that wars nunc suddenly and there

Carter, recent!) reined; m a state

ment today before (he senate military

committee.

"War is u condition which 111:11 be

forced upon us any dav through

diplomatic notes," he said, "without

action by congress." Greal Britain's

declaration of war against German)

ami the Japanese attack on Russia

were cited as Illustrating the possi

bilities. General Carter laid before the com

mittee a report, submitted by him to

the secretary of wa last April, be

fore his retirement and while In- was

commander of tin- department of

Hawaii, it was prepared at the sec

retary's request for his views as to

a proper military policy for the

United Slates and it seemed evident,

he said, that it formed Ihe basis for

contemplated, even to the name,

which Mr. Garrison has proposed,

tavors Compulsion,

Like ail other regular army offi

cers who have appeared before the

militar) committees, General Carter

thought compulsory militar) service

was the only means of full) insur

ing tin- nation against attack, though

In- believed it unwise to attempt to

enact such a. measure al present, sav

ing that Ihe young men of lb 111-

tr) should be given an opportunity

to come forw ard in v ulunlet rs.

"In much traveling about tin coun
