non-combatant war-makine energy OF
the country. Nations so to war these
days as a mass. All resources have to
be pooled and taken under military
control.
When the original draft law was pre-
pared a year ago the War Department
had stll The old-fashioned idea that the
war could be fought by the youth OF the
country. It wanted to conscript no one
above twenty-eight years OF age. II
wanted to begin conscriplion below
twenty.
In this matter Congress gave signs Of
judgment superior to the depart
ments The under limit was raised to
twenly-one. The. Senate accepted the
General Stairs twcnty-eight-yea top
limit. But the House voted to push that
{ limit up TO forty years A compromise
was finally reached on thirty-one years
10 is plain now that If the principle
OF selection is to be applied successfully
It must be applied on a much broader
scale. There must be more material to
work with. Conscriplion has an indus
trial as well as military side The
government should have power TO COM
mandeer the service OF men required TO
fight the war at home as well as OF
men required to flght the war abroad.
10 is ell one war and all one service.
An age limitation Of thirty-one Is an
artificial barrier to the Just and equal
application Of the law OF universal LA
bility. Take the dependency exemption.
II men without dependents ought 20 be
called to arms first, they should be
taken up TO flfty years, certainly. IL
they are flt for service, before men with
dependents. whether below thirty-one
or above thirty-one, are called on.
It is the same thing with industrial
war work There is no good reason why
a man in a war industry who is over
lhirty-One should not be subject TO the
same government control as a man who
is under lhirty-one. In the interest OF
democratic equality and Of war efilc-
iency both classes should stand on the
same footing Age Is a minor incident,
so far as men between twenty and nftv
are concerned A mans duty TO his
country In war time should be meas
ured solely by his military usefulness.
The United States must aim at getting
5.00OOOO to 100000 men under arms.
at least five million win be needed In
Europe II the war runs through 1919.
And these five million can best be
sifted out Of a mass Of 25.000,00O 90
3O,OOOOOO men put at the disposition OF
the government by a draft law covering
The classes between twenty and nifty.
Such a law would guarantee all our
requirements on the fighting line in
Europe and would also stabilize labor
in our great war industries We ought
to get on a real war basis We have
before our eyes the experience oi
France, Germany and Great Britain.
Why turn away from IL? Having em-
braced the principle Of universal lia-l
bility TO military duty, why should we
balk at applying it courageously and
getting the greatest possible military
benefit out Of it?

Government monOpOlies in important
lines have yielded foreign governments
very great returns. The Yield OF the
french tobacco monopoly has been a
con piouous example. Among the mo-
nOpolies that have been urged on the
Derman government are the manufac-
turing and sale Of munitions. incmd-
ing rifles, cannon, armor plate. war
ships, powder and ammunition. air.
planes and war automobiles. and pro-
duction and sale OF tobacco. alcohol.
g ain, electricity, petroleum, coal and
shipping. Insurance has also been sug-
Sested as a good subject for govern
ment monopoly. The success of state
railway mOnopOlies was urged as a
good reason for a monopoly of mer-
chant shipping. 10 is well-known that
IN Germany there has existed for long
time a practical shipping monopoly.
and IL was urged that this should sim
ply be transferred TO the government.
and should be worked in connection
with the state railways. The German
government has already adopted an
after war shipping program. provid-
ing subsidies TO encourage speedy re-
building. and the monopoly i0ea. does
not appear in this program. The advo-
Yates Of state monOpOlies are belliger-
ent In challenging their opponents TO

government can pay its bills, without

Is plain that tabishment OF certain
forms Of government monopoly Is IN

The German government is faced with
the very complex problem or meeting
the raw material shortage following
the war, and government control over
the Importation Of important raw ma
terials, either direct or indirect is prsc-
tically a certainty during the after-war
period. II has been recommended in a
good many quarters that the govern
ment form syndicates, working under
complete government control for the
importation and distribution Of i'm
ported raw materials. and for the dis
tribution Of export commodities.
One point that should he made in con-

the proposed after-war government i'm

are for the most part decidedly unpOpu-

energetic organizations Of business men
have already submitted resolutions 10

on the matter in no uncertain terms,
protesting against government control
and interferences with the ordinary
channels OF trade and demanding that
the existing control be dropped at the
earliest possible date and urging that
there be no extension of control dur
