DEFENSE DAY
(Continued from nage one.)
on the attitude of his brother. Govern-
or Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska to-
ward observance of that day. He stated
his own position as follows:
“The democratic platform pledges the
democratic party to employ all its ener-
gy to the outlawing of the whole sys-
tem of waii The republican party
made no such plaftorm declaration and
it is therefore quite natural that the
republican administration and the dem-
ocratic leaders should differ as to the
>ropo*ed mobilization. !
“The proposed scheme does not pre-
pare the nation for war! It simply
gives an exhibition of whatever prepar-
ed loss we have. Unless the effect is
to frighten other nations it may be
accepted as a suggestion that they
show us their military toys.
• The world Has more important work
than to engage in rivalry in showing
off preparedness for war.”
(By The Associated Tress)
WASHINGTON' July 30.—Plans for
th» observance of September 12 as De-
fense Day a project which has become
a subject of much public controversy
are laid down in detail in instructions
sent by the war (Apartment to the chief
office of all its branches and to the
commanding generals of all corps areas.
As made public by the department for
the first time the instructions say that
t:e general plan for the day has two
main objective* namely patriotic dem-
onstration and a test of patriotic mo-
bilization." ' By way of preface it is
explained that in lieu of “extensive
field exercises wi i«o for cconomi? rea-
sons cannot he held during the present
calendar year the secretary of war has
decided to initiate for continental Uni-
te ' States a mobilization demonstra-
tion which will serve as an occasion for
assemblage and ceremonies involving
public mawfastations of loUtG.
piactical patriotism." * ^

ordered the mobilisation of the Colorado

September 12 Governor Fxr< et. In an in-

porter today went on record in opposi-

day.
(Bv The a sociatld Tressl
WASHINGTON July 30.—The criti-
cism. by Governor Charles W. Bryan of
Nebraska of plans for the observance
of “National Denfense Day” September
12 is attributed in a statement by the
war department to “rather extraordina-
ry inferences from what seems to be a
pi r-fectly ilear document. *
His order for assembly of national
guard organizations and appointment of
local committees to help in arrange-
ments for observance of the day the
statement :;dJs “will enable the de-
pnrtment to carry cut its plan in Ne-
braska completely."
Fxpressir.g “surprise" over the gov-
ernor's declaration against “mobiliza-
tion" o' civil or industrial resources or
any unity indicating a national holiday
devoted to preparation for war after he
had expressed a desire “to cooperate”
the department a:sorts that his stand
“presumably is due" to the wording of
instruction to reserve officers issued by
the seventh corps area commander.
This document the department empha-
sized makes “no reference” to “mobil-
ization of civilians" providing only
“that civilians who volunteer their serv-
ice for the day will be permitted to par-
ade with national guard and organized
reserve organizations in order that the
processes of mobilization may be stim-
ulated. -
Answering the givernor's statement
th-t the “defense test" might convey
a wrong impression at a time when in-
U motion situation is calm the depart-
ment argues that it was “just during
such periods of calm that normal meas-
ures can he taken without alarming any
o e else."
