"We are challenged." he m rota, "by th existing situation lo declare ourselves promptly, openly and unequivocally, or be charged property with lack of sincerity and good faith."

He declined. however, to take an Irrevocable stand on the ground that It would not be proper for him to say to a commute of t'oncresa that It would have to lake his plan or none. II declared that he did not believe members of th House dealing with military affairs were icnorsnt nf the military necessities of the Nation, but bad found them well informed. II said he would welcome a frank Interchange of views, but added: "No one will epct me lo acqule.ee In any proposal that I regard aa Inadequate or Illusory."

Under the Constitution of the Cnlted Stales, these state troops must always be governed, officered nd trained by the respective states. "The first line of cleavage, there fore, which most be encountered ana dealt with by the student of the situa tion Is between reliance upon a system of state troops, forever subject to con stitutional llmltallona which render hem absolutely Insecure as a reliance for the Nation, or rellnnco upon ra- mtuil forces raised, officered, trained and controlled by the National authorl- les. t'pon this subject there doe not exi.t and Iher cannot legitimately exist, any difference of opinion among hose who are unbiased and wno Be lieve In real National security and de fense.

The latter would at least leave It open f jr future settlement. "I. of course, am not advised aa to he statements of Intention made Dy Mr. Hay-. to you In the conversations Id with you prior to your message to Congress at the opening oi tne preo- nt senslon.

The issue must be plainly and clear ly drawn. It has nothing whatever to rfo with the numbers of men to be raised or with the means of raising them, as Mr. Hay would have it appear that it has. It is between two bdbo lutely different systems, one of which la based noon the Nation undertaking upon Ita own responsibility the raising and management of tne iNauonm troops: and the other of which leaves us in the position that we have always been in since the institution of the Government to rely upon the states doing these things fdr the Nation a situation in which the Nation Is re- lvlnir uton a. military force that it does not raise, that it does not officer, that It does not train, and that it aoes not control. A mere statement of the situation shows that the two different oroposala are as wide apart aa any two proposals upon any subject pos alhlv ran he.
