Such opportunities may well be
brought to the attention of officials
of churches with a view to their
giving their Scoutmasters and can-
didates an opportunity to secure
this expert training.

SECRETARY OF STATE
PRAISES SCOUTS
ALL Scouts and all Scoutmast-
1\. ers will doubtless feel proud
of the Boy Scouts of Washington,
D. C., and their leaders who served
as aides and guides and in other
capacities in connection with the
Conference on the Limitation of
Armament, taking the place of
marines for that purpose by formal
request of the conference, and
whose work was of such a high
order that Secretary of State
Charles E. Hughes has addressed
the President of the Boy Scouts
of America as follows:
• The Boy Scouts rendered
valuable assistance during the
sessions of the Conference on
the Limitation of Armament,
and I take this opportunity of
expressing to them, through
you, my sincere appreciation
of their willingness to help
and of the efficient service
which they have given."
THIS AFFECTS EVERY
TROOP
A KILL designed to make Army and
Navy equipment and supplies that
" are suitable for Scout camps and
activities available to Boy Scouts and
leaders is now before Congress. If it is
to be passed, we shall need your help in
impressing members of the House and
Senate with the importance of Scout work.
You of course know the names of your
members, perhaps may even have personal
acquaintance with one or more of them.
In case you agree that this bill ought to be
passed, appropriate letters asking their co-
operation will be helpful. At the moment
of going to press, the bill is before the
Committee on Military Affairs in the
House, and from there will go before the
Committee on Military Affairs in the
Senate. You may be in a position to write
to the chairmen or other members of
these two committees. The bill, which is
known as H.R. 10622, was introduced by
Congressman James G. Strong of Kansas,
a proved friend of Boy Scouts, who would
doubtless be encouraged in supporting the
bill by letters received from Scout leaders.
The exact language of the bill follows:
A BILL
Providing for the loan, issue, or sale of
Army and Navy equipment to the Boy
Scouts of America.
1 BE IT ENACTED BY THE
2 SENATE AND HOUSE OF
3 REPRESENTATIVES OF
4 THE UNITED STATES OF
5 AMERICA IN CONGRESS AS-
6 SEMBLED, That the Secretary
7 of War and the Secretary of the
8 Navy are hereby authorized, under
9 such rules and regulations as they
10 may prescribe, to loan, issue, or
11 sell to the Boy Scouts of America,
12 as chartered by Congress, such
13 articles of equipment and supplies
14 as may be_ helpful to Scouts and
15 Scout officials in conducting their
16 camps and in carrying out the

are directly helpful in Scout
work.
