COM M ITTEE MEETING FATAL
Washington. — The administration
program for national defensa to be
recommended to the forthcoming ses
sion of congress, proposing s total ex
penditure on the army and the navy
next year of about $400,000,000, waa
practically completed. Secretary Gar
rison's plan, approved by the presi
dent. calle for an Increase of $76.000,-
000 In the war department's annual ap
propriation to be used for augmenting
the regular army to 140,000 men and
the creation of a new continental army
of 400.000 men.
Approval aleo waa given to the pro
posal of Secretary Daniels and the
general board of the navy for a five-
year naval construction program to
coat $500,000,000, giving the navy 10
new dreadnoughts and six battle
cruisers, as well as more than 70 sub
marines, 60 destroyers, 10 scout cruis
ers and a host of auxiliary ships.
The plan of Secretary Garrison is
as follows:
Enlistment of 133,000 "continentals’*
every year to serve at training campa
two months annually and, after three
years' service, go In the reserve corpa
for three years, making six years*
service In all. After six years thia
would constantly provide an active
continental army of 400,000 and a re
serve of 400,000, as another 133.000
would be mustered out annually and
as many enlisted.
Increase Regular Army to 140,000.
Increase of the regular army from
the present force of 97,100 to 140,000.
By changing the enlistment term re
quiring the regulars to serve two years
actively and four more years In re
serve, by 1923, the reserves, It Is es
timated, would be 280,000 men and the
regular army still 140,000 or 420,000
In all. Theee figures are based on be
lief that about 70.000 would serve out
their active term annually and would
then be In the reserve corps for four
years more.
Continuance of state militia aggre
gating 125.000, the present force, but
under federal control and with In
creased training and equipment. The
army aviation corpa planned, while
not a» large as those of Europe, to con
sist of four squadrons with 12 ma
chines each aud extra dirigibles and
war balloons, It Is believed, would be
ample for scouting purposes.
