Reforms Angling for Reducing U S Army Costs in Philippines
Adj Gen Gon Corbin and Chaffee in Manila conferences push radical reforms to cut Army costs in the Philippines by about 60 percent within a year. Proposed moves include shrinking forces to 20 000 men, closing minor posts, consolidating to three depots at Manila Dagupan and Cebu, building harbors and a single general hospital, and renting troops quarters if not pacified. An electric railway would link Pasig docks to new warehouses, with a $10 000 cost for the complex and $20 000 monthly savings in commissary and quartermaster rents.
