Defense in History of the Nation, Weeks Declares in Report LAIM \ " -WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Realization of the ful of national defense preparations of the army sais cae ska ment when the American people heartedly into the work,” Secretary Week intai first annual report, made public Ampoamey oo “throw themselves whole- last night. “Plans now initiated for preparation i contemplate a more complete pay be inte of for nations] defense ess than at any previous period in the peace time history of ‘We our country,” Mr. Weeks says. have provided a framework for de- fense prepared after careful study. We have an administrative body qual- ifted to direct and control the con- structive development of the frame work. And finally we have prepared the plans of devolpment. All of this is, however, of slight value until the American people, who are the source of material for the body of our de fensive structure, throw themselves wholeheartedly into the work. “To insure success, they must lend financial support to the limit of the insurance demanded. The young men of the country must train themselves to be fitted into their places in the national reserve, The industries must perpare to cooperate in war time pro- duotion, “The American people have started along this path and-they cannot af- ford to turn back. “The present period, marking a transition from the high efficiency which we achieved during the world war at the cost of a great initial waste of life and treasure as the penalty of unpreparedness, must be character- ized as ong of the most important in our history by virtue of the duty which it imposes upon us of insuring that the lessons of the great war are not lost, but that they are perpetuated in enduring forms of organization and continuing policy.” While outlining fully the extraordin- ary Steps taken by the department to reduce expenditures and renewing pledges to keep a firm hand on the purse strings in all that is done, Mr. , Weeks points out the places where in his opinoin too great a limitation upen appropriations will strike down the machinery of self defense that has been devised and make lesgons of the war valueless to generations te come. ( Step by step, he tells how the new army — the regulars, the nationai guard and the organized reserve—har been brought into being. The “ma jor function” of the regular army, bi says, 1s to provide corps of trainec instructors in order that the reserv @lements of the force shall not bx “subjected to the excessive danger: that confront raw troops,” if called for a war emergency. . For this purpose it was essential Mr. Weeks says, that the _ regular army have a large surplus of officers to do this training of reserve person nel. He adds that even if the ‘regu lar army “is: maintained at its pres. ent Sangerously low strength” with many officers released for training work by consolidation of units ‘the present commissioned strength wil! be insufficient to fulfill/the function: required by our national do%snse pol icy when that policy attains {ts reali: zation through acceptance of military training by the American people. “As we decrease the size of ou tanding army,” the secretary asserts “we should increase the activity 0: our instructional work among citizens We cannot afford to let the num bers of our regular officers decline Neither can we afford ‘to permit their quality to be lowered,” Declaring that at present the na tion can obtain from the military aca- demy approximately only one-third of the requirements for the peace tim: organization of the army, Mr. Weeks expresses the belief ‘that the questior of the advisability of doubling the ca pacity of this institution in the near future should, be given consideration.” “This step,” he adds, “would pre pare us for effective solution of a prob lem that now appears inevitable.’ Asserting t there is “no longe: that: graduates of the re a doubt” serve officers training corps machin ery will constitute the main source of supply for reserve officer materia needed to fill out the skeleton organ ization, Mr. Weeks says the appro- priations now available for the sum: mer training camps for such officers Umit the work to a total of 11,085. “I earnestly hope,” he adds} “that the authorization for the following years will be increased to enable us to handle at least a majority of those who apply for this training, Parralleling the plans for mobili zation of the army in the eyent of war, Mr. Weeks shows, runs a similar work in connection with industries whieh is meeting hearty cooperation among business interests., Also there is going forward a study of all me- chanical and other developments in order that there shall be no “lagging in the technique of war behind the technique of peaceful industry. “Pi. lot types of new equipement, the infantry hand grenade to the heaviest gun of the artillery,” the re port says, are being produced and as they are fully tested and approved will gradually supplant existing stand- ard types both with the treops and in the scheme of quantity production in war that underlies the department's efforts. Similar studies as the polson gus and chemical warfare matters gener- ally are inprogress, Mr. Weeks says, adding: "Thought we may be opposed in principle to the use of poison gas, I am of the opinion that we cannot safe- ly presume a similar attitude on the part of possible opponents and neglect the development of chemical weapons if we wish to insure a successful de- fense of a possible war. I hope for con- tinued support of this activity by con- ress and by the chemical industries themselve: Ig dealing with the air develop: * * leaders in such development, and there {s thus in our present project for national defins, a defect that it one of its salient features.” The report points out that com- mercial aviation is an essential fac- tor in adequate development for war in the air and that other nations are Promoting aircraft development com- mercially, through direct subsidy. ‘In a very short time,” it continued t 1s concelyable that we will be deficient in alr force for defense un less greater support and encourage- ment are provided. I consider it sufficiently import- ant to urge constant progress toward developing our air industries. States and municipalities should be invited to co-operate in a determined and ef- fettive provision of suitable national route: be given to the extent necessary to in- sure a prompt initiation of the air route project. ‘Finally, consideration. should be given to the possibility of more direct methods of encouraging the indus- tries concerned in air development, if no other methods avails, by direct subsidy. “I recognize the seriousness of such influences as a matter of precedent, but even more impressive ig the ser: jousness of the situation that might confront us if our air powor falls Siiort of the standards attained by other states.” —_—<——__ HOPE FOR RATE (Continued from Pago 1.) count. xion say ng $818, 000,000. but ified by the commission's audit. mmary of their losses durir; six months aud the dndings. il’ be “relatively small.

Op- [eration of this section of the law has been suspended by agreement be- tween the shipping board and the commission.
