OTTAWA MFG. CO., 2341 Wood 5t,, Ottawa, Kas, Mention the Lbader When Writing Advertisers Compulsory Training Cost Enormous ‘One Billion Dollars a Year, Estimate of Republican Leader, to Be Added to Present Three-Billion Deficit Washmgton Bureau, Nonpartisan Leader. mwg | NIVERS AL military #| training probably will not be enacted into law at ‘this session of con- gress. - Not only has the Temocratic caucus de- clared against it. but Representative Mondell, Republican floor leader, has pointed out that the cost would be at least $1,000,000,000 a.year. National officers of the American Legion are making a strong effort to secure pas- sage of this bill, together with a bill . to compensate service men at the rate of $50 for each full month of service. The bonus bill is finding some support. A group of representatives, including Baer of North Dakota and Keller and Ellsworth of Minnesota, are leading the fight for fairer compensation for the service men. Baer points out that needed revenues for this purpose can be raised:-by taxes on war profits. But: the western and southern congressmen are hesitating to force military train- ing on their constituents, in.a cam- paign year, especially in view of the enormous expenditures that would be required. Analyzing the financial situation, Representative Mondell said in a speech to the house: “I have been very much surprlsed to hear the statement thatea system of universal compulsory military train-’ ing can be put in operation in the -United States for $125,000,000. The man or organization that makes such a statement as that is either lament- ably ignorant or willfully misstates. “The fact is that a system of uni- versal compulsory military training could not be inaugurated in America and operated for the first year for less than $1,000,000,000, and could not be carried on thereafter for less. These figures are conservative.” TRAINING CAMPS FOR 600,000 MEN NEEDED Mondell explained that any such system of compulsory military train- ing would apply to at least 800,000 physically fit young men. If one- fourth of these men were excused, there. would remain 600,000 to be trained. 'Most of the plans call for .four months of training. Add to this period another 30 days for calling, assembling and transporting them to the camps, and an equal period for dishanding and sending them home, and the government would have to calculate upon a period of six months during which it must clothe, feed, care for, transport and train more than 600,060 young men each year. “The present cost per man of the military establishment of the United States,” he said, ‘“averages approx- imately $2,000 per annum. ' Assum- ing for the sake of argument that it would cost no more per man for the men in training than for the men in the regular military establishment, and the minimum cost for the mini- mum number of men would be $600,- 000,000. If fewer than one-fourth of the 800,000 physically- fit men ‘were excused, the cost would be more. “But every item of the cost.of men in training, with the possible exception of the item of pay, would be higher than the corresponding cost of a man in the regular military establishment. That would:be due to-the fact that, in the first instance, there would be the cost of-assembling; the cost of trans- portation to 'and- from: the training grounds, and from one training ground to -another,..greatly in. excess. of the PAGE EIGHT average transportation cost in the reg- ular establishment. “The clothing cost would exceed an average six months’ cost for the reg- ular establishment, because the men would have to be fully equipped at the .outset, furnished with a variety of training uniforms,-and unquestionably they would be given a practically new outfit on their return home. The troops in training would have to be at least as well fed and housed and cared for as the men of the regular establishment. As a matter of fact, these items would all be higher than the average cost for the same purpose in the regular establishment.” GOVERNMENT FACES BIG DEFICIT NOW . That was only a begmmng. Mr. Mondell suggested that extraordinary medical and’ hospital facilities would have to be provided to safeguard all of these young men, fresh from their homes, against epidemics. Barracks ‘“would have to be constructed quickly and the entire annual cost of building and maintaining them would have to be charged against the six months during which they were used. The number of officers required would be greater than for regular troops, be- cause of the intense activity of the training period. Recreation facilities and instruction would add further to the fipancial problem. Viewed as a whole, he said that the proposition was one of spending $300,~ 000,000 for enlargement, improvement and extension of camps; $600,000,000 for assembling, transporting, training and equipping -the men; $60,000,000 for maintaining the camps one year; and $40,000,000 for incidental costs of training, ” equipment and material. There might be a reduction, after the first year, in the item for enlarging " and improving the camps, but this would probably. be offset by other new expenditures. Even if the system were not to be launched before the spring of \1921, the budget for the coming fiscal year would have to pro- vide for at least $600,000,000 of the sum, since work on the camps would have to be started immediately. “Let it be remembered,” said Mr. Mondell, “that the deficit for the next fiscal year is now estimated at $3,- 000,000,000. even as things stand, is a real menace. It would be dlsastrous to increase it. “We are passing through the most trying financial period of the war. We are entering upon the period that is to determine whether or _no, having piled up a national debt of $26,000,- 000,000, having an unbonded overhang of $3,000,000,000, we are to pursue a safe-policy or a policy under which, ‘a year and ‘a half after the war is ! over, we are to be engulfed in finan- cial difficulties which ‘we happily es- caped during the actual conflict. “We have ' 4,000,000 - splendidly trained young men in the country, and, thank God, there is no present danger to the republic.: Let us take plenty ‘of time to think this matter over, to tilk about it, and determine upon it. “We can not well begin to do that until . we - have corrected the errors of the professional liars who go about the country trying to make the Amer- ican people believe that you can have an enormous’ institution of ‘this kind for the sum of money that would buy : a child’s box of tin soldiers!” Two separate attempts to have com- pulsory military training ‘indorsed were-defeated at the recent convention .of women voters at Chicago. That estimated deficit, - League of Hog Raisers Send for o Booklet Gasoline 5 President Wilson , says: *“We have been a great producing nation, but a very wasteful one.
