Militia Of
200 Million Men
Tokyo, June B. While Peking dally acculises the United States of making war preparations, it is quietly pushing ahead with the organi- sation of nationwide militia which will be the biggest mill- tary force in human history.
The defence Minister, Mar shal Lin Piao, has predicted that, when completed, it will number 200 million men. It has slowly been taking form since 1958.
The Peking regime explains that it needs this vast military organisation as a reserve for lis regular army estimated to num- ber about three million men.
The magnitude of the Chi- nese preparations can be fudged from the fact that the peak military strength of the United States in World War II of the was 12,300,000 men, Soviet Union 12,500,000 and of Yesterday, a Singapore Har China and France 5,000,000.
