Miles Threatens Resignation if Army Reform Passes
Lieut General Miles testifies before the Senate Military Affairs Committee that he would resign if the Root army reorganization bill becomes law and he could name officers likely to be appointed to new high posts. He claims the bill would widen military management powers and provoke civilian control issues, while his allies dispute the initiative and warn of a widening rift with the War Department and Roosevelt. The session produced a sensational, confidential statement outlining opposition to the bill and to the creation of a general staff.
