Standing Army Debate Signals Peace-Time Needs
Congress will vote on peace time army size as Gen March and Sec Baker withhold specifics. The War Department favors a force at least as large as prewar, possibly bigger, aligned with navy expansion and Wilson’s call for preparedness. Two main aims guide the plan: to handle Europe’s realignment and to enable rapid mobilization in another world war. The piece contrasts wartime rhetoric with disarmament talks and notes broader fear of militarism.
