Wainrlght, In company with Major, General ' Leonard Wood, reviewed the bill drawn by Representative Hobeoo, suggested correction! and worked out a plan of organisation and action for the proposed board. "Tbe proposed council for national de fense ha long bcfi tboogbt of," said Wainwrlgat. -Heretofore, however, there ha been no sufficiently In terested to - crystallise the accepted irteas in regard to the" ptoa and em body them in a bill before congress. This remained for Hooeon to do,;wlth the cooperation of the army and navy of ficers. "It has alwaya been felt," continued the admiral, "that If ye army and navy could but agree a to methods, then lay thctr plans before high officials and the representatives of the ; congressional committees, eome definite policy might be arrtved at This nation has not and new baa bad, a definite military policy. The army, the navy and .con gress have gone their several ways for a century, with no one principle or set jrarpoae. Each arm of the service has operated independently of the other; and congress has upset the plans of both. mgh Persormei of the Board. Tt is proposed that this council shall com prise tn , its membership the secre tary of war. the secretary of the navy and the chief of staff of the army, the naval aide for operations, the chairmen of the house and senate appropriations committee and the chairmen of the na val and military affairs committees of both houses. - "Thus there would be represented the army; the navy. , the purely legislative x functions of congress, and, finally, the financial Side of the matter in the per fons of the chairmen of the appropria tions committees.

Subject in aU its acts to the approval of the president this : board could consider - every detail of the preparedness for war of the nation. Matters of both : defensive , and of ten sive operations could be taken up. ''Another line in the development of such a board would be the adjustment of the army and navy In proportion to one another. That is a problem that has never been onsidered in fbla coun try that is, whether or not the army was being developed disproportionately to the navy ;or vice versa. The two have never been put Into the seales and balanced, to ascertain' if the develop ment of each is proportionate to the - other. '- .-:v---'---.. ,. -;;- - Wood Folly Approves Kaa. .

Bourke Cockran declared his belief that the work! wKle Increase tn the cost of living was "due to the enormous waste of property caused by the peculiar international insanity which of late years has assumed the form of a frert lied competition between nations to es tablish the most extensive equipment of destruction." : ; ; :' '1 know it ha been suggested that the tariff is reeponsible for the In creased cost of living," Cockran said. Well. I certainly am not an apologist for the tariff; still less it, eulogist. I believe there Is one way, and only one w,ay, to reform a protective tariff, and that Is to end It, root and branch. But the tariff cannot be held entirely, or even mainly, responsible for tb In crease Jn the cost of livinir; that is not local, but world wide. The ' tariff un doubtedly contributed to aggravate this rise In prices, however." , . Cockran declared that oy contrasting the increase in living in England, a free trade country, and the United States, an almost oppressively protective coun try,, it was evident that the cost of arm ament accounted In a big measure. "The whole history of tbe world," he concluded, "show nothing '.comparable to this, manifestation of. International lunacy in the stupendous waste of arm aments.' . " . .
