MacArthur urges Manila visit to show truth of army life
A May 10 1901 Washington letter quotes General MacArthur advising Adjutant General Gotbin to transport proponents of liquor traffic and social reform to Manila to see the army in action. He argues Manila compares well with U S cities in morality and discipline, and that travel to other Atlantic ports should be included to shape critics’ views.
