Peary's Prophecy on Defences of the Nation in Vermont
A large gathering in Vermont heard Admiral Peary outline three core prewar defense goals including eight 8,000 knot battle cruisers, a separate air service with a cabinet liaison, and universal citizen military training. He warned the U.S. must act now to deter war, proposing a coast defense network and aviation education to mobilize 10,000,000 trained soldiers in emergencies. John Barrett warned a Mexico war would threaten Pan-Americanism, with speakers highlighting thrift and national preparedness.
