defence. > {i "The labor movement demands | democracy in all things, including | military organizations and institu- | tions of the country. "The labor movement has never advocated the abolition of agencies for the enforcement-of right and jus- | tice or for the abolition of the mili- tary army of the Government, but it does demand that these shall be so | organized as to prevent their mis- certain | use and abuse as a means of tyranny against the workers and to prevent | the development of pernicious results that have grown out of militarism, ithe building up of a separate. mili- tary caste and the subversion of civil {1ife to military government and mili- tary standards."

"But I have heard om all sides {| that after April or May you will be able to furnish an ample supply for both yourselves and your Allies." , "That is not the fact; and if any such impression exists in America I | beg you to do all you can to dissipate | it. We now have more than 1,- 000,000 men and women doing ad- mirable work in more than 2,000 fac | tories and we hope to increase the { number greatly, but, even go,. we shall ,need more and more--all, in | fact, we can get." | "I infer that you do not concur in { the confident anticipations expressed to me yesterday by one of your col- | leagues that the war will end in July, precisely as predicted by -Fro fessor Munsterberg."" "What is your own opinion?" "Undoubtedly of as little and pos- sibly of as much value as any I nave heard. First, that while Germany can be made to suffer privations she can never be starved into sub- mission. "Secondly, that the French and English troops cannot reasonab- ly hope to cross the Rhine Jin pre- ponderating numbers," The minister made no sign, asked quietly: '"'And then?" * "That the only sure method Jf | winning a real triumph is, while | holding a great body of the enemy to protect their west Yront, to.train, equip and officer, with the aid, may- be, of the Japaneses a mighty, irre- sistible Russian army And that would require time a deliberate dedication of at last two and, prob- ably, three years to make certain the result." The minister sighed and said: "I cannot admit that .you are right; I do not insist that you are wrong jut, "he added slowly and but SAMUEL GOMPERS, Pr --------------. mental development in for the defence of the country." Must Safeguard Nation. While he insisted that military or. ganizations must be democratic and the nation must be safeguarded against the evils of militarism, Mr Gomperg declared that America's own freedom had Ween achieved by resistance to tyranny and that paci- fists failed to understand that qual- ity of the human race which men willing to risk their all for an ideal. "Men worthy of the name," said, "will fight even for a 'scrap of paper' when that paper represents ideals of human justice and freedom Though we may realize the brutal ity of war, though we may know the | equally | value of life, vet we, know well what "would he the effects upon the lives and the minds of men who wauld lose their rights, who would accept denial of justice rather than hazard their physical safety "As the result of the European war there is hardly a citizen who has fot in some degree modified his opinions upon preparedness and na- tional defence, The belief prevails that there must he some poliey of preparedness and national défence, although there is wide divergence as to what policies -ouglt to be adopt- wd. Country's Real Problem, "War as it is waged to-day is not determined merely by tlie men on the battlefield, bat also. by the mobili- zation of the national résources, na- tional industries and commerce. The real problem is the organization of the material forces and resources of the country, she co-ordination of these in the furtherance of a definite policy." : "Whatever. plan may be adopted," said Mr. Gompers, explaining the at- titude of labor, © the organized. la- hor movement in America demands that certain fundamental. principles must be regarded. All policies and plang for national defence must be determined by representatives, of the people. The wrganized labog : organizing, officering, administering and leading | in operations of a military character made | he! with the utmost seriousness, 'there may appear another way"--and { then, after a nfoment, he elucidated his thought with '"motable precision and particularity--but not for publi- cation. It was a most extraordinary dis- | sertation by a no less extraordinary man "At the close of the visitor repeated the final words addressed by a recruiting sergeant to a motley crowd on Ludgate Hill: "And now, my lads, you want to be on the winning side, don't you? Well, for sixtéen months the Ger- | mans have been trying to win and have failed. And for sixteen month; | the British have been trying to lose | and they've failed. Now, who's go- ing to win?" The minister smiled grayly "It is," he said quietly, "a perfect picture of the situation And such, indeed, it seems to be Here is an extract from a talk with the most increasingly powerful man in the Empire" (the English- man is speaking): "One.lesson, at least, it seems to me, may be drawn from this war by America If England had not in- terposed, France would have been crushed and the eyes of the conquer- orbwould have turned instantly to the western Wemisphere. I suppose you are aware that the German gen- eral staff had formulated plans for the invastor of "tie Uhiled States as complete in every detail were their plans for invading France. But for the British fleet, at this moment your great seaboard cities, your na- tional capital and the entire area containing munition factories would be at the mercy of that general staff. There is no question under the sun of thaf fact, and there is hardly less doubt that, if Germany should win, opulent America would have to pay the great indemnity that could not be squeezed out of the exhausted Al- lies. Practically, therefore, it seems | to me plain that at this juncture in the world's history German militar- ism is the living menace of America and British navalism is her salva- tion, It is a point worth consider in any rate." .
