Compulsory Military Training is Forecast i Compulsory military training for ^ physically fit American youth* *,1 predicted lu congressional circle Uu| wee)t as a virtual certainty if Uermt* uy wins the European war. Discussion od such a training *?,. tem and other methods of uugmentjng defense has become widespread jJ lowing President Roosevelt's requ^t that Congress give blm power* to cgl] the national guard and organized reserves to active duty lu peace time Chairman May, Democrat of Kentucky, of the House military commit, j tee, saying the United States would have to expand greatly Its armed forces If the Allies wore defeated, tosorted he favored immediate expand siou of the regular army' to 500,(Wl men. It is now limited by law j|*J 280,000, although only 227,000 of that number actually have .been enlisted, <j Other members of the comwiu*? voiced the opinion that the compuj. sory training method, long the accepted practice In many European nations, would be mors economical than attempting to maintain a large force of permanent troops and would bave the advantage of building up treinen-* dous reserve of trained fighters. Representative Smith, Democrat of Connecticut, said It was estimated that approximately 1,500,00U youths1 reach military service age each year, and that if even 60 per cent of them were physically fit they would form an adequate standing army. Smith said the desiraible method would be to take those 750,000 youths into the army and navy Immediately before they enter their business or professional careers and give them. one year of military training. There,, after, they could be called back tor_ periodic "brush up" training. The student soldiers would be paid much less than the army now pays ittenlisted men. In that connection, however, Representative Codtello, Democrat, of California, said he thought' the United States would have to resign itself to" an annual national defense bill ol at least $2,000,000,000. In normal years, the army and navy combined got much less than half that sum. The national guard for years has uecu iaio vC?utr7 o zvibctittite compulsory military training, but several house memberB said the present emergency had demonstrated the ua tern's weaknesses. - - -, Although the authorized peace strength of the guard is about 4HM men, curtailed appropriations tat kept its membership in the neighbor* j hood of 200,000 for years.
