Guard organizations to active duty for

Regular Army and the Guard, the men
chosen by the Selective Service Act will be
finally entered for their ultimate team
training.
THE mobilization of our citizen army is thus
merely the first step. After mobiliza-
ton comes the work of making of this army
a team-a highly trained, effective combat
force, capable of performing satisfactorily
the technical and complex operations essen
tial to victory in modern war.

Secretary OF war.
~ HE UNITED STATES ARMY Is in the
midst of the greatest expansion which
has ever taken place in time of peace
during our history. When the cur
rent European conflict began on September
1, 1939 our Regular Army consisted of some
$4,000 officers and 165 900 enlisted men. They
constituted the total active force under arms.
Today our Army including Regulars, Ma
tional Guardsmen, Reservists, and men
called to duty under the Selective Service
Act totals more than 100000 officers and
men. This number will be more than doubled
by next summer, giving us an aggregate
military force of approximately 100000.
The expansion of our Army more than
eghtfold in period of less than two years is
in itself tremendous undertaking. But the
fact that it must be trained to meet entirely
new methods and weapons of warfare which
have been revealed by the war in Europe
makes this undertaking doubly difficult
Our most vital problem at the moment
is production. The full genius of the coun-
try's industrial capacity must be employed IN
the manufacture and delivery of new forms
of aircraft tanks, artillery, ammunition and
other military supplies necessary to arm our
forces for modern war. Billions Of dollars
have been appropriated for necessary arma-
ment and contracts have been let for enorm-
Gus quantities of essential munitions but
large scale deliveries are still in the future.
With respect to acquiring the personnel
and beginning its basic training, the pic
ture is much brighter. The Selective Service
Law is in operation. Under its provisions
thousands of young Americans are now in
training camps throughout the country. They
are not only learning the trade of the soldier
but they are broadening their horizons and
are acquiring a better understanding of the
rights and duties of American citizenship.
Soon they will be joined by hundreds OF
thousands more of their fellow citizens who
with them will constitute the great majority
of the men of the new Army.
To prepare for this mobilization and train
ing it has been necessary to erect large
number of good sized cities-cities of wood
and cities of canvas-to form the training
camps for these new soldiers. Many OF
these camp cities with their theaters, hos
pitals, lighted streets, water mains, sewers,
laundries, storage and other facilities are
now completed and many others are very
close to completion. To provide training
elements for our new recruits we have greatly
increased atha number of units Of our Regn-
Evening star., 1941-01-20

training. But our task is far from finished.
Indeed, it has only been well started we
must now acquire in the shortest possible
time many thousands of additional military
airplanes, hundreds of pieces of artillery OF
an types, and thousands of machine guns,
automatic rifles and tanks. We will need
millions of rounds of ammunition of all
calibers to meet the demands of any emer-
gency into which We may be suddenly thrust.
The industry of the United States is rapidly
going into heavy production of all OF the
items required by the Army. In normal times
we have no munitions industry in the United
States. To produce the commodities re-
uuired necessitates veritable transformation
Of our existing industry and the construction
of many new plants.
In addition to furnishing our own demands,
our manufacturing establishments have been
