GENERAL PERSHING AIDS
TELLS OP PART IN' DEFENSE
PLAYED BY ROADS
Probably no tcstimonjj would
carry more weight as to the im
portance of good roads In. the
- nation's defense scheme than that
of General John J. Pershing, com
mander of the American forces In
the world war and until recently
Chief of staff of the United States
. Looking over the records, the
American Automobile association
. finds that General Porshing testi
fied before the senate committee
on post offices and post roads as
follows: . . .
"The country roads will be of
tremendous value in time of war.
The roads must . bo relied on to
obtain the needed food supplies.
Ever since the co-operative
work toegan on the building of the
federal aid highways, all roads
' constructed with federal funds
have been required to be built so
, that the culverts and bridges
shall be constructed to meet the
. requirements of the army.
