When Congress made sppropria-

1t did not pretend that it had re-
voked its previous decision as to
the size OF the army. II merely
prepared the way for a large def
cit, unless the Secretary Of War
disregarded the instructions re-
ceived from Congress.
1t is downright hypocrisy for
representative and Senators to
raise a clamor because the strength
of the army has risen above l75. 600
men, and to charge the Secretary
of War with exceeding his rightfuI

Plans for reOrganizing the army
on a regional division basis and
for developing the auxiliary SER
vices will be interfered with by
this additional restriction. An
army OF $4,000 now and Of zoe. 900
when government finances improve
is about the minimum desirable for
p"aC" purposes. Yet il will take
many months to get the army down
to 10000, and a limitation passed d
to hobblo the present Secretary OF
War can easily be withdrawn un-
der the new administration. Mr.
Baker has outraged common sense
and worn out public patience: and.
worst Of all, the interests OF the
army itself have been unpleasantly
prejudiccd by his rabid and un-
timely insistence on expansion and
excessive expenditure.

Boston Transcript. =


There are many reasons why
$4,000 is, for the time being. an
irr"ducible minimum. The garri-
sons in the Philippines. in Hawaii.
and in the Panama Canal Zone alb
sorb many thousands Of men.
We must keep these garrisons
recruited up to their author
lied strength at all times. and
must see to it that their person
mel is kept at a high state Of
efficiency. In continental United
states we must provide for the
skeleton for a large army. capable
Of rapid expansion in the hour OF
national emergency. We must
maintain. in addition. a vigiIsnt
patrol along many hundreds Of
miles of the Mexican border. A
modern army, furthermore. needs
a tank service, a chemical warfare
service, and an enormously expand
ed aviation service. These new ser
vices add considerably to the num-
Der of enlisted men required. An
army of $4,000, therefore, is bare
ly sufficient to meet the minimum
defensive needs of the nation.
