FRENCH BILL WOULD
Define WAR POLICY

WaShingtOn-One of the bills intro
duced by Representative Burton L.
French that seems destined to at
tract wide spread attention provides
for defining policy for the United
States touching military service in
the event of national emergency
occurring in the future.
The bill, in brief, provides that in
event of national emergency the pres
ldent may draft into service all cit
liens in the United States between
the ages of 21 and 45, or such other
limits as the president may fix, with
out exemption on account Of indus
trial occupation and also may draft
into the service of the United States
all material resources belonging to
real or artificial persons, industrial
organizations, and services over
which government control is neces-
sary for the conduct of the govern
ment, in the emergency.
Speaking of the bill, Mr.. French
said, "The measure was brought to
my attention by members of the Am
erican Legion and it proposes to de-
fine national policy under which
the government, in event of war,
would draft not only soldiers but per-
sons in all lines of production neces-
sary to furnish food or other mater
ials and also property, industries Of
every description necessary for the
war.
"If law like this had existed
during the World war there would
have been no profiteering and there
would be today no talk of a bonus.
The measure rests upon the theory
that the defense of our country is the
duty of everybody and of wealth and
property just as much as of men who
are capable of bearing arms"
