Our Reuglar. Army consists today Of
$4,000 persons. That is one-third
smaller than it was in 1920 and 1921,
although by that time the wartime
Army had been demobiliZed. In other
words, during the decade Of peace we
have gone on reducing the size of the
Army, andsI think We have gone every
bit as far as it is safe to go.
Let us compare it with some others.
The British, with about one-third our
population, have an army Of $4,000, to
say nothing of the forces Of the various
dominions. The French, with popula-
ton about one-third the size of ours,
have q standing army OF $4,000. DO soy

Merger to Cut Taxpayers

The Government could save

ing such a merger soon.

The Employees Compensation

or when the President will issue
a merger is still unknown.
In addition to this large definite
