Senator Attacks Army Measure in Senate Debate
Senator McKellar of Tennessee condemned the army reorganization bill as building a military system rivaling any in history. He objected to a large general staff, under secretary of war office, and a war council, and opposed universal military training. Wadsworth and Frelinghuysen defended the bill as lessons from World War I to cut red tape and boost efficiency. The Senate deferred fixing peacetime army strength until after universal training debates.
