ADVOCATES FOR
 DEFENSE OF THE
 NATION ACTIVE
Ask President to Civ e Army and Navy Some
 Relief Funds
BY HOBART c. MoNTEE Copyright 1885 by United Press)

(COpyFIght 1885 by united EreSsJ
 Washington, Jan. 24.-(UP).- Advocates of an adequate national defense today believed they were within striking distance of that ob- jective, for the first time since the national defense act was passed in 1920.
 They hoped to induce President Roosevelt to earmark approxi' mately $1,0O0,000,000 for the army and navy of the requested $4,- 88O, 100000 workk relief fund. This would bo in addition to $899,e4S,- Oe5 asked for the national de- fense in the regular budget for the 1935-36 fiscal year.
 Out of the earmarked funds the army hopes to obtain some $4O5,. 721,594 ito build up the military establishment" of the United States. and the navy hopes to get between $500, 100000 and STOOL OOO,0OO to complete construction of warships authorized under the Vim son bill.
 Army and navy advocates base their hopes for this added amount on these contentious:
 1. That expenditure of this amount in building up the army and navy would benefit innuber- able industries and thousands of working people, thus accomplish ing directly the major objective of the relief fund.
 2. That money spent under army supervision for national de- fense purposes is probably more economically expended-tha tis, 8 greater proportion of it goes in. directly fo rlabor and materials than in most other construction projects.
 8. That expenditures for na- tional defense are for purchase of materials which must be bought for the army and navy anyway. and that purchase now would be real national economy.
 4. Int these purchases would build the navy to practically treaty strength, and would pro- vide the army with equipment which would make it thoroughly modern. Army officials claim this would provide national security adequate for at least ten years.
 5. That 1t would give the Uni ted States a fighting air force sec- ond to nnone.
