Under the generals terms of the law, the letter said, the corps area commanders are responsible wdthin th limits of their respective commands for the sucess of this great national undertaking, and the most important mission of regular army officers of peace, next after assuring a' d highly efficient and regular army, is the development of th national guard and the organized reserves, All citizen soldiers who are free t1 meet the special requirements imposed on members of the national guard should be encouraged to enter that force, the letter continued. All young men after their voluntary military training In the reserve officers training corps or training camps should be encouraged to join a unit either of the national guard or the or-- i ganized reserves. There should be no rivalry between the two forces, but rather an interchange of service them.

The corps area commander and all officers of his organization wait be expected to bake on active interest in these forces and establish toward them the most cordial attitude of sympathy and helpfullness to the end that the army of the United States may be welded into a harmonious and efficient whole ready to meet any emergency that may call for its services. well-traine- be-twe- New Trade Commission Washington.
