Efficiency

The one thing delaying all the foregoing proposals is that the Army is not yet up to the standard the General has set, and there is no reason to believe that that standard will be reached in the immediate future. This is no confession of weakness, as any who saw Saturday's parade will, agree, but an indication of the magnitude of his, plans. There is much expansion and training to be done, and to these nothing will be granted priority. However, even while they are dominant, preparations for the introduction of the educational scheme outlined are going on in parallel with them. "Salient" representatives left the interview more confident about the Army's appreciation of the value of education than they were when they went there.
