E law with a personnel of less iarbord, deputy chief of staff, declared today before the senate appropriations committee in connection with its consideration of the pending army appro- priation bill. % war department with less than 288,000 men, he said, would mean (hat “something must give way.” “There ts a minimum limit below which you cannot co with safety,” General Harbord told the committee. “Ibe air service cannot Le efficient Below $15,000 men; the cavalry and fie artery cannot mfely be dimin- ished. If 150,000 or more men cannot be had, then tn my judgment congress should frankly state a different mi ton for us and not mislead the coun: try on our national defense.” Comparison with the prewar army} authorized In 1916 would be mislead- ing, the deputy chief of staff asserted since the army then numbered 65 regi- ments of infantry against 38 at pres- emt, 25 cavalry regiments against 14 end 21 regiments of field artillery againg, 18, not to mention various new units which since have been add ed, all of which have tended to reduce the strength of the “fighting cle ments.” Ec “I believe the appropriation as assed by the house of representatives i@ dangerousty email and imperils the wational defense,” General Harbord continued, “particularly striking at ‘the mational guard, the organized re- werven, the reserve officers training <amps and the civilian military train- img camps and so reduce the regular estimate that the purpose of the Act of Jane 4, 1920 (national defense act amended) cannot be carried out.” General Harbord outlined the re quired functions of the war depart: ment. The first and primary duty, he «aid, was to “train and develop the national guard.” “Tits wo consider our principal mis- wion,” he explained, “there are now employed in the work 965 officers and 1,800 soldiers.” Among other responsibilities of the ‘war department, he included the matin- tenance of necessary schools ‘for train- ing the component parts of the army, the maintenance of “the administra- tive overhead” for the regular army, mational guard and organized reserves; ‘providing of garrisons for overseas Possessions and continental coast de Attempt to carry out the work laid down for fense, and to maintain a well trained | force for emergency purposes. “The school system,” he said, “took 2,671 officers and 6,612 men, the adminis trative organization 2,276 officers and 14,719 men and the coast defenses, with only 12 of the 26 stations manned —required 477 officers and 6,592 men.” Garrisons for overseas possessions were estimated at 1,907 officers and 34,670 enlisted men by General Har- who warned against the United| s shunning its “unmistakable| ligation to keep ofder and preserve life and property” in those districts “Should we B® again foreed into war,” he said, “Our overseas garri. sons would practically remain as tho emergency ‘finds them. It is doubtful if we could reinforce them after war had actilally begun and to do It while relations were strained would ptoba- bly precipitate maters; the first overt act in the war between Russia and Japan preceded the declaration of war.” eet ee EP.
