WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Failure of
the aviation section to deliver Liberty
motors on schedule time caused the
American tank programme to fall
down. Brigadier General s. D. Rocken-
back, chief of the Tank Corps, to-day
declared before The House sub commit
tee on ordnance Investigating cxpendi-
lures in the War Department.
Captain Dwight Partridge. Of the
Ordnance Corps, declared tina. at tie
present time the United States has 100
new, fully equipped tanks with the
American forces on the Mexican Bor-
der, and that the total tank pro
gramme. almost completed, calls for
1850 tanks. including fifty with wire
less and 100 heavy tanks.
In January. 1913" said General
Rockenback. ia treaty was signed
whereby England and the United
StsJe we're to divide the production of
1900 tanks. The 4. E F. was to build
an assembling plant near Tours and
was 70 receive the irst 800 tanks com
pleted. the remainder going to the
British and the French.
MS az -ecl!lti.L NfGS DdNSQ upon LNe
assurance CT the aviation section OF the
United States Signal Corps that they
could produce and deliver l 200 Liberty
motors by June !, 1918. II My. 1873,
General RockenoacA was advised ina.
the aviation section could not deivel
more than IS per cent of the 1000
motors by the time specified. and in
July he learned that the aviation sec
tion had fallen down completely and
could deliver none.
THE British were not up 10 seized
ule, but if the motors had been forth
coming some Of the tanks could have
been put into action by September
1918 The Ordnance Bureau then un.
dertook to build it's own engines. aac
the first tank equipped with an Amer
lean built engine arrived in France or
November 20, 1918, nine days after the
signing of the armstice."
According to General Rockenbacl
many lives could have been saved at St
Mihiel and the Argonne if there had
been a sufficient number of tanks with
the American forces. There should
have been 500 in the Argonne, he said
but the Americans had only 1913 and
the French seventeen. General Rock
enback declared that the Tank Corps
now should have $4,000 men, but that
it has only 277.
