While still in France, General Per-
sling wrote to Paul d. Cravath, chair
man of the national committee on
memorial buildings, indorsing tho
movement "for the erection of useful
community buildings throughout the
country as living tributes to those
who served in the war. This sort of

great effect on the future lives of
our citizens"

would prefer something that would

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1s.-Secretary
Baker defended today before the SEN
ste sub-comn'ittec on Military As
fairs his recommendation ;or an army
Of $4,000 mon by saying that in view
Of the "djs'prbed conditions in the
world" he did not wish to take the
responsibility" Of asking for small
force.
Secretary Baker indicated several
times that the bill as presented. in
Guiding its provision fer compulsory
universal military training for nine
.een-year-od youths, was that of mill
tarv experts rather than his own, al
though it had his approval He said
that his own guess was that an army
o. $4,000 was perhaps somewha t
larger than necessary, but that he did
not wish 20 'ake the responsibility Of
opposing tho opnion of the country's
Creates military men.
Hostages of Faith"
REGARDING re provision for main
tenance o. three divisions in the in
suar possessions, the Secretary ad-
mitted that the force appeared to him
somewhat large and agreed TO the sug-
gestion of Senator Wadsworth, of New
York. that native troops might be
used to advantage. The Senator had
remarked that at present it seemed
that every American soldier kept in
the Philippines was there somewhat
in the nature of "hostage of faith. >
The Secretary also considered as
worth while suggestion that a part
Of the youth a. the country might be
given the opportunity for naval train
ing, possibly as substitute for the
training they otherwise would receive
in the army.
The Interrogation of the Secretary
offered tte opportunity for securing
his opinion on the proposed establish
nent OF az air ministry. In his reply
Secretary Baker was frank in his dec
laration Of opinion that it would make
for ineficiency.
discourage Competition
Another reason given by the Secre-
.ary for his opposition was that it
would tend 20 discourage competition
in the development Of aerial appli-
ances. He also explained to the COM
mittee The difficulty an air ministry
would have II handling its pilots when
separately trained, indicating the ne
cessity OF having the airmen SO drilled
with the army men that there would
be the least possible chance of failure
when it came to coordination.
The testimony developed that the
United States now has 10,71S airplanes,
OF which only 3,32S are service planes
The major part Of the present equip
ment now is obsolete, but. it was as
serted by the Secretary, the types are

LONDON, Aug. 1S-French press
comment is severely critical-even bit
ter-on the subject of the new Anglo
Persian treaty, and similar attitude
is taken by the Italians.
The French, who declare the treaty
establishes a protectorate over Persia
are annoyed because the agreement
was not submitted to the league of
nations. They have no real objection
to the British extending their influence
to Persia, but they feel that if the
treaty were before the league of ma
tions it would be possible to make
bargain with the British regarding
French claims in Syria
The French press comment is severe

cialist organ, declaring "Though Brit

points, whether the fight was in the
Pacific, the Near East or elsewhere."

which Persia was partitioned. Because
of that agreement Persias sympathies
were with Germany during the war,
but with England one of the trium-
phant allies it was not difficult to con-
vince Persia that her interest lay
with Great Britain
To England the new treaty is vitally
important because it puts a new link
in the chain of influence which Great
Britain exercises from Egypt through
Palestine and Mesopotamia to Belu-
chistan.
Several months of quiet work were
devoted to writing the treaty, which
affords the British a feeling of pro-
lection they have not enjoyed hitherto.
The treaty serves as barrier for
India, barring the way of the Rus
slams and OF Germany.

Not TO Support Exchanges

The government purposes to aban-
don the support of exchanges, except
where support may be necessary to
prevent the complete collapse Of any
important exchange until our output
increases"
Mr.. Lloyd George announced that
legislation would be proposed to deal
effectively with dumping" and then
went at length into the powers to be
conferred on the Board of Trade to
check the importation of goods at
prices below British cost Of produc-
ton owing to collapse of exchange.
He said this was an emergency meas
ure, made necessary owing to condi-
tions which had arisen during the war
and which he hoped soon would pass
away.
Another government proposal. the
Premier continued, was to shield un-
stable industries, namely, industries
essential TO the nation, such as dye
stuffs and optical glass and the like,
which were unable TO maintain them
selves on an adequate level of produc-
ton.
1t was proposed, he said, that the
Board of Trade should be empowered
to prohibit imports. except by license,
of such goods, and to prevent excessive
imports where the import prices were
considerably lower than the home
prices.
The Premier declared that the gov
ernment proposed to submit at the
autumn session of Parliament a bill
for the development and control of
the water power Of the country for
industrial purposes. It would be neces-
sary, he said, TO supplement coal power
