Question of Taking Men Over to France Chief Discussion
Secretary Baker faced the Senate military committee about troop transport to France this year. He said his early statements reflected broad opinion, not precise expert data, and pledged to provide exact figures on available ships and plans tomorrow. He stressed the need for a centralized, efficient munitions approach but rejected a new permanent department, arguing existing agencies should be coordinated under one central authority.
