The expanded Army, when fully equipped, will be partly on wheels, partly on foot, partly on horseback. The mechanized section oi the Army will have the latest, the finest, and fastest armored trucks.

Outposts Not Neglected
Plans have also been perfected for the Teinforcement and protection of the vital outposts of national defense—Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Cahal Zone. The defenses of each of these points are rapidly being perfected to make them lmpregnable to surprise assault. The . question of the defense of the Philippine Islands is still, as it been for the past decade, a and undetermined phase of Most defense experts agree that neither the Army nor the Navy is equipped to wage a major campzign in the Far East, nor to protect the Philippines against invasion. Inasmuch a% the Philippines are scheduled te achieve full political independence on July 4. 1946, United States long-range defense plan: do not include the Philippines. The Philippines question, however. is of deep concern to defense planners, because the United States is morally committed to defend the islands as long as flag flies over them. Some plans are presumed to have been made in the eventuality that the Philippines were invaded before 1946, and the armed forces were directed to repel or eject the invader. The present American garrison in the Philippines not expected to be very largely increased, despite the expanded size of the Army, itself, nor will the Asiatic fleet be greatly augmented, according to present indications.

ASK. EASIER PROFITS TAX ON SMALL FIRM
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 (U. P). The House Wavk and Means Committee todav considered changes in the proposed excess profits tax to remove possible undue burdens on small business and at the same time raise more revenue, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury John L. Sullivan and C#lin Stam. counsel! of the joint congres-! sional committee eon internal revenue taxation, were directed by the committee yvesterday to work on the changes, The levy as originally drafted! would impose taxes ranging from 25 to 40 per cent on profits in excess of those earned in an earlier base period. This earnings credit, under the original bill, would be computed i

|by averaging earnings for the four
vears 1936 through+=1938. or by com- | puting a percentage of earnings on invested capital. The committee has voted to modi- | fy this to permit corporations to. choose any three years in the 193639 base period to figure their earnmgs credit
