Least $4,000 Mini

Macarthur Leads House Fight to Keep
Strength up to Reasonable
Mark

Washington, March 30.-Big-navy
men started move in the House yes
tcrday to prevent the proposed reduc"
ton in the navy's en0stcd personnel
for next year to 65,OOO.
Announcement was made by Repre-
sentative Macarthur, of Oregon, Re
publican member of the Naval Affairs
Committee, that when the bill comes
up from the Appropriations Commit
tee he would offer an amendment to
place the minimum strength at 8G,OOO.
At the same time it was stated that
Representative Rogers, of MaSsachu-
sets, ranking Republican on the For
eign Affairs Committee, would pro.
pose 10000 as the minimum.
The bill making provision Tor only
$4,000 men will be reported to the
House next week by Chairman kel-
ley, of the subcommittee on approprl-
ations, now drafting it. In taking
final action the House will vote first
on the Rogers amendment. In event
Of its defeat, which is generally con-
coded by House leaders, the test will
come on the Macarthur amendment.
Should that fail, the committee recon-
mendaticn will stand up for vote.
"The House Committee on Naval
Affairs" said Mr.. Macarthur, has re-
ported Legislation authorizing an en-
listed strength of $4,000 men and
5000 apprentice seamen, and although
| am not speaking officially for the
committee, feel that a large majority
or its members are opposed to re-
ducing our enlisted personnel to 90,
00G when it is we'll understood that
Japan will have $4,000 and Great
Britain 104,0 900 during the coming
fiscal year.
The recent Armament Limitation
Conference agreed to 5-5-3 basis of
naval armament, but if the propon-
rnts of the Forthcoming bill have their
way the personnel ratio will be APP
proximately 5-3-3. | do not believe
the American people want their navy
to drop to q third place in personnel,
or in any other respect. What they
want is a navy that will, in so far as
possible, conform to the spirit of the
recent conference. The present en-
listed strength Of our navy is approx
imatcly $4,000 men. 1t can not stand
much more Of reduction without Sc
riously affecting its morale and eff.

astfous," General Pershing declared
adding that such reductions would IN
troduce an unwarranted element OF
danger in our plan of national de-
fense."
General Hartford asserted that the
country 'traveled in vicious circle
of unpreparedness and postwar eco
nomy. Both officers asserted that loo,-
0OO men and 10000 officers were alb
solutely essential to the nations
needs at this time.
"A careful consideration OF the
work in hand, if the initial well-lald
scheme is not to be seriously curtall-
ed and many essential activities aban-
doned," General Pershing said, Leads
inevitably to the conclusion that any
further reduction would be disastrous.
Regarding the proposal to reduce
the overseas garrison, he said that the
reduction cannot be made without
violating the soundest principles OF
security"

commended for Hawaii and the Pana-
