Eleven Billion War Budget Proposed for 1919
Washington debates a 1919 military budget exceeding eleven billion dollars to fund an army of 3400,000 with pay for 1,208,800 enlisted and 62,000 officers, plus naval and fortification costs. Secretary Baker’s figures outline large increases in pay, equipment, and overseas service, while noting constraints on expansion despite anticipated new ships and broader military operations. The plan also calls for substantial funding for civil departments, engineering, and medical needs in France, signaling a broad mobilization to maintain a vast wartime establishment.
