Col John S Bersey states Michigan National Guard is five thousand times better trained and equipped than in 1917 in a period of rising auto matic rifle production. The 107th Observation Squadron at Wayne County airport Detroit has twelve planes, nine recently delivered, with pilots gunners and observers.

Michigan Guard Builds Up as Armament Plans Expand
The piece notes horseback 106th Cavalry and 182nd Field Artillery as legacy units in a modernizing force while contrasting with mechanized units elsewhere. It cites a four billion dollar armament authorization and a doubling of the regular army from 225,000 to 400,000, with Michigan's guard growing to over 6,000 and a 1,000 man recruitment last year.

Military Viewpoint on War Preparations in Michigan
Military observers warn that a German invasion of the British Isles would force large scale mobilization in the United States. A national guard strength of three million men is urged, while Michigan debates funding armories. Observations planes cost about 60 000 each and an anti aircraft regiment requires roughly 10 million dollars. Increased federal taxes would follow.

Michigan representative Albert J. Engel urged immediate creation of tools dies and jibs for war plant production.
