Mrs. Myron C. Miller, Anthony, Kas., national defense chairman, urged national preparedness as pro-

tection against dictator nations. in

her report accepted by the executive committee. “It is much better to pay for preparation now than to lose lives in later conflict,” she said. “It is better to pay by working harder and longer during our time than to pay with the blood of youth. “One of the first of our citizen ship duties is promotion of true American patriotism and .fulfilment of the common defense by showing the public that an adequate national defense is patriotism plus peace preparedness. The present conditions of unrest—seething, turbulent and uncertain—with dictator nations fairly screaming for power, challenge our demacracy.”
