Mr.. Holt from the committee on mil

favor of universal! military training
under the federal government, reported
same ought to pass.
Mr.. HOLT of Cumberland: Mr..
President, l move that the resolution,
on which the favorable report of the
! committee has just been accepted, be
passed and sent down for concurrence
And, Mr.. President and Senators, with
your permission, | should like to
state briefly the reasons why | be-
lieve the passage of this resolution
will be an honor to this senate and
to the state.
The resolution read as follows:
Whereas, the necessity of adequate
military defense is the most vital issue
before the American people, and
Whereas, the permanent safety of
the nation demands efficient training
of the young men of the country that
they may be properly prepared to
render instantly effective military ser
vice in time OF war.
Be it resolved, that the Senate and
House of Representatives in Legisla
ture assembled are heartily in favor
of any fair and equitable law estab-
fishing system of universal military
training under the direction of the
Federal Government:
Be it further resolved, that a copy of
this resolution be sent to our Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress
by the Secretary of State.
At the outset | think that I can
safely assume that you believe as do
that a nation has a right to defend it's
existence and preserve its integrity.
Indeed that it is the duty of the pres
ent generation as we appreciate our
heritage from those who made and
held the nation, to preserve the nation

that those coming after may enjoy the
liberties and institutions that we have
enjoyed Nor is there anything un-
christian in such a position; on the
contrary Christianity stands for right
eousness and bids us organize the
strength of right against the forces of
evil. 1t does not suggest that we
leave our land and coast unprotected.
1t is true that there are "a few people
in this country who would meet an
invader with fearless love. They
would carry on the affairs or the world
on the assumption that things are as
we all would like to see them, where
there would be no necessity for the
use Of force Unfortunately we have
not reached that high plane of civil
iZatiCn either among nations or with
in our own nation, where we still have
to have police systems. There are out
laws among nations just as there are
outlaws within the nation. Moreover
this war has shown that there is no
such thing as international law. which
in reality was never anything but in
ternational custom for there never has
been any authority which had the ad-
mitted right to command the nations
international law or custom today is
being made by 42-centimoter guns, not
by the pen.
There are those who say that if we
adequately prepare ourselves that we
will irritate other nations so as to pro-
woke war. In the first place these peo-
pie forget that there Is a worse thing
than war and that is to be conquered
nation. AS one ma. has said. Better
Ia war than that the voice of the hun
dred million people in this country be
forever stilled upon the questions of
liberty, justice and Righteousness. He
who would not die for such a cause will
never be missed when he does die. The
truth is. as Washington said, that to
be prepared for war is the best means
of preserving peace; and to that end
some well devised plan should be
adopted.
Recent events have shown that our
days of isolation are over and that
they will never return. 1t is not a
question of alliances nor of leagues to
enforce peace but of community Of ma
tons. We are one of the family and
could not. if we would. isolate our
selves. When the present war ends
lasting peace can only be secured by
dominant military and naval force pro-

l. l will read from an article entitled
"Muddling Through by Sidney Brooks,
as to the beneficent effect the adoption
of universal service has had in England.
at has been extremely interesting to
watch the change that has come over the
British mind since the adoption Of uni
versal and compulsory service. 1t Is a
change that might better be describe
as revolution. Formerly. as l have
said, the average Englishman looked
down upon 'conscripts as little better
than serfs. He exulted in his own free
dom from military bondage This atti-
tude on his part was quite natural and
quite sincere. 1t marched with entire
harmony alongside of his general sense
of irresponsibilty and his aversion to a
disciplinary officialdom. That citizenship
had its duties and its obligations as we'll
as its privileges, that between himself
and the state there would one day arise
question of debts to be paid and ser
vices to be rendered-this was as foreign
from the ordinary British as it still is
from the ordinary American view. Free
dom in the eyes Of the man in the street
meant freedom to do pretty much as he
pleased. He was ferocious individualist.

1t is understood that tons upon tons
of mussels are being taken from the

These mussels are taken from the

oyster beds. After the mussels have
been taken from the bottom of the
river and loaded into large fiat boats
they are taken to the banks of the
river where they are opened and If
any pearls are found, they are turned
