HAWAII AND CANAL
|DEFENSES ASSA|LED
Inadequacy Peril to Nation,
General Staff Officer Tells
Senate Committee.

Completion of the defense program
in Hawaii and the Panama Canal Zone
| as an integral feature of the defense of

| tee yesterday by Col. b. H. Wells. head
/, Of the war plans division OF the general
staff He criticized the pending Army
bill in it's present form as inadequate
and tending to wreck the progress al
| ready made in providing for national
| defense
Explaining that the defense OF the
| Hawaiian group had been centered on
| the Island of Oahu, which contains Pearl
| Harbor and honolulu Harbor, Col.
! Wells said these waters were seen as
! bases from which the feet may protect
| the west coast of the United States.
| Alaska and the Panama canal"
More Funds Required.
| oahu is the most important island
| strategically of the entire Pacific ocean,"
J the witness said. Reserve supplies. re-
serve ammunition, etc, to be maintainc
| there are based upon computed require
| ments for a self-sustained defense for
| a period of four months.
| In order properly to prepare the is
| land for this defense, the authorize
ton of construction requested in
these estimates should unquestiona-
bly, be made, as the amount is small
compared with the Importance in con-
nection with the whole plan of de-
fense.
Referring to the Panama canal,
Col. Wells declared that it's value,
both commercially and from the
standpoint of national defense. was
such that its loss, in the opinion of
| military experts. would be "a greater
blow than the loss os any other of
our possessions"
Up to the present. Col. Wells ex-
planned, all defense measures in the
Zone~have been entirely confined to
the protection of the canal entrances.
but he declared that this alone was
insufficient. The harbor defenses, he
said, constitute but one element of
the defense and must be supple
mented by adequate mobile forces of
all arms, including aircraft
Weakness Of Panama.
The department also, he said. has
been alive to the weakness of the
fixed defenses of Panama and has an
nounced the purpose of installing a
number of sixteen-inch .50-caliber
guns at either entrance" These guns,
the witness added, are superior to
any possessed by any power" having
an approximate range of $4,000 yards
Putting the requisite peace strength
of the canal garrison at 10000 men.
Col. Wells said. in time of war this
would be raised by increasing the
units to war strength and by addi-
tional units from personnel available
locally"
With respect to the Philippines, the
witness said the department had es-
timated that an adequate defense
would involve maintaining on the
Island of Luzon a garrison of 100, 600
men, generally provided with aircraft
and supplemented by a considerable
force of submarines" Under the four
power naval treaty, however. addi-
tional defenses are prohibited, he
pointed out, and there is no item in
the departments budget for 1923 for
new defenses in the Philippines.
