by the new militia law adopted in
July of this year, which makes it
possible to include a far greater per-

The professional military COM
prlSeS practically all tribes that are
found in the archipelago-no only
soldiers, but also many officers. Fs-
tory has shown that these natives
are outstanding fighters. In recent
army maneuvers all the military
branches took part. At the same
time a tWo-day blackout was rigor-
ously adhered to so that all COM
munications had to be established
in utter darkness throughout West
ern Java. This training was, beyond
a doubt, of the most practical ma
ture possible
In the dockyardS there is an ever
ceaSing hum of activity and more
and more motor torpedo boats slide
off the ways. almost in mass pro-
duction. In addition, there are many
home and town guards throughout
the Indies training so that they
could prove of real value in case
of attack
The scope Of the Indies military
preparations are strikingly revealed
by the following figures:
In 1885 total expenditures for
army extensions were only 10000 900
guilders approximately S7,222,O0O).
In 1941 this amount had been multi
piled nearly 20 times and surpassed
250000000 guilders. The funds were
used mainly for strengthening the
air arm and motorizing the army.
MotOrization Spreads.
In 1884 there were only $50 army
vehicles with a total capacity of
1000 horsepower. This year there
are more than 5000 motorized army
vehicles with a total capacity of
480 900 horsepower. The number of
engineers and technical workers in
the army is tenfold what it was five
years ago. The same applies to radio
stations. For every one radio sta
ton existing in 1885 there are now
10 stations in existence.
In 1884 there were only 300 miles
of field telephone cable; now there
is enough TO make line from San
Francisco to New York and another
one stretching from Montreal to
Halifax
The Indies continue 10 buy as
much material as possible for the
arms program. Although the terms
of the Lease-Lend Act include the
Indies as territory entitled to the
advantages of the bill it has paid
for all its American purchases. Our
only desire is to buy more so as to
increase our preparedness to the
highest possible peak.
