The red air and naval forces, the report said, had 28,- 000 and 29,000 men respectively. The total tonnage of the navy was Placed at 160,000, including 171,000 ‘tons of capital ships, and the air/ force had 550 planes, The Ogpu (Soviet -Secret Police) guards had 45,000 on its rolls. Russia spent 1,290,000,000 rubles (roughly $645,000,000) on all its armed forces in 1931, the report said. The data, required of every nation before it entered the disarmament conference, was presented by Russia some time ago with the stipulation it would not be unsealed until the con- ference had got under way. \ Andre Tardieu, minister of war andj to the service of the administrator/trom Japanese headquarters the Chinese Of public works for this The purpose. would “be personnel administration) chance” to withdraw voluntarily from Pegg eats aks regia the Shanghai area.

With respect to certain agencies in agin a I recommend a se- paral lative reorganization of Policy. The first of these is the re- clamation service. Reclamation should have a broader import that that of bringing unproductive land under cultivation. We do not need further additions to our agricultural land at present. Additional agricul- tural production except such mar- ginal expansion as present projects warrant is inadvisable.

Where waterpower is developed as a by-prod- uct, it should be disposed of in ad- vance by contracts which will fairly reimburse the government for its outlay. The reclamation service should be extended to cover these road purposes of storage and con- servation of water rather than the narrow purpose of irrigation.

Conservation of western ranges. There should be a change in licy, in dealing with public lands if we are to preserve their value for grazing and other purposes. The committee on conservation and ad- ministration of the public domain, Secretary Stimson said that if the Chinese, in retaliating against the Japanese, should attack the interna- tional settlement, gravely endanger- ing American lives and property, the Japanese government would have to be held responsible.
