To raise an army comprising hun

an inroad into the man power OF the
nation. We are committed to this war
effective fashion possible TO US. The
necessity OF raising an army is para
mount. The decrease in labor supply
must be adjusted in some way other
han by shutting off recruitment. That
it can be adjusted there Is no question.
We see what England has done. what
France has done, and most of all what
Germany has done. The problem Is not
to maintain the labor supply of agri-
culture and OF every industry intact.
It is to make the withdrawal of men
IN the most scientific manner possible.

to you that with any greater inroads

Army We shall be sending Inferior

tribution to the cause OF humanity ID

To do SO would be TO relsgate the
United States to the role Of sutier OF

course. increase our production. We
shall become more and moro effective
as a nation and we shall supply our
new armies and do all that can be ex-

our allies. But We shall not, under
