 "In spite of this gratifying prog ress, we are behind our program in several respects, due to the financial situation which has reduced our sup port of some activities. We have not made the experimental progress in motorization of artillery trans port that is to. be hoped for, nor in the development of improved tanks. Above all we are short in the development of air power. We have scarcely the present store of effec- tive planes that we would need in an emergency nor the complete fa- cilities for training the personnel that we shall need in war. The na- tional regulation of air activities and the provision of system of air. ways are matters which are essential to the development of air power.
 Some steps in the direction of at least providing an effective plan for our development of air power should be taken at once, and as our H. nances are improved, the actual building of the emergency stores.
 Finally, we should not slack in the training of our citizens in the simplest technique of war, the hand ling of Americas weapon-the rifle nor in the furthest development of this important weapon"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The pres ent authorized regular Army strength of 12,000 officers and 125,O0O men is inadequate" for national safety, and further cuts would be "inex- cusable," Secretary Weeks declared in his annual report to Congress. we should seize the first oppor- tunity to bring the regular Army back to the proportions which are required" he wrote. we can not ever again make the mistake of ex- pecting good soldiers to rise over- night and good officers to be turned i out in quantities in three months peiods.
 "We are making progress, and any progress is good progress. This progress is, however, scant, and not really enough. Any further cuts would force us to lose what we have gained, and would accordingly be in- excusable.
 Tt has taken time and money to build what we have. It has taken blood and money to prove that we have not, even now, what we need. We should when practicable add to what we have and attain to the progress called for in our defense project under the terms of the law"
 Declaring the officer corps "is really the backbone of our military system,'' Mr. Weeks said that se- curity for the future must rest "upon the foundation of our leadership"
 T do not belittle the enlisted man ours is the best in the world" he continued. "It is because I appreci- ate him that I emphasize the need for officers to give the soldier his best opportunity to fight for his country and for his life.
 "We must have officers sufficient to handle the great Army of the United States. We have not these officers now.
 Our reserve officers are the first to complain that their present lack of training is causing them to lose the knowledge that they gained in the war. Where is there any train ing to come from? Only through the regular officers.
 "In my last annual report I stated that, with 18,000 officers authorized, we would not have enough to do all

the bare framework" of the machin- cry of defense created by the Ma tional Defense Act.
 '4The present tendency towards cutting that framework makes it necessary" he said, flor me to warn that any additional cuts would en- danger our safety. since the frame. work is already cut to the point of uncertainty. Our people can not afford future cuts which must be paid for by the blood of American citizens"
 | Enforced reductions of the past year, the War Secretary said, had resulted in measurable delay" in up building the national guard element of the three-in-one army plan.
 "The numbers of the guard have been held down by the failure of Federal funds and equipments and the training of units has been some what handicapped by the shortage of regular officers who were available and suitable as instructors" he said. eager to do their share in develop ment. The citizens have accepted idea and supported the units Loyalty. The applicants for enlistment have been in excess of the needs. Moth ling but finances stand between us and complete realization of the ob- jects of the (National Defense) Act. The actual amounts required are not great"
 MT. Weeks said that in the cam paign "to raise the general stand ard of our military leadership" he considered it desirable to, extend the present practice of limited degree of selection in promotions "so that those officers who reached the grade of lieutenant colonel and of major with past records of superior achieve ment, can be pushed ahead at an accelerated rate for valuable ser vice in the next higher grade"
 Present ratings" he continued. would justify the filling of one out of approximately every 12 vacan- cies in the grade of colonel by the promotion of those who merit accel- erated advancement. There would be thus an incentive to endeavor throughout the service"
 The Secretary also recommended early legislation to provide definite 1 ly for filling vacancies to the grade of colonel and lieutenant colonel partly from the accelerated list and partly from the seniority list"
 AS to the technical preparations of the Army since the war, he said:
 "In nearly all directions we have

tha. might profitably be done. Now I must state that we have absolute ly not enough to do what is neces- sary to our safety as an organized state.
 "I appreciate the urgency of our financial situation that prevents us from reaching our maximum require ments. I can not believe, however, that the importance of this need is fully recognized by all who do recog- nize the urgency of the financial problems.
 q earnestly advocate reconstitut- ing of our officer body to mini mum of 13,O0O at the earliest date" | MT. Weeks said he was confronted like most of his predecessors, with the necessity of appearing before a peace loving people to urge bluntly and earnestly the continued attention to their needs for defensive preparedness"
 My conclusions are not entirely welcome at this time, when people have been hoping that nations had learned to avoid conflicts of force,' v he continued. My conclusions are, nevertheless, that we should con tinue to prepare for such conflicts.
 eff it is unwelcome, it is no less true that Americans, like all other peoples, are subject to the law which punishes those nations who fail to prepare for defense, as well as those who fail to strive for peace.
 "We are right to feel confident in our strength. But we shall never de- serve and fulfill our destiny except through the study of our past faults and the painful eradication of de- fects. A true American must be not only proud of our unvarying sue cesses, but also humbly aware that many of these successes were barely won, and that in all of our conflicts success came only after the sacrifice of many brave souls to our indul gence of the tendence to be un- ready"
 | Reverting to the present status of the military establishment, Mir. Weeks said that under the stress of economy" every element of the Army's preparedness program "in any sense non-essentiaI' had been eliminated and there remained "only
