PERsHING BEFORE COMMITTEE
ON ARMY APPROPRIATIONS

Washington, Feb. ga new eco
nomic principle" TO govern peace time
maintenance of all branches of the ar
my, regulars, national guard or organ
lied reserves. was laid today by Cen
eral Pershing before the house sub
committee on army appropriations.
After pointing out that the regular
army was relatively small at present
and limited in numbers first by the ex-
listing army organization act and later
by appropriations acts, General Persh-
ing said that the following economic
principle might be stated as to the mill
tary organization that the. country
should maintain:
In organizing the peace establish
nient, no unit should be maintained in a
more expensive category if it can be
safely and advantageously maintained
IN less expensive category, and mo-
bilized therefrom in time to meet the re-
quirements of an emergency
The officer said that the cost of each
group OF the new army was different,
the regulars being more costly than the
national guard, which in turn cost cost
more than the organized reserves.
Application of this principle Genera
Pershing said, would clay the founda.
tion for a military organization at min
imum cost
A second conclusion stated by the
commander of the army was as follow
THE primary mission of the regular
personnel within the United States is te
develop the national guard and the or
ganized reserves and to establish a ma
tional training system"
In this connection he said that whilt
"the main obstacle" to application OF
this principle was that military train
ing in the United States is entirely
voluntary" increasing interest was be-
ing manifested in the national guar(
-ad the reserve as well as in the mill
| tary training camps.
Still another principle General Perish
| ing laid down was as follows:
TN training the citizen army w
should employ as many reserve officer
! and non-commissioned officers as posi-
! BILE as student instructors and staff per
| sonnel in our training camps and othe
training establishments"
! AS to the future functions Of the reg
| ular army General Pershing laid dow,
this principle:
| That portion of the regular army no
required for general overhead purpose
shall be formed into two separate force
one composed of training organiza
tons. distributed In the several corp
areas and the other an expeditionar
| force composed Of regular army units d
effective strength ready for immediat
Service and stationed according to cor
venience for service"

that United States District Attorney

go before the grand jury but without
success. 1 have tried to persuade the
district attorney to place before the
