I may mention no leasNa pereonsge lhan our own d isUngulsbed Govern or, the Honorable Locke Craig. 4. The spirit of the fourth para graph of your resolution is Acerely a P pi eclated and 1 assure you that I can appreciate your viewpoint of tho situation. (a) No doubt you have followed the proposed legislation a'ong the lines of "preparedness"^ in Congress as closely as have we of the National Guard; and no doubt yo uare aware that the chief point "X divergence of opinion between the National Guard and the "professional soldier" is | Section 66. of the so-called "Cham | ber'.ain Bill.*- This section, as I un ( dorstand it, is simply a re-hash ot i, the so-cxlled "Continental Army ! Scheme," proposed J>y former Secre Itary ot the War Garrison under the idea that "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." During a debate on this section in' the Senate of the United States, charges were made against^ National Guard Officers by 8ora:dr Chamber-| lain et al*. that the National^ Guard were maintaining in Washington "a bo d" and "ins'duous lobby" in tho] Interost of the "Hay Bill," which had received the approval of rnpre*eu l la* Ives from the State of North Car I o'.ina. _ I As a member both of the National .Security League and of the National CuarJI, I felt, so to speak, that It arythlng "the boot was ou the other f.;of-" 1 felt it -my duty, therefore, a* a guardsman, to call these facts, mt th such proof as 1 could offer, to the attention of my senators; and, as a member of- the Security League, to tender my resignation. My primary intention was not ?o attack the Security League, eo-ca led. but td rebut the charges made against the officers of the National Guard. The letter to which I referred in! my communication of April 8th to Senators Simmons and Overman was ~ot the lrst, nor is it the last, which I have received along simitar lines. As a citizen of North Carolina, as \ National Guardsman of more than wenty years' service, and, as I hope, \ aptriotic c!tl?en of the Untted states, 1 feel that 1 had *he right^to hlnk that the "Hay BUI" was be?t for our country. This, It appears, was likewise the opinion of both Senators and every Congressman from our State. When the full-page advertisement of the National Socurlty League ap NOTICE OP HALE. Under and by virtue of the ^wer of sale contained In a certain mort gage deed executed Januacy 20, 1912, by Bannon Keys and Peggy Key* to W. R.

Congress),' It did not seem to jns lhat the Na tional Security League was proeeid ?d? along broad. National lines.' For jne. I had rather trust the destiny: of our country in the . hands and hearts of those gentlemen 'fr ho com pose the House of Representative* oMhe United States of America than a thousand Security Leagues. When 1 received the lttter of March 38 th, signed by Mr. 8. Stan wood Menken as Pretldcnt of the Se curity League, requesting me, not only to write or wire my Senators and represent atlvee in tupport of Section 56 of the "Chamberlain Bill," I bnt also to write "any other mem bers' of Congress that 1 might be able to Influence," I thought and was convinced, as stated in my former-, letter, that this was not on'y a~lorm| of "lobbying" of the most undesir able kind. but that the supporters of Scction 56 were using means to se-! I cure the enactment of that section ! which the members of the^Nstlonnl j Guard were^not using, and were, at tho came time,' Imputing -their own faults, to us.' The lettrri from tho National Security League has been published snd It speaks fir I itself. No such communication has ever been sent ma by any member of | the National Guard Association. Upon the question as to whether the National Security League -is a "professional lobby" or no!, let ni3 suggest this as a reason for my con clusions. Duricg all the period' that I have been connected with It, they have sought contributions and ser vices (my contribution was very small), but these .contributions were used to Influence legislation acd In the way indicated In the letter of Mr. Menken. As stated before, I beliove that this is the mosf insid uous form that could have }een de signed. With reference to the difference between the proposed law as con tained In tho *?Hay Bill" and Section 56 of the "Chamberlain Bill," It would give me much pleasure to Qls cuss this matter with you or any represedtatlv that you might name. With assurances, of my moat cor dial personal regard and reapects, I beg to remain. Yours very sincerely, W1LBT C. RODMAN, Col. ?nd Inf. N. C. N. Q. .NUlltK UK AUMIMBTIUiiU.X.
