PREPAREDNESS ADVOCATED BY VICE-PRESIDENT Curtis Declares Adequate Arms Will Save Cost in Wartimes. h ” CHICAGO] Nov. 11 .—Preparedness as a pcactime policy war adi vocated by Vice-President Charles Curtis today in an Arm.stice day address before members of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks here. "Much of the cost of the last war ; was caused by the fact that we were I unprepared for it. and this was the | second such occasion in twenty • years,’ he said. “I hope the lesson ! taught by unpreparedness may not be forgotten. With our wonderful prosperity and great resources our country always should be prepared for national defense. Such a course j will save many lives, millions of dol- ! lars, and untold suffering; it will greatly lessen the possibility of war. "In this country we do not believe in a large standing army, nor do we celieve in having an over-large navy, but cur people want both army and navy to be ample for national defense. “The people of the United States are, and always have been, peacelovivng as a whole. They are industrious, generous, and not quarrelsome as a nation. They concern fthemselves with their own affairs | and do not meddle in the affairs of | other people. They are sympathetic ! with the woes and distress of the i people of the world. They ask I nothing more than to be permitted to work out the r own destiny without interference, and they frecj ly concede this right to others.” Curtis spoke of the nation’s hope, on the anniversary of the settlei ment of its last war—that future i wars might be avoided.
