Senator CumminS, OF Iowa intro
duced an extraordinary series OF
resolutions yesterday and notihed the
Senate that he would speak on them
today. They call on members OF the
Cabinet and the Provost Marshal
General to give the Senate complete
information OF plans and purposes
in "mobilizing the man power" Of
the country. After mobilization for
military service is explained. Mr.
Cummins wishes to know what is to
be done "for the mobilization of
those who remain into efficient
groups for necessary production" and
also how many are now con-
sidered or to be considered as en-
gagged in hurtful. unnecessary. or
non-useful occupations" Senator
Cummins has not been understood as
advocating complete government
ownership and compulsory control OF
the entire population OF any country
for any purpose. Perhaps he or some
one else may explain that when the

will be found that about nine-tenths

its total appropriations reduced TO
twelve billion dollars-though fifteen
billions have been thought necessary

twelve billions and the total revenues
for this year four billions, 1t is easy

extension OF the investigation to the
