To expand and increase anti-aircraft batteries and other equipment and to supply an initial protective force of 1,000000 men, To gear the productive capacities of the war industries to possible war needs, It provides U.S.$5,000,000 be spent on improvements in coast defence facilities in the Canal Zone, It appeared unlikely that any new projects would be started in Hawaii, because all possible improvements in air bases and dock facilities there are already under way, But all other off-shore possessions, including the Philippines, are virtually certain of a share of the appropriation, They will probably receive an increase in personnel, supplies, and equipment, including modern artillery, and their feld exercises will be expanded to virtually a war time basis,—United Press,
