Since the enactment of the f1ve-year
naval aircraft building program on June
"a, 1925, considerable progress has been
ashore and af1oat, with aircraft of all
types. For the year 1925, the year i'm
mediately preceding the first program
year, funds were provided for the pur-
chase Of 302 new airplaneS for the
Navy. Thus on July /, 1925, the Navy
was confronted with the proposition of
building up the 351 planes on hand on
that date to 1000 planes by July /,
1882, an undertaking requiring financial
provision, over flve-year appropriating
period, for an average annual increase
of approximately 130 planes. During
1927, the first program year, the num-
ber Of Navy planes was increased from
35l to 468. Two hundred and ffty-Six
planes were delivered, 139 being applied
to replace waStage and lit representing
the advance toward the program goal.
An excellent increase in the number
of planes on hand was noted during
the 1928 fiscal year and it Is expected
that during 1929, the third program
year, the Navy will have approximately
$50 planes on hand.
During 1880, the fourth program

activities required by the military estab-
lishment outside Of the Medical, Dental
and Veterinary Corps. The Army, it is
understood, is opposed to the estab-
hShment OF q separate pharmaceutical
corps.
A survey of the situation reveals the
fact that there are about 10 other
Specialties not properly falling under
the heading of Medical, Dental and
Veterinary Corps that are needed by
the medical department. These in
clude sanitary engineers, psychologists,
opticians, food and nutrition experts
instrument manufacturers, etc. II
would be inadvisable to create sepa-
rate corps for each speciality, and the
War Department view, 1t is understood,
Is that the pharmacists needed by the
medical department should be commits
Under Gen. IreIand's proposal the
medical auxiliary corps would absorb
the present Medical Administrative
Corps and all the. specialties required
to carry on the activities of the medi-
cal department outside of the medical,
dental and veterinary services. These
three services would remain as they
are. Under the surgeon generals plan,
pharmacists commissioned in the medi-
cal auxiliary corps would be required
to perform duties in addition to their
pharmaceutical ones and they would be
given the necessary training to ut them
for such additional details.
After seven years experience with the
class B system, the Army method of
eliminating inefficient officers from the
active rolls of the military establish
ment, it appears that the Army does
not have complete confidence In this
method of elimination procedure. There
is q wide difference of opinion among
officers as to what constitutes personal
and professional attributes that justify
retention in service, with the expulsion
OF those who do not measure up to
the adopted standard. The operation
of the class B law, it is said, has low
cred the morale of the Army by cree
ating the impression in the service that
an officer can be tried" under the i'm
perfectly devised class B system instead
OF under the well recognized and ac-
cepted courtS-martial procedure.
To correct these alleged injustices it
has been proposed that there be adopt
ed a single standard which shall con-
troll retention of offlcerS-that of pro-
feSSional fitness which shall be deter
mined by personal record, with oppor-
tunity given each officer to discharge
duties for which he is specially quali-
fed, by special instruction at schools
and by examination for promotion. It
Is insisted that it will be possible to
maintain efficiency and discipline with
out the lowering of the former and the
disruption of the latter by system of
testing and determining an officers
qualifications. Those favoring a new
elimination system concede that there
viii be doubts and disputes of the
efficacy of any method that may be
proposed for general adoption, but cer-
tainly nothing has yet been devised or
drafted that approaches an assurance
or fairness and integrity which is above
reproach.
