Armed Armistice Warning in Capitol Hearings
Defense chiefs testified that replacing the European recovery plan with a larger armed force would be an armed armistice and risk drafting men. Secretary of the Army Royals warned of a return to the draft without stronger voluntary enlistments. Forrestal warned a big defense build would fail to meet economic restoration goals and could cost about 17 billion annually. The air program aims to deter war, not threaten nations. The administration seeks 6.8 billion for the first 15 months.
