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.

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. Only since,
last September has Congress provided
funds to bring the guard up to 235,000.
