How Could We Arm Them The War Armament Question
The article discusses the Franco German war cloud and potential Anglo American friction over fisheries, noting the Springfield single shot rifle as standard but outclassed by modern magazine rifles. It argues the US government delays adopting private American manufactured arms despite foreign recognition of superior magazine guns and cites a 1982 congressional act directing field tests for a suitable US service magazine rifle.

A government report favoring the Lea Remington, Chaffee Reed, and Hotchkiss arms led to orders totaling 750 of each for troops. Reports from over 100 companies show the Remington favored, Hotchkiss close behind.
