Army Instructors 10 Study
Problems Of Guard

Increased interest by Regular
Army officers, assigned to Nationa
Guard units as senior instructors
is being impressed on such officers
particularly in the Sd Corps Area
These instructors, it was made plain
are not just to supervise the instruc-
ton OF the National Guardsmen
from a distant point, but are tc
make regular visits to junior in
structors at scattered points in Their
area and ascertain the progress OF
their work.
It was pointed out that so far as
possible the senior instructor should
gain and maintain a working knowl-
edge of the problems confronting
the National Guard commands and
endeavor to assist them in their solu-
ton. This is not to be considered
as an attempt Of the Army to med
die in the strictly local affairs OF
the guardsmen, but real effort to
assist them in solving their prob
lens.
These instructors will serve as
advisers to the guardsmen whenever
they need the services Of the more
experienced military men, and it was
pointed out that this is the only
purpose of authorizing the instruc-
tors to go beyond their usual mill
tary duties.
So far as the travel funds of the
Army will permit, the instructors
are under orders to visit the units
and instructors in various parts of
their territory at least twice a year.
The senior instructor is to spend
sufficient time at each station to in
sure a thorough knowledge on his
part of the work Of the instructor,
and of the problems Of the particu-
lar units quartered in the area in
which he is visiting. The time for
making the visits is left to the dis
cretion Of the senior instructor, but
it was explained that all he has to
do is to make the necessary travel
requests of the corps area headquar-
ters. However, with the prospect
that the Guard will be called into
the service, and with increased ma
tional defense funds available for the
transportation of both officers and
men, it is probable that more Of
these visits will be made during the
next few months than ever before,

Interpreting The War

four years by Great Britain since
1886.
In the initial stage. it seems en-
tirely likely that more substantial
progress is being made amid less
confusion than in the comparable
period of 1917.
Certainly American plans are on
a vast scale. The British four years
ago undertook the construction of
ordnance plants estimated to cost
SITS, 900, 900. and eventually SO we're
put into operation to expand the
output of private industry. BY COM
parison, war department blueprints
are ready for exactly twice as
many, involving some $3.50, 600, 600.
These calculations and compari.
sons are confined to economic mo.
Utilization - the conversion of in
dustry from peacetime production
to the manufacture of planes,
tanks, w~arships and the thousands
of other weapons and items of sup
ply comprising munitions. All 9th.
er immediate preparedness pro-
blems are overshadowed by this
task, whose essence is time as
well as money.
Despite all the striving for speed,
weeks must elapse before all con-
tracts T placed even for IN e
arms provided for in the funds
voted last month, entirely aside
from the thousands of orders in
volved in the coastly proposals yet
to come.
The most laborious progress thus
far, a. anticipated, has been in ar
ranging to step up in the output Of
army ordnance. Only about $40,
900, 600 of $500, 600, 900 has been ex-
pended, but contracts representing
about 5000, O00, 900 are to be ready
shortly.
Another order being put in shape
involves more than 1000 motor
trucks for the expanding army.
Immediately ahead is a major
difficulty resulting from a congress
sional limitation of eight per cent
of profits and rulings of the treas
ury on tax calculations. Aircraft
manufacturers particularly have
complained against being forced tc
face risks of loss which they con-
tend r unjustifiable.
Congress has been advised re-
peatedly, and will be further, not
to expect munitions to be produced
automatically like chewing 6 m
when a coin is dropped in a slo
machine. Major General Henry H
Arnold, army air corps chief, com
mented along this line that there
was no known way to shorten the
three weeks required to hatch {
chicken, although twice as many
eggs might be Matched by putting
two hens to work. ;

The drive to rearm America is
proceeding at a speed which is en-
tirely satisfactory to the men at
the controls.
They r primed to give that
answer to questions which they ex-
pect from congress when President
Roosevelt submits his request for
SIS, 1000, 600, 600 additional for de-
tense.
Accurate guages of progress are
lacking and less than two months
has elapsed since Mr.. Roosevelt
asked for the first extra defense
funds, advancing at the S a m e
time the proposal for so. 900
planes. Nevertheless, the available
evidence indicates that in major
respects the mobilization of nation
al resources is ahead or fully
abreast of official expectations.
It may be significant that de-
tails of the newest program, in
volving long range tasks of NUM-
tons manufacture for thousands of
industrial plants, were worked out
in five weeks. The defense advis-
DRY, commission, army and navy
officials had expected that as much
as three months would be required.
In the considered judgment of
one key official expert, whose ca
reer has been devoted to advance
preparations for the emergen-
cy preparedness efforts now in full
swing, the United States is moving
fully as fast in reinforcing its mill
tary might as did the Nazis at
the outset of Adolf Hitler's drive
to convert democratic Germany in
to a totalitarian nation in arms.
BY careful calculations of the de-
tense commission, mass production
of munitions should reach full
stride in 16 months, compared with
the two years the United States
required under wartime pressure
a quarter century ago, two years
by Nazi Germany and three or
