Washington, July 3 0
A special Senate committee investigating the national defence programme stated: “The Administration has failed so badly to prepare the nation adequately for transition from war to peace that, should the Pacific war end soon, we will find ourselves

fully and creating huge troop re-
serves which could not be used in the Pacific except in the event of an almost disastrous milLary setback.
