The Coast Artillery Journal. Volume 63, Number 6, December 1925

Abstract

The Constitution of the United States gives as one of the reasons for the formation of our Government the providing for the common defense. Provision for the common defense cannot be accomplished in this day and age merely by accepting the doctrine as a good one, and then waiting for some one to attack us before we gather our hosts and the material for defending ourselves. Preparation for war in time of peace is necessary. President Coolidge so aptly advised in a recent important address that national defense requires more than merely talking about it, it requires that something be done about it. The people of the United States, having decided that provision for national defense is a wise and sane proposition, leave to their representatives in Congress the extent to which their will shall be carried out.
