THE Board of Library Trustees

We Have Never Had q

b. the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
Gen. George C. Marshall in an
appraisal of the five-fold expansion
of the land forces, said yesterday
that in spirit morale, intelligence
and fortitude, we have never had
a finer Army"
The chief of staff noted that the
number of men under arms in
creased in a years time from some
$4,000 to more than million, and
said that the Army has a right to
fell proud Of what has been done
during the past year"
Still Short of Weapons.
Taking stock on the occasion of
the annual Army Day, to be OBJ
served April 5. Gen. Marshall re-
ported, however. that numerous
shortages still existed in combat
weapons, though there have been
notable increases in materiel.
AS for the general outlook, he
said that with the completion Of
the training program now in prog
ress, We will have an Army of high
efficiency"
Gen. Marshall reported in a state
ment published by the Army and
Navy Journal that he found on an
inspection of larger training camps
that the enthusiasm of Regulars,
National Guardsmen and selective
service recruits was most i'm
pressive."
During the past winter our
soldiers have had to put up with
many inconveniences and some
hardships," he said. They did so
with scarcely any complaint and
proved themselves worthy success
sors to the American soldiers of all
generations. -
Need Tanks and Planes.
Essential training weapons and
equipment have been provided. We
still lack many items essential to
combat efficiency. We need greatly
increased numbers of aircraft, anti
aircraft guns, field artillery of all
calibers, tanks and other armored
vehicles, and great quantities Of
ammunition of all types.
Much of this material has only
recently been redesigned in order
to embody the lessons learned from
the European conflict. A new arma-
ment industry had to be created,
new facilities had to be constructed,
special machine tools had to be
provided, skilled workmen had to be
trained to perform unfamiliar tasks
Most of this preliminary work
has nov been completed and guam
tity production of vital munitions
is now beginning. While every
thing essential to national security
has not yet been accomplished, the
Army has right to feel proud of
what has been done during the past
year"
