service which symbolizes our coun-
try and cur flag" He urged also
an increase of the commissioned
strength Of the regular army to -
900 as compared to 10000, the
present limit.
The report was devoted largely
to what Mr.. Weeks called "a brief
economic analysis of our national
defense" His conclusions were:
Military preparations cost US,
roughly, one eighteenth of what we
spend tor Injuries, amusements and
mild vices
No one can reasonably contend
that we spend more than extremely
small proportionate amoUnt for ma
tional defense. We could afford to
spend many times what we do.
Our de1ense measures have not
kept pace with our increased pros
perity and responsibility as ma
ton.
With less islotaion than ever be-
fore, with a greater need to be able
to defend our own independent pur-
poses, we are in a state of unpre-
paredness, comparably only to that
Of Germany, among the great ma
tons, Our new defense policy is
a sound one, and if sincerely sup
ported would enable us to defend
cur purposes while adhering to our
peaceful traditions.
Secretary Weeks analysed statis-
tics of the current fiscal year, and
! declared war and navy department
costs were roughly fourteen per
cont of total federal budget of
S4, O0O,O00,000, and he added that
only six per cent Of he budget went
toward purely military activities. .
Against the governmental costs. in
Guiding state and city budgets. he
presented figures to show that "onlv
two and one-half per cent of the
total is consumed by the war de-
partment and its activities."'

The money order, the postal saw
ings, and the parcel post systems,
Mr.. New said, should be entirely
self-sustaining. The relation OF
cost to revenue for the several func
tions was studied in 19O7-1911 and
the department is making another
cost entertainment at the instance
of the post office committees and
the joint postal commission, which
has been authorized by Congress.
When results are known, Mr..
New declared, they will furnish a
basis for an intelligent judgment
as to postage rates and charges.
The postmaster general made a
number of recommendations for
legislation along those lines includ-
ing authority tor him to. Fix d
charge for a return receipt for a
registered article; fix the fees
chargeable for registration OF mail
matter and the limit of indemnity,
extend the insurance and collect on
delivery services to third-class mail !;
and prescribe the fees to be collect
ed for the issue of domestic money
orders.
NJ" New also recommended that
legislation be enacted to provide
for the appointment of postmast ers
of the third-class by the postmaster
general; pay rent on postof-
flee premises monthly instead of
quarterly; compensate employees
Tor overtime services in excess of
eight hours daily; establish motor
