PERSHING CRITICIZES

was quite naturally in a confused and
disorganized state. Like other Am
erican institutions we were forced to
pass through the general process of
being shaken down and readjusted.
"We were faced with the necessity
of accomplishing a considerable re
duction toy October 1st, 1921. We
had barely completed the re-adjust
ment when there appeared prospects
of going even further. So now at the
close ol the year we are-again mak
ing plans,to meet another reduction
.of, the regular armythis time to a
point which I consider below the
minimum required for the effective
iperformance of our various missions.
"In many criticisms of the conduct
Of past wars," said Pershing, "there
have been few of any significance di
rected against the lighting prowess
of the regular units- Indeed it is
tecognized that those organizations,
though of a very limited number,
were the equal af any similar force
in the world.
''However, such small forces could
at best be sacrificial offerings if
thrown alone into modern war. Our
national, not our professional, pre
paredness for defense must be tho

Befor. the war," declared Persh
ing in speaking of the organized re
serves of citizens, "there was a more
or less popular misconception that
our population could Tush to arms in
a single day. But we have finally
recognized the need for organization
and training of the young civilians,
of our country. We now have the
rudiments of an organization for the
purpose of providing that training,
and without regard to the question
of their possible future service as
soldiers, the very valuable features
of even a brief course of military
training in teaching dicipline and
obligation and in developing the phy
sique of young men makes it quite
important that the advantages be ex
tended to as many of our young men
as possible.
"Above all our citizens have' ap
proved the project for development
of an ultimate state of real prepared
ness. In any final test of arms it will
be the function of the organized re
serves or else our untrained con
tingents of young men to make man
ifest the fighting energy and the un
conquerable spirit which the Ameri
can people possess."
Pershing said that a mobilization

reserves "would be of a character
that might well dismay the most
stubborn adversary and hence would
in advance ofe of great weight in the
maintenance of peaceful relations."
Pershing deprecated a shortage of
facilities and personnel in the Army
Air Service.
"No man can estimate with pres
ent certainity the value which can be
ascribed in a few years to the posses
sion of an adequate resourcefulness
in the air. It is certain, however
that the influence of air power will
become increasing grept and that the
nation cannot afford to neglect this
arm."
Finally, Pershing warned that
shortage of funds from Congress had
hampered work for improvement in
big guns and had almost stopped the
motorization of artillery and had
checked America's development of
the tank, of which "some of the
great powers are launching consider
able fleets."
