CALLED PEACE
CONSUMPTION
War Departments Universal Military
Training Plan Would Cost
Billion Dollars Each
Year.
lBy Ramona Clapper, United Press
Staff Correspondent.

by Ramona Clapper, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The war
departments plan for universal mill
tary training is peace CONSUMPTION,
Senator Hiram Johnson, California,
declared today in commenting on the
proposal as outlined by Chief of Staff
March to the senate military affairs
subcommittee.
Johnson said the program would
cost one billion dollars when in op-
Grafton, each year.
Peace CONSUMPTION at cost Of
one billion dollars year is the price
we are to pay for the league of ma
tions," Johnson said
Does universal peace bring with
1t universal military training? 1 can
not see why, when we are facing an
era OF universal peace, we should
have an army many times larger than
we ever had before"
March, who was called before the
committee again today. said the gen.
eral staff plan could be abandoned,
IF We want to go back to the system
of defenselessness we had at the be-
ginning of the war"
He explained that the actual au.
thorized strength Of the peace army
under the war department plan would
be $4,000 men, besides 100000 to
100000 youths available under the
military training provision.
Senator Thomas, Colorado, said to-
day that if the war department esti-
mates for clothing and feeding sol
diers were to hold good, the cost of
living would have to be considerably
reduced.
Senators New and Chamberlain be-
lieve that preparedness is essential
and that in addition to the physical
benefits Of three months rigid war
schooling for every youth the nation
will benefit in an economic way.
Senator Sutherland. West Virginia,
suggested a one-year enlistment in
the army as q means of training
reserve force.
March today also urged the commit
tee to reject suggestion for a perma-
nent general staff which. he predicted
will be made with great force and
The proposal, he said, would mean
a chief of staff once named would
serve until he died or retired and all
other general staff officers would DO
likewise.
1T is imperative" said March, that
the general staff officers go back to
the field service every four years and
get in touch with the. men Of the army.
II would be very bad to build up an
army bureaucracy"
March explained to the committee
that under the proposed war depart
nent reorganization bill the air serv-
ice will be organized on the basis of
one man to twenty-five out Of the
whole army, proportion which he
said existed in all the allied armies
at the end of the war.
