The War College envisions Germany could land 827,000 troops in 30 days and Japan 239,000 in 41 days. It calls for $500 million in year one to raise forces, with a standing army of 258,500, a regular reserve totaling 379,000, a 500,000 civilian continental reserve, harbor defenses, and mobile forces for emergencies.

The annual report of Attorney General Thomas W. Gregory to Congress calls for new laws to curb espionage and sabotage, punish parole violations by interned German crews, and seize arms shipped in violation of a national embargo.

The report requests $11,107,546 for next fiscal year and stresses need for updated international-relations statutes.
