Country Backing Plan For National Defense
Washington October 30 Indorsements of the administration plan to create a great continental army for defense are reaching Washington from large employing concerns. Approving letters have been received and one expresses willingness to grant men leave on full pay for service in the proposed organization. Enlistments would be for six years if adopted but training would total two months annually for the first three years. Officials say success depends on cooperation with employers of the country’s young men. The program calls for a regular and continental army with reserves of more than 1 900 000 in six years. To obtain officers, 144 cadets will be added to West Point to reach 770, increasing officer supply to about 1 600. No immediate expansion of West Point itself is planned.
