Endnotes for Chapter VI
1 Biennial Report of the Chief of Staff of the United States Army, July 1, 1939, to June 30, 1941, to the Secretary of War (Washington: GPO, 1941) (cited hereafter as Biennial Report, 1939-1941), p. 2. Summary information concerning the size and composition of the Army in 1939 is given in this Biennial Report; in the Report o/ the Secretary of War to the President, 1939 (Washington: GPO, 1939): and in the statement of General Malin Craig, Chief of Staff, 24 Jan 39, before House Appropriations Committee, 76th Cong, 1st sess, Military Establishment Appropriation Bill for 1940: Hearings, pp. 4-17.

Gasser before the Senate Appropriations Committee on 18 January 1940. Senate Appropriations Committee, 76th Cong, 3d sess, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Bill for 1940.

4 Biennial Report, 19399-1941, p. 28. Theoretically there were, in each of the 9 corps areas, 1 Regular Army and 2 National Guard infantry divisions which, with complementary units, constituted an army corps. It was supposed, too, that each area-in time, but not at mobilization-would produce 3 reserve divisions. See also Annual Report of Chief of National Guard Bureau: 1941, p. 12.

12 It is not the purpose here to analyze public sentiment, to which there was reference in Chapter II. Isolationist strength in 1938 and 1 939 is indicated by the close vote in the House of Representatives on lo January 1938; it barely defeated the constitutional amendment offered by Representative Louis Ludlow, of Indiana, proposing a popular referendum before a declaration of war (Department of State, Press Releases, January 15, 1938, pp. 99ff); also by the fact that in July 1939 both Houses of Congress rejected the administration request for a relaxation of the arms embargo.
13 Sec reference in Chapter II, p. 22 and in Chapter IV, p. 102 to Ltr, TAG for WPD and others, 9 Feb 39, sub: War Dept Attitude Regarding Additional Men for Mobile Army-, and Enclosure entitled "Reinforcement for Overseas Possessions and Need for Expeditionary Forces."

14 Memo, SGS for ACofS WPD, 17 Apr 39, sub: Preparedness, OCS 21060-2. It is probable that the President was kept informed of this planning, but no direct evidence has been found to show that he was actively concerned before August. The Joint Board at this time was at work on the plan which in August was adopted as Rainbow 1 (JB 325, set 634).

25 The recruiting campaign had produced enough new men to raise the actual total of Regular Army enlisted men (excluding Philippine Scouts) to 196,455 on 21 November 1939. This figure was supplied by the Chief of Staff to the House Appropriations Committee, subcommittee on the Military Establishment, at hearings 27-30 November 1939; see citation (2) below. The progress of the increase in size and the relation of actual strength to authorized strength are discussed in (1) House Appropriations Committee, 76th Cong, ist sess, Supplemental Military Appropriation Bill for 1940.

41 The changes in organization, training, and equipment following the "Limited Emergency" Proclamation of 8 September were described by General Marshall and other high Army officials several times in 1939-41. The following summary is basal upon: (1) Biennial Report, 1939-1941, pp. 2-4, 17-34; (2) House Appropriations Committee, 76th Cong, 3d sess, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Bill for 1940.

More detailed and more intimate analyses of the changes were given in conferences with army and corps area commanders in late November 1939 and in G-4 justifications for its renewed drive for critical items: (2) Notes for Conference with Army and Corps Area Commanders (November 30, 1939-10:30 A.

118 Memo, CofS for Actg SW, 27 Jun 40, sub: Revision of the Munitions Program of June 20, 1940. Copies of this memo as it was evidently sent to the Acting Secretary arc in G-4/31773. A very much longer and more detailed version is in WPD 4321, Munitions Program (Mr. Knudsen), data accumulated by Colonel Crawford. This WPD file version contains the language quoted above. Markings are not adequate to enable full identification as to origin and use, but it is probable that it originated with the committee appointed by General Moore, perhaps with Colonel Crawford. A further basis for believing that this statement represented the view of the Chief of Staff is the fact that it was retyped (unidentified except by date), in part, and filed in proper chronological place in CofS file, Emergency File, bndr 2.
