While on a recenit trip to the Far East, Mr. Royall was quoted as saying that U, 8. troops could not—and would not—defend Japan if war came. He later said he never made such a statement, but reporters on the scene insisted they quoted him correctly. Army to Stand Firm Gen. Collins told reporters, however, that the Army has no intention of withdrawing any part of its Japanese occupation force. Even though 1950 budget limitations will force the Army to redistribute its troops and curtail its expansion program, he said, ‘the Far Eastern force will still total around 127,000 men, as compared with its present 129,000 men. . Collins said the 2000-man reduction would be made in Korea and the Philippines—not in Japan.
