MILITIA INCREASE
OF 10000 IS URGED
Guard 0hicial Recommends Peace.
Time Strength at
21O,5OO,

Aggressive action on the part Of the
National Guard oficials in seeking an.
other increase in strength Of 10000
men Is urged by Brig. Gen. Thomas
Z. Rilea Of the National Guard Of
Oregon. He also recommended the
peace-time strength Of the National
Guard as . whole be stabilized at
3lo.50o. He said he considered this
demand . very modest one, in view Of
the fact that the national defense act
Of 1920 contemplated . peace strength
Of approximately 4eS, 900.
II wAs pointed out that this figure
was decided upon at time when opti-
mism for eternal peace ran high It
occurred, he said. Immediately follow
ing the World War, when the world
was sick Of conflict and many thought
that . recurrence Of the red orgy
Of nations was impossible. In the light
Of world conditions today, he added.
he did not believe that. even the most
sanguine entertain very serious hope
for that Utopia Of eternal peace at
the present time.
Gen. Rilea said he regarded the
generosity Of Congress in the matter
Of appropriations last session as q
growing consciousness on the part Of
that body for the necessity Of an ade.
auate national defence and considers
that now Il the opportune time to
build up our strength to what may be
considered . minimum for peace-time
training requirements. There are some
who believe that the present strength
increases should be absorbed before
another Is sought, but others believe
that the authorizations should be OBJ
tanned now and that means will be
found for equipping them.
The strength Of the Guard was IN
creased Last year by 5000 men. and
another increase authorized which will
be apportioned after the beginning Of
the fiscal year. This will give the
militia . total increase Of 10000 men
throughout the country. Several units
have been obtained In the local Guard
out of the f1rst increment, and there
Il hope that more will be provided
here. t:'t.
The 260th Coast Artillery here Is
already 10 expand to . full regiment,
and 4 u probable that Lieut.. Col.
Walter w. Burns, regimental COM
mander, will make Q strong bid for the
assignment of additional troops. The
completion Of this organization would
give two fun regiments Of militia
troops here.
