WAsHiNGToN, Jan. 22.-Brig. Cen. NJ
NJ Macomb. head Of the War College. in
tcstifying before tho Senate Committee
on Military Affairs to-day told OF the
foreign policies of this Government
which are most likely to involve the
United States In war. Gen. Macomb's
testimony was listened to with great in
terest because he is the head OF corps
OF experts whose business it is to study
the problems likely to confront this Gov
ernment in event OF war.
Several of our foreign policies which
seem simple enough to us may be cause
for trouble" said Gen. Macomb. Take.
for instance. the old policy OF no en-
tangling alliances. That means we will
have no allies and therefore must be pre-
pared to stand alone Others are the
Monroe Doctrine, which is becoming now
n sort OF composite akair but which may
not be satisfactory to every one; the open
door in China and the Asiatic exclusion.
ANY of these policies may conflict
with some world Power. Behind our
policy we must have some force. Even
"a diplomatic policy cannot be carried out
successfully unless the diplomats know
that they have force behind them. Other
wise these policies will have little his
toric value and they will play no great
part in the world.
Army and Navy strength.
"Our navy. 1t seems to me. must be
large enough to defend not only our
coasts and harbors but to 20 out on the
high seas, seek the enemy and destroy
him To some this would suggest that
such navy would permit us to dispense
with an adequate army. as the navy
would be expected TO destroy every ap-
preaching enemy. The reverse IL true.
Without an adequate army at home
the navy would never be allowed to 20
out upon the seas. Il is the adequate
army that will give the navy free
hand. II is on this basis that we have
figured out the needs of the army.
I'VE estimate that we Will need a
mobile force OF about 500 900 men. reg
ulars and their reserves. with additional
civilian reserves OF some training. We
need enough regulars to garrison the
oversee possessions and defend the con-
tinental coast We would need $4,000
men abroad and 10000 regulars IA,
home.
These Of course must he supported by
the reserves which would be developed
in the course Of about eight years.
"The War College has taken up the
question OF how to encourage enlist
ments for these larger forces. II has
been suggested that every man capa bl,
OF bearing arms should be indeNed. anC
when enlistments fall below the needed
number conscription could follow.
