In the meantime the National Security League feels impelled to call
public attention to our deplorable condition of unpreparedness. At the
same time the league issues an appeal for public support in behalf of
the following program for better national defense:
1. Legislation correcting present wasteful methods of military
appropriations and disbursement.
2. Adoption of a definite military policy.
3. A stronger, better balanced navy.
4. An effective mobile army.
5. Larger and better equipped National Guard.
6. The creation of an organized reserve for each branch of our military
service.
All those interested in the work of the league are invited to send their
names and contributions to the National Security League, 31 Pine
Street, New York City.
