SALEM, Ore. W) "A highly' satis

every respect" was the closing com- ,
ment of Major General George A. i
White, commander of the Oregon na
tional guard. In discussing the prog
ress of the state military forces in
an exclusive Interview with the Asso?

Oregon still maintains its position

of relative strength. General White
said. The exact numerical strength
Is 211 commissioned officers. 3 war- j
rant officers and 2842 enlisted men. ;
In addition to this active force, the j
national guard reserve numbers 65
commissioned officers and 014 en
listed men.
Tactically, the Oregon troops are
organized into one complete brigade
of infantry, one regiment of field
artillery, one regiment of coast ar
tillery, headquarters and headquar
ters detachment of the 41st division.
field hospital company and a staff
corps.
Recruiting and attendance at drill
problems which caused concern dur
ing the formative stages of tho na
tional guard after the World war.
are practically non-existent now,
General White said. The attendance
records show that during 1931 the
rating for the Oregon national guard
was approximately 00 per cent. Dur
ing the camp of field instruction
held last June at Camp Clatsop and
Port Stevens, the attendance record
reached the unparalleled record of
08.9 per cent.
Throughout the year with the ex
ception of tho 15 days spent in the
field camp, every officer and man
of the national guard is required to
1 attend drill once each week for one
and one-half hours duration. In
I addition, the officers and non-commissioned
officers are required to
spend several hours each week in in
tensive study. The curriculum of the
schools of the Oregon national guard
is said to. cover practically every
phase and problem In the study of
armed conflict, from the basic es
sentials of the recruit soldier to the
intricate maneuvers of divisions and
army corps in the field. i
When the Oregon national guard
closed Its account with the federal
treasury Dec. 31 the ledger disclosed
that olmost 3500,000 In federal funds
had been expended in 1931 within
the boundaries of the state. More
than half of this amount was in the
form of pay to the members of the
national guard for services performed
by them at armory drills and during
the camp of field instruction.
Another Item amounting to well
over 850,000 went to Oregon mer
chants for foodstuffs and supplies,
and another sizeable piece of this
revenue went to Oregon contractors
for Installations at Camp Clatsop.

WASHINGTON (P) A style of speaking "stroight from the shoulder"
Is choractorlstlc of Charles G. Dawes, chairman of the United States Tlele
gatlon to the coming .general disarmament conference at Geneva.
That Dawes is no "pussyfeoter" Is shown by these blasts from his fiery
tongue:
"The history of this war (World war) will be written" around achieve
ments, not shoulder straps. There are too many ptnheads throwing mud."
"If you men (a rougrcKslmuil war Invest gallon committee) would
.spend more tlm tryliiR to sleni the million, of wnsle going on under
your noses, we wiuihl have tt hell of it lot heller government."
"To further the ideal of comradeship as opposed to force as arbiter
between notions Is to further the hope of peace and progress and happi
ness of all humanity."
'
"It Is unthinkable thai Ureal Itrllulu ami the I'nlted States, sol
emnly pledged t; the principle of equality, will ngnln place upon
' their people the luinlen of coiiipetltlvr nav;;l building because tem
porarily Ihelr rApcrt.H disagree In their practical Interpretation of
principle." (At the dedication of the new pence bridge In 1!27 over
the Maguni river.)
"One who is Inclined to believe that economists and technicians, claim
ing to be guided in their intellectual voyages by the stors and compasses
and hleh lighthouses of fixed principles, never compromise as do the
alleged unworthy politicians, is lacking in experience in international
negotiations."
"Intrrnatlnnal muni reduction U task the successful accom
plishment of which requires co-operative employment of two dis
tinctly unreined talents (lint or naval technical experts and of

Comradeship as opposed to force "expresses a purpose which should

they must unite if the kingdom of God is to rcigu on earth,"
