Roosevelt Urges Universal Training and Service

He warned against pacifists and urged a strong navy, a 250,000 man regular army, and universal compulsory service funded by the state, to keep the United States powerful and democratic. He argued industry must cooperate with government to serve public welfare and defend national interests.
