Tardieu predicts 2.5 million U S troops in France in six months
M Tardieu head of the general commission for Franco American war matters tells Le Petit Journal Paris the United States could send 2.5 million men to France within six months. The Washington Star notes transporting 250000 a month would be needed for 10 months, cites last month’s 276272 troops shipped, and argues it is unlikely the US will send another 1.5 million within a year due to ship shortages and logistical limits.
Plans to shift war shipments from troops to supplies
The article states that starting this month, troop shipments will be reduced for several months while ships carry cargo for the supplies. After adequate quantities cross, soldier shipments will resume on a large scale, with Tar dieu’s prediction likely within ten months, perhaps not within six.
