THE FUTURE

The future of the arsenal seems assured. The requirements of the national government and of the national guards of the states for material and equipment of the kind produced here are steadily increasing. With our constantly augmenting population and our greater participation in world politics, the necessity for a police force in the form of an army and navy of reasonable proportions, and of a reserve of citizen soldiery becomes more and more evident. Adequate provision for this force will call for more equipment each year, which will mean the continued activity of the arsenal.
