Book Description
Excerpt from Fortifications Appropriations Bill, 1921: Hearings Before the Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, United States Senate, Sixty-Sixth Congress, Second Session on H. R. 13555, Bill Making Appropriations for Fortifications and Other Works of Defense, for the Armament Thereof There is no doubt whatever that we were unprepared in that respect at the outbreak of the late war, and in my opinion a tre mendons saving could have been made if we had had the proper kind of training carried on to a sufficient extent to have trained a corps of Ordnance officers in sufficient numbers to have done this important work. Now, of course you can not maintain a school for training Ord nance Officers unless you have a plant to run, in the different parts, to some extent, and you can not carry on experimental work and keep the art of manufacturing these different kinds of ordnance up to date unless you carry on the manufacture to some extent.
