McCumber Warns Of Urgent War Draft and Shipping Failures
Washington May 4 Senator McCumber of North Dakota urged in the senate that six million men must be sent to the battle front within a year. He condemned waste by the shipping board and said aircraft spending as $610,000,000 has been squandered. He warned that failing to field five million troops next year would mark a grave national mis judgment, and criticized the emergency fleet corporation for aiming at only 10,000,000 dead weight tons of ship tonnage in 1919. He depicted broader extravagance as a symptom of a failing program and urged a clear focus on essential needs.
