.Pershing Warns
of Danger in
Ar1nyReduction
Absolute Minimum Already
Reached, He Declares in
Plea for Thrccfold
Plan of Fighting Force

General Pershing, writing of "Our
Plans for the National Defense" in the
current "Amcrican Legion Weekly"
maintains that the absolute minimum in
the standing army below which it is
highly dangerous to reduce already has
been reached.
Reviewing regrcttablc experiences at
tributed to unpreparedness Of the
United States in past wars, the general
writes that "as to the World War,
firmly believe that substantial condi.
tion of preparedness of our land ano
naval forces, backed by an adequate
merchant marine. would have kept us
out Of the war and would have placed
US in position to have brought it tc
an early termination'
Moreover" he continues. "it is not
too much to say that under those condi-
tons and with strong leadership, VIC
might have prevented the World Wan
altoge ether"
In his article General Pershing Wis
ualzes the tripartitc army which "wo
arc struggling 20 create under tho re
ot,ani2ation act Of June. 1920, weld
irg Of regulars, trained national
suardsmcn and largo citizen reserve
into homogeneous whole. lie pleads
With his comrades Of the American l.c-
glon to support the modest estimates
Of the Administration Of men and
money needed to perfect our well-con-
sidered plans for basic organization
and for preliminary training, that We
may avoid another humilating cxpc-
rence before the World
"While NC boast of having been vic
torious in our early foreign wars. i.
was due more directly TO the weakness
Of h.hc ei,emy and his engagements
elsewhere than to the exercise Of wise
forethcugllt il preparation or 10 su-
parior stratcgical or tactical ability on
the part Of our own forces or their
leaders.
''In the Civil War. even small we'll
trained force would probably have
ended the war before tho entire coun-
Try became involved. and would have
saved the loss of thousands of lives
and untold treasure on both sides"
At this point General Pcrishin- OK
presses the belief that American pre-
paredness and strong leadership mi~ht
nave prevented the World War.
"N>ver until our last experience
have We sought remedy for tho avoid
snce of past errors he continues,
but after each war we have gone
serencly back to tho policy Of saving
q few dollars that should be spent for
moderate preparation in order to meet
tho billions spent because Of lack of
preparation"
AS this is written, Congress is en-
gagged in the considera ton of drastic
reductions in our professional person
mel, and IN the sums estimated as nee
essary for the training and cquipm ment
of the citizen forces n othinking man
can be justified in demanding a large
professional army, but there is an alb
solute minimum below which it is
highly dangerous to reduce and that
we have already reached. The obliga-
ton OF tho professional soldier TO de-
fcnd our colonial possessions. particu-
fariy the important outposts OF Hawai ii
and the Panama Canal, and to carry
out duties explicitly set forth in the
law tor the organization and training
of the citizen forces, remains I'm
changed"
