United States army is or the de-
fensive against getting too much
money.
That any government department
should back away from proffers OF
fattened budgets is almost more

almost killing us. But put your ear
down and listen.
Senator Copeland: Ought we to
have some good modern l6-inch
guns to protect New York harbor?
General Craig (Chief of Staff !:
The present seacoast armament in
the harbor defenses of Sandy Hook

Copeland: AS far as Fort Tilden
Con Long Island is concerned, are

LONDON is DIFFERENT

In turn, General Craig assured
Senator Copeland about the harbor
defenses of Boston. Portland, Me,
and Philadelphia. They don't need
any more money for coast guns
than already is in sight, the gen.
eral said.
He was more eager about anti
aircraft guns. For complete defense
of strategic detectives within strik-
ing distance of a flying enemy, the
army should have 408 nti-aircraft
guns costing $4,000 each, Craig
said.
But, said Copeland, London alone
has 900 guns. Craig said conditions
there were different. He explained
that "a regiments equipped with
anti-plane guns could take care of
both U. S. coasts. The guns could
be moved about fast enough to
meet any enemy threat. OF the "a
regiments needed, the Army has
four in the regular service and ten
in the National Guard The other
20 will be shaped in the regular
Army on an emergency basis. when
the time comes.
Craig was willing to go slow,
seeming content with the 141 anti
plane guns to be provided in the
q pnrnf,riafinn hill nc ~. Y1accad tho
House, although he said the re-
manning 267 were essential for
true defense. Before the committee
finished, however, it had doubled
the $12,700,OO0 appropriation for
anti-plane guns and equipment so
the Army can have 308 as fast as
it can build them instead of only
141.
