Defense Leaguers Seek Military Road Link Coast to Coast
Members of the Pacific Coast Defense league from Washington Oregon and California met in a two day conference to coordinate auto and state roads into a military highway system stretching from the Canadian boundary to Mexico. They cited the need for rapid troop movement to deter invaders and reviewed the past year while planning a 12 month campaign. Letters from President Wilson and Senator Miles Poindexter were read, Wilson urging no overlapping of interests. The highway plan is reflected in a bill introduced in the House by John B K Baker of California.
