FIGHTING FUNDS TO
BE AMPLE, TOO

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The man
power OF the United States was mort
gagged yesterday by an amendment writ
ten into the army appropriation bin by
the House Committee on Military AZ
fairs, which reads:
The President is hereby authorized
to draft, subject to the provisions Of
the selectiye draft service act and all
acts amendatory thereto, as many men
from year TO year as can be equipped.
trained and used during each fiscal
year until the successful termination
OF the war.
Adoption az this amendment was by
unanimous vote OF the House commit
tee and constitutes another victory for
the administration. When Secretary
Baker first proposed that unlimited
power be given TO the President TO
draft men without reference to spe-
cinc numbers, opposition led by Chair
man Dent, developed.
Secretary Baker was again before the
House committee and reiterated his ar
gument that unlimited authority would
have a tremendous psychological ef-
feet in this country and abroad Soon
thereafter the House committee adopt
cd the language which commits Con
gress TO support an army Of any size
which the President may deem neces-
sery whether II be 5,00o,00o.00O or TO-
10000.
The House committee completed the
rough draft OF the army appropriation
bill, and II Will be reported Saturday
