AMERICAN LEGION OPPOSES REMOVAL MILITARY TRAINING NON-MILITANT TYPE OF NATION AL DEFENSE ADVOCATED. Believe That Should Be Defense in of Nation Hands of Peace-Loving Citizens. James Todd, Commander of Dis trict No. 6 of the American Legion, presented the following article on national defense and compulsory military training in our colleges and universities in Oregon at a re cent meeting of the local Post. "There is a movement on the part of an organization with headquar ters in a large eastern city to bring about the removal of military train ing in our colleges. Oregon is deem ed a vulnerable point of attack at the present time. This issue haa not yet come to a head, but we want you to know the attitude of the American Legion on this question, and we hope that if the need arises you will lend your aid in maintain ing a sane and non-militaristic type of national defense. “Now is the time when every ef- • fort must be made to keep the Uni ted States out of war. Neutrality leg islation, ‘taking the profit out of war’ and every other measure to this end must have the wholehearted support of all citizens. A certain amount of preparedness for defense only must be maintained. The American Leg ion, the greatest pacifist group in the country today, believes in plac ing the defense of the nation, so far as possible, in the hands of every day, peace-loving citizens, rather than exclusively in the hands of pro fessional military men. “Witth the defense of the nation resting in the hands of civilians qualified for military leadership in case of emergency, we are assured of a non-militaristic policy as compared with the policy that prevails in some countries today where the na tional defense is entirely in the hands of professional soldiers. “That is why we are in favor of military training in our institutions of higher education. It is only by means of this training that the Or ganized Reserve can be maintained, which, together with the National Guard, removes the necessity for a large standing army, thus saving the citizens of the nation from a great burden of taxation.” — • =------- EASTER MORNING CHURCH SERVICES PLANNED.
