"While the committee has great ly reduced those appropriations which support some of the more expensive branches of the national guard," the report said, it be lieves that if the war department will follow a policy of permitting the growth of the national guard along the most economic and use ful lines, which are infantry or ganizations and will minimize the organization of those branches of the guard which require the issue and maintenance of animals and motors, and special technical equipment that material economies can be effected which not only will increase the efficiency of the guard but will aid in its growth and ex pansion."
