Paris of yesterday is true.
This dispatch says that it reported in circles of fash

Well they may in certain circles in Paris but it is
pretty safe to say that they will not get very far on this

Rep Mondell declared in the house yesterday that the
government would be required to spend billion dollars
10 put universal military service. to which he is OPP
posed into effect. That may be true and it may be
merely pardonable parliamentary exaggeration but
would be better for the country and the world a;
large for us to spend billion than to have to
waste ten billions at some later time and in the
interval be open to the kind OF treatment which the
German government deliberately visited upon Unit
cd States because their military experts had made up
their minds that could become military factor
of importance even If we wanted to.
