Increase in Strength
Of Guard Is Urged

National Guard officials in various
parts of the country are urging
that a further increase be effected
in the allocated strength of the
militia. with a view to reaching
the ultimate goal of 435 900 equipped
men as provided in the National
Defense Act of 1920. 1t is probable
that efforts will be made at the
approaching Congress to have the
legislature provide for another in
crease of $4,000 men, which would
provide for the organization of a
number of additional units as pro-
yided for in the tables of organiZa-
ton. The plan is being proposed
because of the conditions in Europe,
officers pointing out that the country
has everything to lose and nothing
to gain by war.
1t was asserted that progressive
increases in the Guard should be
initiated so as to gradually correct
the present inequalities in the per
capita strengths of the militia in
the several States. In providing
for the increases, it was urged that
they be effected in such a manner
as not to reduce the strength. either
in units or numbers, of any National
Guard organizations now existent
in any State, Territory or the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The Guard officials also will seek
large appropriation for the mod
ernization of the equipment which
is loaned to the militia for training
purposes. 1t was pointed out that
when changes or modernization in
armament or any vitally essential ar
ticles of equipment occur, and their
issue is over an extended period of
time, it adversely affects the morale,
esprit, training and proper develop
ment of those units which do not re-
ceive or cannot expect an early issue
of this improved armament and
equipment.
The militiamen propose the adop-
ton of greatly accelerated pro-
gram Of rearmament with a view to
fully rearming and equipping at the
earliest possible moment that portion
of the land forces included in the
initial protective force as defined
in the War Departments mobiliza-
ton plans. In the distribution, the
Guardsmen have made a recon-
that the issue be made
complete to the initial protective
force, holding that is preferable
to the establishment of priorities
Of units to receive the new equip
ment.
