...disgrace) that should not pass without comment"? Surely such a conclusion should not pass without comment. The author fails completely in his effort to grasp the significance of the expression given by the votes of the delegates from Michigan and Nebraska. He sees but one side of the preparedness movement,--the military; while the delegates from Michigan and Nebraska were able to see the other side,--the economic. And Henry Ford, above all others, stands for an economic preparedness. Mr. Ford has made innovations which bid fair to revolutionize all industry, one of which was the establishment of a profit...
...believe that those delegates were in favor of Mr. Ford as the Presidential nominee because they were desirous of making known their sympathies with the movement which Mr. Ford represents. It is very probable that the ideas of an inventive genius, such as the man who received thirty-two votes on the first ballot for Republican nominee, will be much in demand at the close of "civilization's fight for self-preservation."

But the vital result of the week is not reflected in the number of enlistments; rather in the number of men interested. Preparedness Week has officially ceased, but there is no reason why enlistments...
...Plattsburg Camps crystallized what has been essentially a movement to educate public opinion. With the passing of the Reserve Officers' Act, and the colleges supporting preparedness by instituting military courses, the Camps will soon see developed a more complete system of preparation for the duties of an officer. The intelligent and energetic guidance of General Wood undoubtedly tends to the building up of a valid and thorough system of military education in which both Camp and College will play their parts. Such schemes cannot be improvised in a day, but meanwhile all who are able should be strongly urged...
