Our two Emergency Corps will
have the assurance that behind them
seven additional corps will come to
their aid within thirty days - while

These seven additional corps will

we should have trained and equipped
not only the two Regular Army Corps
that are designated as Emergency
Corps, but also these seven additional
Regular Army National Guard Corps.
All troops will have corps training
at least every two years. And each of
the Regular Army divisions will be
sent south each year for several
months of intensive group training.
Following a winter spent in the corps
training areas in the South. the vari-
Gus troop units will be shuttled back
to their small and scattered posts.
Even this much of a Permanent
Defense Plan demands that it must be
carried out year after year, and to do
this our Congressman from the dis
tricts enjoying the profits of the small
posts must be appeased. They must
continue to agree to the Army's bor-
rowing its own soldiers!
There is, however. something to

R.O.T.C., National Guard units and
reserves. But there are a number of
these small posts that should be
abandoned once and for all.
The officers who run our Army can
not escape share of the responsibility
for our past failure to build at least a
small army of high efficiency. There
has been jealousy and pickering and
plain stupidity.
For instance, both the Infantry and
the Field Artillery arms have known
since 1918 that we should have a
quick firing. mobile antitank gun. Yet
after twenty-five years we are just
beginning to get deliveries of this alb
solutely necessary weapon. II these
branches. along with the Coast Artil-
lery. had pulled together. they might
have obtained dual-purpose 81

both an effective antiaircraft and
antitank gun - even if not a perfect
one But jealousy. and the insistence
on finding an absolutely perfect weap-
on plus lack of funds - held us
back for two decades.
More or less the same story is true
in regard to the badly needed semi

been voiced concerning the medical

most armies now call for large num-

Staff feels that special medical battal-

sions, if and when needed. But it
might be best to face the stern fact

Colonel.
Kota Khan's silk godowns were
found packed with arms and ammuni-

had been planned for that very night,
that would have wiped the station of
the map.
1--WE owe you something for this,
Mallinson," said the Colonel. What
in the name of fortune put you on the
scent of it?"
BY this time Captain Mallinson had
convinced himself the idea had really
been his own, and he took the promo
ton that came to him as merely his
due. The promotion brought increase
of pay and transfer to Simla and a
very much gayer life.

Into the ballroom came the tall dark

He even wore the auburn mustache
which contrasted so oddly with his
dark hair, which Mrs. Mallinson had

at seeing him. What was strange was
that he should be equally taken aback
at the sight of her.

At this juncture, Mrs. Mallinson
says, she lost her nerve over the whole

was needed. Finally the Assistant
Secretary of War simply ordered them
to 20 ahead with the Garand - even
if it we're not entirely perfect.
Possibly War Department officers
have spent too much time in technical
matters of equipment, rather than IN
tactical matters, Let army officers
decide on the kind of weapon or equip
ment they need - and then turn the
Job of designing and manufacturing
it over to our highly organized civilian
industries. We have superb civilian
technical skill that can translate army
needs into guns and equipment, If
there is a moderate flow of orders to
keep experts and machines busy.
This peculiar manufacturing genius
of ours is at last being utilized by an
efficient and imaginative Assistant
Secretary of War in the forming OF
vast industrial war machine. Amer
ica's industry. along with our man
power, our raw materials. is the true
foundation of our defense.
An integral part of this great war
industrialization plan is our Army
Industrial College. Each year some
eighty picked army officers take an
advanced course in the practical work
of just how we can best utilize our re-
sources, industrial plants, labor sup.
ply, transportation systems and the
genius of our country in supplying the
CRITICAL and essential" items that
our Army needs. along with the vast
total of ordinary items of equipment.
More than 10000 factories and
plants have been studied and have
had tasks allotted to them. These
patriotic factory owners and mana
gers have been almost universally
eager to help to the limit at any time
an emergency shall arise. but they can
hardly be expected to finance now
the preparation of their plants for full
production at some unknown date.
The giving of Educational Or
ders" has solved this problem, and
now a number of plants already have
made the proper jigs. dies and special
machinery, and have actually turned
out small quantities of these Critical
and essential items Soon our 462,-
600 Regular and National Guard
troops will be fully equipped; and If
Congress votes the funds, all the
CRITICAL items and the most needed
essential items for an army OF
million men will be made.
Take the vital item of gas masks.

The magnificent cadenza, composed
by Mr.. Grandjany in conformity
with Haendels style, brought into
play his unlimited resources as q
virtuoso and a musician. serving to
climax performance which set up
new standards. Numerous recalls
and volumes Of applause assured Mr..
Grandjany Of the pubnc's esteem
for his art. -.
Eugene Goosen's "suite for Two
Violins and Harp, Op. 6" gave more
prominence to the first violin, using
the harp as an ACCOMPANYING
medium. The work, divided into
three movements, "Impromptu,"
"Serenade" and advertisement"
Is delightful and refreshing through
out, written in a romantic mood, yet
having strength both in its struc-
ture and its theme. Mr.. Kroll, whose
fine tone and virtuosity on the
violin equaled that OF Mr.. Grand
jany on the harp, gave . spirited
reading of the work.
Two pieces, an "Aria In the
Classic Style, Op. 49," and Pail
tasie-Choral," on the hymn "Pange
Lingua, Op. 2l," dedicated to Mrs.
Coolidge, formed the third and last
Offering by Mr.. Grandjany, this
time with the assistance of E. Power
Biggs at the organ. In the Fan
tasie," the harp often Wed with
the organ repeating the f1gurations
or completing the harmonization.
On the whole the work was less
effective for the harp as solo in
strument although it gave further
idea of its possibilities in ensemble.
The "Fantasie" was given its first
performance at this concert, having
been commissioned by the Coolidge
Foundation for this festival.
Special interest centered on the
Sonata for Two Violins and Two
Pianos." by jerry Fitelberg, which,
composed in 1898, was given its pre-
miere in this country Saturday. Mr..
Fitelberg is an ltra-modernist and
as such taxes with his style the ear

The sonata is meager in material
and shows a poverty of ideas and
invention. Consequently. recourse
