Urges clearer public finances and elastic money to sustain industry while avoiding inflation.
War and Navy and Justice Department Recommendations
The report urges strong peacetime armament and open promotions in army medical and ordnance, plus contracting for physicians to serve troops. It notes vacancies in the ordnance, stresses naval growth via six old ships repaired and eight new sloops, and warns of Caribbean turmoil. It also calls Congress to address Utah court juries and the bankruptcy law, arguing involuntary bankruptcy harms the system.
