Show H OGDEN AS A WESTERN H WEST POINT. H Unanimous is the verdict that the H United States must cease to be a H China in military equipment, and that H this countrj' should proceed without delay to create new arsenals, gun mmjt factories and ammunition plants. H Ogden should put in a claim as be- H ing geographically where those means H of defense should be established. H Plants of that kind should be far 1 enough removed from the sea coast mjM to prevent capture by a sudden inva- H S'on, and yet sufficiently close to Hj make their output quickly available H at coast defense points. H Ogden also might make an eTfort to H have a branch West Point, where Hj young men could- be schooled in the H science of war. H This country must prepare along Hl those lines; must increase the manu- H facturo, of munitions and the training H ' of young men in all that is known of HL var. and no place In the United States H is better situated to be the site of a H West Point or a military supply depot H than Ogden. |
