Aviation Development Assured.

It is evident from the attitude of
members of Congress and influential
members of the House committee on
naval affairs. that strong pressure
will be exerted to retain in the ap-
preparation bill the amount estimated
as required for naval aviation-$S5.-
100000. It is recognized that avia-
tion development in the Navy must
keep abreast or ahead Of develop
ments Of other countries. and that
this policy under the restrictive $20,-

would be most difhcnlt, II not impos-

Army Size Controversy.

1t is taken for granted by a num-
Der of persons, both in and out of
the Army, that the congressional mill
itary committees desire to perma-
nently reduce the size Of the Army to
175,O00 men. and that this desire on
their part is "a sad reflection on their
wisdom" and. further. that "as a ma
tion We are forgetting the lessons Of
preparedness" etc, etc. AS a matter
Of fact. no definite action toward
Army reduction has yet taken place
The attitude. however, Of the military
committees on the question Of recruit
ing the Army beyond the present
available appropriation for it's main
tenance 10 well defined. These COM
mittees insist that the Army be kept
within the size for which the COM
mittee on appropriations may deem
advisable. Even in the face OF pro
posed legislation toward national
economy, no indication has been
given that Congress will change that
part OF the Army reorganization bill
which provides for an Army of 2S0.-
600 men. Unfortunately. the recent
attitude taken by some officials in as
sumtng that the Army could be re-
crutted to its maximum strength
without requesting the committee to
provide sufficient appropriation nat
urally forced the military committees
to take cognisance Of the situation.

lined by Secretary Hughes at the Wash

the smallest possible Navy for that pur-
pose and it is entirely consistent that II
