BAKER GIVES EXPLANATION OF BIC ARMY NEED Says Troops in Philippines Must Be Held There To
 Keep Faith. WORLD CONDITIONS
 TOO UNCERTAIN Is Opposed to Having Sepa- rate Cabinet Portfolio for
 Air Leader.

Washington, Aug. 20. - Secretary Baker defended yesterday before the Senate subcommittee on Military Af- fairs his recommendations for an army of 576,000 men by saying that in view of the disturbed conditions in the world'' he did not wish to take the responsibility of asking for a small force.
 Secretary Baker indicated several times that the bill as presented, in cluding its provision for compulsory universal military training for nine teen-year-oId youths, was that of military experts rather than his own, although it had his approval. He said that his own guess was that an army of 576, 1000 was perhaps some what larger than necessary, but that he did not wish to take the respon- sibility of opposing the opinion of the country's greatest military men.
 Regarding the provision for main tcnance of three divisions in the in sular possessions, the Secretary ad- united that the force appeared to him somewhat large and agreed to the suggestion of Senator Wadsworth, of New York, that native troops might be used to advantage. The Senator had remarked that at present it seem- ed that every American soldier kept in the Philippines was there some what in the nature of a "hostage of Taith."
 The Secretary also considered as worth while a suggestion that a part of the youth of the country might be given the opportunity for naval train ing, possibly as a substitute for the 5 in the army.
 The interrogation of the Secretary offered the opportunity for securing his opinion of the proposed esS blish- ment of an air ministry. In his reply Secretary Baker was frank in his dec laration of oninion that 1t would make for inenh iency.
 Another reason given by the Secre- tary for his opposition was that ii would tend to discourage competition in the development of aerial appli- ances. He also explained to the com mittee the difficulty an air ministry would have in handling its pilots when separately trained, indicating the necessity of having the airmer so drilled with the army men that there would be the least possible chance of failure when it came to CO., ordination.
 The testimony developed that the United States now has 1O,71S air planes, of which only 3,32S are ser vice planes. The major part of tho present equipment now is obsolete but, 1t was asserted by the Secre- tary, the types are better than any in Europe. A utilization of those types, coupled with the experience ir production that has been had, would be believed, serve to save much timt if 1t should again become necessary to bring that branch of the service to a war basis.
 The Secretary said that if the gov .ernment wished to develop the air in dustry either for commerce or wa: purposes the solution was simple merely spend the money to buy more VD1aOeS

vided by the League Cand only by the League) for such a purpose, we shall gain our ends. The great trouble with the world of the past century has been that there was no easily working machinery of international action except threats of violence and war.
 Our first duty is to provide that machinery; our next to use and i'm prove it. Clarify the Covenant if possible; state clearly what we under stand by it; adopt 1t without rese7va- tons that may weaken or amend ments that may ruin; then use t to bring about the world order we de- sire. That is the escape from the American dilemma which more and more Republicans are beginning to think best.

6. O,P, MAJORITY
 FAvORS JOINING
 NATIONS LEAGUE
Reservations Will Seriously Main If Not Kill Project
 and Must Be Abandoned.

There is one question and only one question as to the League of Nations before the Republican party today. It is not, shall the United States join the League of Nations. In spite of the provincialism of certain Western Senators who wish to "disentangle' America from Europe by Congression- al legislation, like the medieval coun- cils who solemnly declared that the world was not round but flat; and in spite of the stand-pattism of certain Eastern Senators, who would rather resign than vote for a change, the common sense of the va majority of Republicans has approved the neces- sity of joining the League of Ma tions.
 Most of the talk about danger to the Monroe Doctrine and loss of our national sovereignty begins to appear to have been talk merely, political dust stirred up by ignorance or de- sign.
 To amend the Covenant is to throw 1t back upon the world for fresh consideration, probably to kill it.. certainly to maim it permanently.
 The spirit of cooperation bred Of the war is already abating, and with out a League to keep 1t in practice. will lose its energy and it's optimism. Psychological moments when great national and international changes can be made, come rarely, and al ways far apart. 1919 brought one Of them. There will not be another in 1920. That is certain.
 And furthermore. to make reserva- tions, which say in eject that the United States will back the League of Nations when 1t pieases, and only when and where it pleases. is simply tc cut the backbone from the treaty Two things only can be asserted with positiveness now of the League. The first $. that without a League. an other great war is inevitable; and the second Is that. even thoueh the Ieague is necessary. il is not worth going into except with energy, faith. and a whole heart
 This is the American dilemma. And indeed. much of the diStrust with which the league is viewed, Is pape- dtstrust. Actually. we will be the most powerful member. Actually, if we express by Congressional rcso- lution our determination to preserve inc Monroe Doctrine. to do justice to China. to prevent the oppression of oppressed or rebellious minorities, through the law of the League. through ths Dsaaaful machinery pro-
