Russia Has,
175 Divisions
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 -Vf-The
senate foreign relations com
mittee said tonight that Russia Is
estimated to have an armed force
of more than 4,000,000, men organ
ized into about 175 divisions. .
With all its European satellites,
the committee reported, Moscow
could boast another 1,000,000 men
under arms, making the total more
than 5,000,000. This does not in
clude communist China's armed
forces. s
Against this strength, the Atlan
tic pact nations, including the
United States and Canada, had
about 4,500,000 men under arms
as of December, 1950 the commit
tee said. ' ;
But comparisons were difficult.
The figure for the 11 Atlantic
Pact countries included the army,
navy and air forces. It did not in
clude the estimated 2,700,000 men
in organized reserves.
It was not clear from the com
mittee's report whether communist
air and naval forces were included
in the iron curtain figures, but if
they were not each of the divisions
would have more than 20,000 men.
U. S. military men say Russian
divisions actually have nearer
10,000. ,
Geographical distribution of the
strength was another factor which
made comparisons uncertain.
Hearings Duo
The figures were issued in ad
vance of hearings starting tomor
row on the controversial troops
for Europe issue. Defense Secre
tary Marshall will be the first
witness. f
Chairman Connaily (D-Tex) of
the foreign relations group said
the report was issued so commit
teemen would have "certain basic
facts" before them.
During the same period, the re
port said, France was using. 5.8 per
cent of its gross national product
for military expenditures; the
United Kingdom, 5.7 per cent, and
The Netherlands 4.5 per cent.
In 1951, the committee ; added,
France and the United Kingdom
will approximately double j their
percentages, while the united
States proposes to more than triple
the American ratio, to a. total of
15.7 per cent. ' ' '
Armed Strength l
The military table released for
the Northern Atlantic Pact nations;
showed the following armed forces
strength (army, navy and 4r
force):
Belgium 102,000; Luxembourg,
2,000; Denmark, 29,000; France
722,000; Italy, 307,000; The Neth
