AEMY .... too exp nsive A high ?>t i i? ?:?!? of the Army ha ; had the courage Id tell the world that the Army costs too much. Major General Johnson II a good, commanding1 the Eighth Corps Area, says: "It takes three hundred million dollars a year to run the Army under its present organization. We ean get a better organization for less." That is a slap in the face for the bureaucrats who have piled up fat jobs in Washington for Army officers who ought to be ont in the field or working at something else. There is nothing the United States needs less than it needs an expensive Army. General llagood admits that he has twice as many staff officers ! and clerk-, as he needs, but he can't get rid of them under the preseit set-up. / The danger of a large standing Army is that its officers too often are inclined to forget thai they are the servants of the people and assume that they are the masters.
