 ''Furhemore if is not believed that the people of this country have reached the conclusion that compulsory military service necessity However rational such conclusion may he and however inevitable ii be thought that the people will eventually reach such conclusion, it is futile to found policy any requisite at this tme if there is reasonable nope expect that will receive the approval of the people this time

says the German foreign Office in
its note, Germany will adopt re-
prisals, taking the punishment in
to its own hands for the unaton-
