One of the worlds highest authorities says
that never before in peacetime history has
our defense been as strong as it is today
by Louis Johnson
Assistont Secretary ofWor
Assisfont Secretary Of War

Suddenly we were aroused from our leth-
argy. A wave of the barbaric formula, might
makes right" was sweeping across the world.
Something more than mere wish for peace,
we saw, was necessary to guarantee tran
quillity. The lessons of unpreparedness from
Europe, Asia and Africa were brought home
to us and we proceeded to strengthen our
defenses.
Today, after five years of modest. con-
structive increases, our Army is in healthier
state of preparedness than ever before in the
peacetime history of our country. Let us
examine it more closely.
To conduct any modern war successfully.
nation must have a program for the raising,
organizing and training of its man power. 1t
must provide for its equipment, supply and
transportation 1t must consider the con-
tinued maintenance of the loyal and whole
hearted support of the civilian population
behind the lines 1t must keep the cost of
preparedness reasonable, lest it unbalance the
economic life of the country and become
loathsome burden Our national-defense pro-
gram attempts to cover llthese vital needs.
Under the present mobilization plans, the
United States expects to place in the field an
initial protective force, fully equipped, of
about four hundred thousand men. This force
embraces the greater part of the Regular
Army in the United States and the National
Guard. Within four months following
declaration of war, it expects to increase its
initial protective force to an army of million
men, of which about 73O, 600 will be in organi-
cations and about 10000 will be classed as
requirements.
Once these men are called to the colors,
they will find Regular Army better equipped.
better trained better instructed and with
better understanding of the civilians who
must be converted quickly into soldiers than
at any time in our history.
They will find the Army better fed than
ever before. The monotony of canned salmon
stewed prunes, baked beans, hash, slum and
gravy has given way to modern, well bal
anced diet of thirty nine different items which
offer variations and combinations OF SUI
ficient variety to tempt even hnlcky
gourmet. The supply of butter, milk and
coffee has been increased. Twenty-one ounces

~ ARRIED away by characteristic enthu-
siasm and an innate desire for peace,
~ the American people, twenty years
ago, took it's Armistice more than literally.
No mere temporary cessation of hostilties on
limited Western Front, but lasting world
peace that transcribed geographical boun-
daries and theological frontiers was envisioned
by the American people.
That we were sincere, though perhaps
naive, is best illustrated by our official action
We disarmed ourselves. Possessed at the time
of the Armistice of probably the strongest
military and naval machine that has ever been
assembled in the history of man, we pro-
ceeded methodically to scrap it. Our overseas
veterans we Immediately brought home. Our
soldiers we quickly demobilized. Our reserve
of munitions we practically gave away to our
allies Our Army we greatly reduced until it
became but shadow of its former SELF
Instead of force of several million, most of
them ready for battle. we were left with few
loyal legons of regulars numbering less than
l75,OOO, hardly strong enough to perform
routine interior guard duty
We treated our Navy similarly. At the
time of the Armistice, it was about to become
the queen of the seas In 1922, we hauled it
down from its lofty pinnacle and relegated it
to an inferior position.
In accordance with the Limitation OF
Armaments Treaty of 1922 we scrapped
total of 73354O tons, almost two-thirds OF
which we're in new ships. These vessels had
already cost us $153,8l4,OOO and we spent
S28,OOO,OOO more in the scrapping process
and in the cancellation of construction con-
tracts The Washington, first-line battleshp,
three-fourths completed, we sank after expert
mental tests. The Montana, the North
Carolina and the Iowa, similar in type to the
Washington, one-fourth to one-third COM
pleted, we sold to dealers for scrapping. The
Indiana and the South Dakota, two more of
the same type of battleship, each more than
one-third completed, we disposed OF as junk.
We gave the world an example in disarma-
ment, but no one followed. While we starved
our Army and reduced it to mere skeleton,
other nations added sinew and muscle to their
land forces. While we sank heavy dread
naughts, they tore up model blueprints.

of fresh vegetables and approximately five
ounces of fruit are included in the soldiers
daily allowance. Foods rich in vitamins have
been added Galleries in abundance have been
prescribed; and, what was even of greater
significance, more training facilities for the
education of cooks, bakers and mess sergeants
in the culinary art have been added.
Education is continuous process for our
soldiers In our garrisons at home and in our
possessions overseas, they are planning. study
ing and experimenting The Army Schools and
the General and Division Stats follow the
struggles on the battlefelds of Europe and
Asia today, ever on the alert to improve our
methods our tactics, our training and our
weapons.
Improvements in armament and equipment
have reached all arms and services. The Air
Corps has been completely re-equlpped with
new aircraft The peak Of procurement has
been so regulated that the majority of its
combat planes are of the latest design. In the
full realization of the great importance OF this
new arm, about one-third of the Armys an
nual military appropriation has been spent
toward its development.
Plane for plane, type for type, our ships
match or excel the worlds best, but we have
not achieved perfection in our program of air
