If the house com- mittee figures stand, he added, it will mean that the forces at the army posts will be reduced to a point where they will consist merely of guards for the properties. “Reduction In the personnel” the sec- retary asserted, “is esvecially unwise unless the overhead expense of the army is cut at least the same ratio. It now costs about $2,000 per man per year as against about $1,000 as before the war. I do not know what the present bill contains in detall, but so far as I am informed. it does nothing in reducing overhead expenses such as maintenance and repair requirements at many posts Which may well be abandoned.” Mr. Weeks sald constant requests came to Washington for renewal of im- provement and bulldings at the army posts hut no expenditure of $500 or mora is allowed, unless personally approved by him. “If conress wishes to reduce army expenditures,” the secretary continued, “it should abolish everything that is not necessary for the miHtary defense of the country.” Reduction of the army to 115,000 men will neces: ¢ abandonment of many posts, he sai “We will have to take troops out of them,” he sald. “It requires about 43.- 000 men on the horder possesslons, which wou garrison the remaining : 70,000 includes aviation, quartermaster corps, medical corps, etc., so that the rema‘nder is only about 50,000 combat troops.
