Washington, June 6,--Inaugu-
ration Of senate consideration Of
the s335, 600, 900 army appropria-
ton bin today brought from sena-
tors advocating economy a hot at
tack on the committee recommen-
datlons for q minimum army Of
10000 men.
Economy advocates, led by Sem
ator Borah, republican, Idaho, and
including Senators Hitchcock, Me-
braska. and King, Utah. democrats,
criticised the personnel provision
and indicated their intention TO
wage bitter fight to reduce 1t.
Senator Borah announced he
would move to limit the army to
10000 men, because I am con-
vinced that is the lowest attaina-
BILE under the circumstances"
Senator King, however, declared
he would seek to obtain a reduc-
tion to 100000.
The amendment for a minimum
army Of 100000 as compared with
the house provision for a native
army OF lbUiUuU men Was dlSO
strongly supported during debate.
Chairman Wadsworth declared
that inability to decrease expen-
ditures was due largely to the un-
willingness Of Newton ID. Baker,
while secretary OF war, to reduce
the size Of the army.
He presented figures of recent
date to show that the expense Of
keeping American troops on the
Rhine had amounted to s27S,o0O,-
600. Of which sum the German
government had under the arm's-
tice paid $87,000,O ,O0U. Additional
items are expected soon, he said
he had been informed, but Sena-
tor Borah interrupted to say that
the fact that Germany had to pay
the bill was no justification for
keeping American troops in Ger
many.
Another question that arose was
the reduction Of the army outside
the continental United Statea
chairman Wadsworth stating that
only against his best Judgment
would he consent to a reduction
of the garrison in the Pacific.
