Plans Army of 1900.
President Quezon hopes to create
his standing army of 10000. finance
his universal military training pro-
gram and his munitions factories and
supplies at cost of about 100000
pesos-$8, 900, ,000-a year. The esti-
mated income Of the Philippine ma
tional government for the current
fiscal year is 56,000,000 pesos and the
expenditures 54,000,000 pesos, consid-
erably less than the budget for the
District of Columbia While it is un-
derstood that President Quezon plans
to use for national defense part of a
fund of about $15,O00000 due the
Philippines from collection by the
United States of its excise tax on CO.
conut oil, and while the Philippine
commonwealth begins its life with a
comfortable surplus of cash, the mill
tary program is merely a part of the
Presidents program for other i'm

and road building and other such
needed and socially desirable under
takings are pitifully small now in
comparison with the needs.
But President Quezon answers OBJ
jections based on the cost of the ma
tional defense program by stating
that the FilipinoS can't defend them
selves without the men. eff the
people won't stand the cost they don't
deserve independence. We can't de-

There is already good nucleus for

American officers. The authorized

Be EXPENDED in
RELIEF PROGRAM
That Is the Sum Govern
fnent Will Spend in
State of Connecticut

Hartford, Conn.,, July 3.-(UP)
The federal government plans to
spend approximately $42,74s,2oo in
Connecticut under its $4,s80, 000,-
900 work relief program.
This total represents $1,143 for
each unemployed person in the
state, on the basis of the number
of persons who received aid DUR
ing the month of May, and leav-
ing an appreciable margin for I'M
employables.
In May there were $4,000 per-
sons on relief, or about 46,76O
families, the lowest number since
last December when 1S9,457 indi-
viduals received various forms of
aid. The peak was reached in
january when there were 205,052,-
or 5S,9S4 families on the rolls.
Total Expenditures
Expenditures for the first four
months of this year amounted to
$S,6S3,260. From January /, 1888
to December 81, 1884, the outlay
was $36,014,105s with leading ur.
ban-industrial towns expending
about two and one-half' times as
much as, small rural sections.
Should the same percentage Of
distribution prevail under the
$4,SS0, 100000 program, the ap-
portionment should be on the fol-
lowing basis:
