AT THE DANGER LINE
Gen. Pershing gives warning that the army has been
cut down to the danger point. It now consists of 110,000
men, and the number will be still further reduced, on ac
count of the lack of funds for subsistence. Congress
made appropriations calculated to provide for 118,000
men, but the calculations went awry on the cost of sub
sistence and the War department is compelled to reduce
the force. Gen. Pershing urges the maintenance of a
well disciplined nucleus of a national army, and suggests
that a cheeseparing policy in peace time might force the
expenditure of billions in case of 2i sudden emergency. His
common sense advice is to keep prepared, at moderate ex
pense, and thus avoid the extravagance that would surely
be repeated if the country should be in an unprepared
condition when confronted by war.
An emergency arose only a few years ago, since the
war, when the movement of troops to strategic points was
advisable, and Gen. Pershing discovered and reported to
Persident Harding that there were not sufficient troops
to accomplish what was desired. The less said about this
incident the better; and it is referred to now merely to
emphasize the fact that domestic and foreign emergen
cies can not be foreseen. The United States should al
ways have at its disposal sufficient men to maintain do
mestic tranquility, and as a nucleus for an army sufficient
to defend the country against any foreign enemy. Gen.
* Pershing now gives warning that the army has reached
the point below which it can not go without most serious
results.
The warning uttered by this patriotic and disinterest
ed soldier, who knows whereof he speaks, deserves the
careful attention of President Coolidge and Congress, to
the end that the army may be increased without delay to
at least 118,000 men.
