More than that, two disasters to his puny army on the western frontier had made him uncomfortably aware of how inadequate he was to defend the new nation if trouble came to its shores. From its beginnings, the United States has been a peace-lovin- g nation and has figuratively leaned over backwards to avoid any semblance of militarism. The founding fathers, seeing in Europe the results of despotic power supported by a strong military establishment, resolved that there should be no such thing here to hinder their efforts to establish a government whose power would be derived "from the consent of the governed." When Washington became our first President two of the principal objectives of his administration were the establishment of a strong financial system and a sound military organization. Alexander Hamilton, his secretary of the treasury, provided the former, but Gen. Henry Knox, his secretary of war, had more difficulty in securing the latter. Knox prepared a plan for compulsory military training and service, which Washington recommended to congress on January 1, 1790.lt was not favorably received, mainly because Knox, in his letter of transmittal, said that his proposed continental militia would protect the country from internal aa well aa external enemies and he also stressed his opinion that the government should possess a strong corrective arm. ' The secretary' choice of words was unfortunate, especially at this particular time when congress was trying to safeguard the liberties of the people by enacting n Bill of Rights as the first amendments to the Constitution. Naturally a proposal for a strong corrective arm rang harshly on tha congressional ear and Knox's plan was rejected, lint National Defense BilL On July 1, 1790, Elias Boudinot of New Jersey introduced a national defense bill which proposed that tiie organization and training of our peacetime army consist iff grouping all the younger men in comlight infantry special panies in each regiment of the If war came, general militia. these companies could be assembled into battalions and regiments and thus form a new ConSimilar comtinental army. panies were to be formed in the other branches at the service and all of them were to have a "sound and be system of discipline trained under federal supervision. The first congress failed to act on the Boudinot bill and in the first session of the second congress a similar measure was introduced by Jeremiah Wadsworth of Connecticut. But before it was finally passed it was so amended and emasculated that Wadsworth himself voted no on it. Washington, though greatly disappointed in this new militia law, nevertheless signed it with the nines in Italy, claims to be the oldest state In Europe. It was founded in the Fourth century.

DEPARTMENT a G&rvruSdtut a,IUddjUt5Bmf tin Saw of mdtswuiwUIbt it tt kgvraaTirrrS : fat hope that it might be amended later. How worthless was this law was proved two decades later when the nation tried to assemble an army to repel the invasion of the British in the War of 1812. It failed miserably with the result that the enemy easily defeated the defenders of Washington, captured that city and burned the Capitol and the White House. Meanwhile events on the frontier already had proved that our regular army was inadequate to perform the tasks expected cf it In 1790 it suffered a severe reverse under the leadership of Gen. Josiah Harmar who was sent to subdue the hostile tribes in the Old Northwest The next year occurred the defeat and rout of the army led by Gen. Arthur St Clair, the worst military disaster in America since the days of Brad dock. These two fiascoes not only resulted in the Indiana renewing their attacks on the western settlements with even greater fury but they indicated to an alarmed country how impotent was the new federal government. . More than that, France and England were on the verge of renewing their ancient feud and there was danger of the United States being drawn into it All of these factors pointed to the urgent necessity of our strengthening our forces for national defense. So Secretary Knox launched his recruiting campaign to obtain a regular army that would be equal to the task of defeating the confederation of tribes which had been formed by Chief Little Turtle cf the Miami. In the light of the present drive to increase our army, the instructions to recruiting officers sent out by Secretary Knox in 1792 towanee will not be made tor any cruit who shall desert before ha a march from the rendezvous of the troop in th State whara ha ahaU have been recruited. 1b utmost fairneie to to be used by tha recruiting officers, to engaging their recruits; no Individual therefor to to b foliated In a state of intoxication, or to bo (worn until alter be (ban have boon foliated far tha space of twenty --tour hours.

One of the worst WASHINGTON. bottlenecks in the World war of 1914-1and one which contributed in no small measure to the eventual taking over of the railroads by the government was due simply to the fact that shippers and receivers of for freight alike used railroad cars storage purposes. The railroad executives are very much worried about the possibilities evnow, and ara determined to do critierything they can to prevent a cal situation. The last thing they want is another spell of government operation. In the last war the worst spot was t the ports.

There was no use hauling trains to any port. There would be no place to park the cars after they got there. A natural sequence was that there developed a shortage of cars. Naturally if cars are held In yards, loaded, but with no place to put their contents, they cannot also be out on the road hauling the freight. So there were not enough cars. SHORTAGE THREATENS is approaching This situation again. This time the first bad effect is not so noticeable in the ports as in the sources of supply around the coal mine heads, and at the plants producing goods for export Yet one would think, because of the necessities of the convoy system, that the situation in the puts would be worse. But the convoys do not start from American ports. The ships sail up to a certain port in Canada, and the convoys are organized from there. This slightly improves the situations at the American ports, though this also might easily become serious. But more than 41,000 cars loaded with coal and unconsigned are now being held around United States coal mines, according to the car service .division of the Association of American Railroads. 'Although coal loading ia now more than 20 per cent above that of the corresponding, period of 1939, the association said, there is no shortage of cars and none is anticipated. BAD ECONOMICS Rushing the war profits tax bill through congress now is excellent politics, better psychology, but bad economics. Actually it would have been much better to follow the original plan, which was to make a careful study of the whole situation in the months that intervene before the new congress convenes in January. Then a bill would have been all prepared, and it would have been considered by a congress in which the individual legislators would not have to face an election for 18 months. All the bugs" and jokers which can possibly be seen in advance in any piece of legislation would have been caught and rectified. In short, the hill would be as good as can be expected from any such unwieldy groups aa compose the house and senate. The tax on heavy profits could have been applied to 1940 earnings and hence have produced as much revenue as a bill enacted now. True, it Is a little advantage to business men to know just what the tax will be, when they still have before them something like five months of the year the earnings of which will be taxed.

SOME OBJECTIONS The objections to framing the law now tt course are that in the desire to take every possible dollar of war profit, congress may easily do things which impair tremendously the efficiency of our national defense. The law can easily be such that it will deter Individuals and corporations from switching from their normal line to things that the government needs. It Is not a case of patriotism. Very little evidence is before the national defense commission now, nor did ti develop in the first World war, that manufacturers declined to do things necessary to the national defense because of any tax situation. That is not the type of thing that ia feared from an unscientific war profits tax. What can happen now and what did happen In the last war is that there is a certain discouragement of supply sources.
