FIGHT IS FORECAST ON SMALLER ARMY Strong Opposition to Reduc- ing Land Forces Anticipated if Reduction Is Asked. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Army men and friends of national defense generally are on the tiptoe of expectancy with regard to President Hoover's forthcoming recommendations about military expenditure. They are likely to be contained in his message to the regular session of ‘Congress next week. The President waited, before putting them on paper, for the general staff survey which he ordered made— somewhat to th 's consterns- The nature of the staff’s report has not been dis- closed. The well informed assumption is that, while Gen. Summerall and his colleagues may advise cuts and curtau- ments in the military establishment here and there, they have not proposed to the Commander-in-Clilef any dras- tic slashes in Uncle Sam's land defense arrangements at home and overseas. If, despite possible general statr counsel that the United States Army is already skeletonized to the bons, Mr. Hoover should call upon Congress substantially to reduce the Army budget, the President is in for a con- test with Capitol Hill. Both in the House and in the Senate are members determined to keep the country's sword sharp and its powder dry on present lines, believing those lines to be the irreducible minimum compatible witn national security. Still Feel Economy. As a matter of fact, military officials | intimately associated with the budget | and engaged more or less constantly with it declare that the Army has never recovered from the Coolidge, economy era. During the former President's five and & half years of office the drive for retrenchment at the War Department was Intensive. As a consequence, S0 Army leaders contend, hardly a penny was devoted to strictly military pur- poses that was not deemed utterly in- dispensable. The corresponding result was that a lot of things were left un- done which the leaders wanted to do, but for which they lacked the where- Durlnsnthe past five years there has been a steady, but unayoidable, increase in the Army expenditures owing to three major causes. In 1926 the “strict- ly military” budget was roundly $260,- 000,000. Since then it has risen to $330,000,000. The difference of $70,- 000,000 is due (1) to the annual in- stallment of the five-year Army Air Corps costs, (2) to the urgent need of better and more housing facilities for troops and (3) to the fact that where- as, in the years immediately following the World War, the Army was able to live on & large amount of surplus war wx:ks. these have gradually been used , Tequiring the purchase of new sup- h‘l at prices much heavier than fnrmer rates. By far the biggest item in the Army budget is the pay for officers and men and for allowances to retired personnel. There has been no increase whatever in the pay of Army men since 1922, although salaties and wages in virtually every other field of occupation have gone up during the past seven years, “Political Garrisons.” Most of the talk concerning Army cuts has ranged around midcontinent military posts, the Coast Artillery and the Cavalry branch. The posts have come under fire on the ground that for the most part they are “political garri- sons"—i.e., establ ents maintained not. lo much for their military value as 1 glory and patronage uses of mmben of Congress.

C, IBRITISH OIL TANKER men, military men assert that they have undoubted value from the Army’s stand- point, The principal asset they con- stitute is thlt they enable the distribu- tion of the, Nation's military rerou at many scattered points. Thereby numerous officers are en- abled to gain practical experience in the command of troops, learn how to use initiative, and generally acquire in morale that training so essential to use in real emergencies. The same thing is said to apply to enlisted men. It is contended that it would not apply if | there were only a few primary Army | posts, in three or four sections of the country, as has been proposed in some Maj. Gen. C. H. Bridges, general of the United States Army, has just submitted his annual report. “It reveals afresh with what slender per- sonnel the Republic's land defenses are kept up. The grand total of officers and men is 137,529. It consists of 12,175 commissioned officers, 1,138 Regular Army warrant officers, active list, and 124,216 enlisted men, including 6,491 Philippine Scouts. In addition to all these, there are 734 Army nurses, 29 contract surgebns and 850 cadets at' the United States Military Academy. Only 98,943 officers and men are on:duty in the Continental United States, In Hawaii there are 14,228, in the Canal Zone 8- 784, in Alaska 228, in Porto Rico 1,196, in the Philippines 12,337, in China 1,012 and “scattering” 1,735.
