Army policy secretary quizzed on mobilizing 500000 man force
Secretary Garrison tells House committee he favors a regular army of 141000 with a total mobile force of 500000, outlines 600 million spending over four years for coast defenses and reserve arms, and says federalizing the national guard would not solve the military problem. He urges a permanent, adequately funded citizen army and warns Monroe doctrine defense may be needed. He asserts officers are free to express views but bound by vocabulary and conscience. The hearing adjourns with questions about Panama risk and new military academies.
