Too Much Economy In
Army, Says Sec. Weeks
WASHINGTON, D. C.( Dec. 22.—
Secretary Weeks advised President
Coolidge in his annual report made
public yesterday that conditions in
the United States army now have
reached the state where “a sound and
continuing policy with regard to its
necessities must be seriously con
sidered by the legislative depart
ment of our government.”
In this connection the war secre
tary declared the army’s require
ments had been studied with care
and fitted into a ten-year program
which should be put into effect by
congress “in a manner that will
conform not only to the military
needs to the financial service, but
the government.”
In another section of the report
pressure for necessary progress and
improvement is even greater” than
the “pressure for economy.” The
secretary recited in detail the re
trenchments made by the army in
the last lew years in order to
affect economies and keep within
appropriations made by congress
and added:
“With the funds allowed during
the past fiscal year, however, it has
not been possible either to carry
out the full mission of the defense
forces or to practice true economy.
The statement to congress made
by President Coolidge in his first
message, pointing out that reduc
tions in the army’s commissioned
and enlisted strength had reduced
its power to the “danger point” and
asserted that “further reductions
should not be made,” was referred
to by the secretary who declared
the chief executive’s "words now
mwzwttmmwattmwimwim
composed “an understatement of
the necessities of the case.”
The secretary advanced the opin
ion that the time had come when
the country should look further into
the future when considering army
problems and the year-to-year meth
od of U eating such questions should
give way to a continuing 1.<;licy
of relief and increased provision for
the three components of the mili
tary set vice, the regular armv, the
National Guard and the organise 1
reserves.

JOURNALISM STUDENTS
WILL TICKLE LINOTYPE
SEATTLE, Dec. 22.—Men and wo
men journalism students of the Uni
versity of Washington are to receive
practice in operating linotype mach
ines starting January 1, university
officials announced today.
Although it was pointed out that
no credit was to be given toward
graduation from the university for
linotype practice, university offi
cials said the time spent would en
able graduate students to put on a
paying basis newspapers purchased
under the institution's ownership
plan.
Instructors asserted many pur
chasers of country papers could not
afford to pay experts to run lino
types in their plants, and experi
ence at the university would offset
this difficulty in making newspapers
profitable to their new owners.
