T WO BILLIONS
SOUGHT FOR WAR
DEFENSE PLANS
BY ROBERT G.. NIXON
Copyright, 1889

G.N.SD. Army and Navy de-
fense experts will recommend that
President Roosevelt call upon Con-
greSs to provide an outlay of 81
00O,O0O,O00 next year to provide
vital war equipment to guarantee
the security of the Western Hemi-
sphere against foreign aggression,
it was reported today.
A responsible official stated
that, in the light of recent events
in Europe and the Far East, last
years record national defense bud
get of 1.200,0O0,000 must be
doubled this year to provide the
minimum defense needs of the
army, navy and air corps.
RESULT OF STUDY
The recommendation, tentative
as yet, is the result of the
intensive re-study of national de-
fenses orders recently by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the wake of the
Munich peace"
The Army and Air Corps. which
have been comparatively neglected
in the enormous expansion of the
fleet, are expected to receive the
lions share of the increased de-
fense expenditures.
One principal recommendation,
it was learned, calls for the crea-
ton of a combined Army and
Navy air fleet of 10000 fighting
planes of all types to match the
German air armada.
Many of these planes, accord
ing to the new defense plans,
would be placed in war reserve
storage for instant use in an
emergency.
A special defense" tax is being
studied by Treasury experts as a
means of financing the enormous
outlay.
SIXPOINT PROGRAM
Salient points of the new de-
fense plans were reported to call
for:
/. Trebling of the present air
corps authorization of 1920
front line" fighting planes,
which will not be reached until
the summer of 1910 under
present plans, and a possible
increase Of the Navy'S authori-
zation of 5000 planes.
2. Major increases in Army
officers and enlisted personnel
above the present 10000 men
and 10000 officers, largely en-
tailed by the projected air corps
personnel minimum need as 10
men per plane.
3. Immediate equipping of a
minimum protective force of
100000 mel with essential fight
ing needs, including the new
semi automatic rifle, gas masks,
ammunition, bombs, machine
guns and medical supplies.
4 Large increases in critical"
artillery and mobile equipment,
including especially tanks, anti
tank guns automatic anti-air-
craft cannon. mortars, howitzers
and coast defense long-range
cannon.
