EMPLOYERS URGE
MILITARY DRILLS
AS DEFENCE PLAN
MAYORS Committee Publishes
Views of Those Hiring Guards
men: 267 Firms Paid Soldiers

The executive committee Of the
Mayors Committee on National De
fence made public yesterday a digest
Of REPLIES from employers Of more
than 1000 National Gusrdsmen TO queS-
lions concerning military training ana
the distribution OF is cost.
Corporations, firms and individuals
in all important branches of commerce
and industry. including both wholesale
and retail mercantile trades, were
asked 10 tell whether they paid then
employees absent with the National
Guard. how much time off they would
be willing to give their men each year
for military training and what IN their
opinion was the correct national MILL
tary policy. ,.
Replies indicated that employers
throughout the country substantially
agree that the United States must have
adequate military preparation, that the
National Guard system Is not saUsfac-
tory and that there must be some form
Of universal training, under Fedeial
control.
"Of the 4S4 employers who reported
that they had employees IN the Guard
the committee says, "3J' SAID tneF
allowed full pay. and scyenty-nlnc that
they allowed part pay. The other lol'y'
eight did not answer tins question
Two hundred and seven said that pay
continued during the entire period OF
service; the others were uncertain no"
long II would continue.
"SiXty-dvc per cent OF the OuaIGs-
men who answered the committee 5
questions about the continuance OF
their regular civilian pay said it had
been cut of entirely.
The committee found that 25S en-
plovcrs who advocated universal train
ing or service were willing to give time
of with pay Nncty-eight were willing
70 bear their proportionate share OF
the cost Of defence, but believed that
the burden, instead Of being placed on
employers. should be imposed upon the
country's business as a whole, through
