tinue regulation of such instruments
of communication as had not been
actually taken over by the military
forces under the direction of the
President
officials believe at this time that
in the war picture commercial
broadcasting would be left right
where it is, because of it's great
value in keeping the public informed
of the activities of the Government
and in oroadcasting information
which the Government believed the
population should have.
While 1t is probable that in event
of war the Government would take
over and operate point to- point
radio stations, it is not believed now
that the land wires would be
touched, it was said. The Communi-
cations Act gives the President
authority to take over any and all
radio stations and operate them, or
to close them and even remove the
apparatus.
But there is- provision that the
owners must be justly compensated
if this is done. The President, in
such event. is required to fix the
amount and certify it to Congress
for appropriation. In the event Of
disagreement as to the amount, the
President is to certify for appropria-
ton rs per cent of the amount so
fixed. with the right of the owner
to sue for the difference.

normal economy during and after

normal economy during and after
the war.
The book emphasizes that the
plans are designed to correct the
mistakes of the last war.
An example in point is the change
that has been made in the system
Of enlisting men.
In the World War, months were
spent in raising volunteers by ap-
penls to patriotism. When that
failed to raise the required force,
a draft was instituted. Because of
the way the whole thing was ham
died, the trenches received thou
sands Of men who would have been
more useful in wartime industry
at home.
Brief Enlistment Period.
Under the plans for the next war,
only two months will be allotted to
voluntary enlistment, and that only
because it takes about 60 days to
set the draft machinery moving.
The first draft will call men be-
tween 81 and 81 years of age. There
are somewhere between 10000 900
and 10000, 900 Of these in the coun-
try, but about 100000 of them will
be deferred from the fighting service
for greater or less period of time
because:
(D They will be more valuable to
their country at home, in industries
directly or indirectly essential to
the conduct of war.
(b) They will be more valuable as
managers, directors or other key
men in such industries.
Co They are Federal, State or
local Government workers whose
jobs are considered necessary"
Cd They are licensed marine
pilots, actively engaged in that pur-
suit.
(e) They are ministers of the gos-
pei.
% They have dependents who
would become wards of the State If
left alone.
tg) They are aliens, physically
unfit or otherwise unacceptable for
service.
Lottery System Again.
The second draft, if it becomes
necessary, will call men between 81
and As years of age. These number
100000 and are subject to the
same deferments.
AS in the World War, the draft
will follow the lottery system. De-
ferments will be decided on a local
basis, by boards of local citizens.
Those who are deferred will be told
where they shall work and at what
wages.
That's what the next war will be
like to the United States-if it
comes.
If America is to retain a neutral
peace" warns Mr.. Cherne, who
knows about business activity, this
peace will be paid for in heavy loss
OF business, with the resultant de-
preston of domestic activity. And
this, in turn, will result in a move
on the part of business to force the
repeal Of the johnson and Neutrality
Acts, permitting America to reap the
rich harvest of foreign gold. II
this campaign succeeds, we will be
on the same road we travelled In
1914 to 19l6-and after 1916 came
1911"

BY the Associated Press.
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. Sept.
2.-Senator Brown, Democrat. Of
Michigan, predicted today that Con-
gress would approve President
Roosevelt's neutrality program at its
next session and said failure to enact
it at the last session strengthened
the hand of Hitler"
Senator Brown, chairman of the
Senate Campaign Committee, ad-
dressed a gathering of Michigan
Democrats. He urged union of all
elements of the party before the
1910 campaign and predicted victory.
The Senator asserted he could
support President Roosevelt for a
third term" and declared the party
could go farther and do worse"
than nominate Postmaster General
James A. Farley, Democratic ma
tional chairman, for the presidency.
Senator Brown refrained from in
dorsing any candidate.
Discussing the Presidents stand
Tor legislation which would permit
"cash-and-carry purchase of war
materials by belligerents, Senator
Brown said:
The voice of the people will be so
loud by 1910 that Congress will
adopt the Presidents proposal. I
regret that it was defeated, without
consideration by the full Senate. by
a close committee vote.
THE fact that we cannot shin
products manufactured by American
industry to warning countries in
ships other than our own has lent
much encouragement to the debacle
which occurred in Europe this
week."

This program will be centered on
measures for which organized Gov

to all but "policy-forming" posi-
tlons, classification of field salaries
and elimination of the average

The federation is expecting the
Atlantic City convention to be the
largest in it's history, ATT delegates

Control Of Radio
In War Studied
By U. 5. Officials
President Has Brood
Powers Even on
Neutral Bosis
By WILLIAM !. WHEATLEY.

Control of wire and radio COM
munications systems in the United
States during the period of hostili-
ties in Europe, and particularly in
the event that this country should
be drawn into the fray, have been
under serious consideration by the
several governmental agencies.
Several conferences have been
held at the State Department, at
which representatives of the Fed
eral Communications Commission,
the War and Navy Departments and
the Coast Guard have been present.
Proclamations, it was said, have
been prepared and set before the
President, to be used and issued
whenever conditions require it.
In the first instance, 1t was said,
control would deal largely with pro-
tecting the neutrality of the coun-
try, but, in any event, either during
the neutrality period or during a
war, doubt was expressed as to
whether it would have any effect
on commercial broadcasting.
Presidents Powers Broad.
Broad powers are provided for the
President, in the Communications
Act, for handling the communica-
tions systems in time of war or even
to preserve neutrality. These per-
NIT suspension of regulations of the
commission, or amendment of them
to meet exigencies as they arise. 1t
is under this provision of the law, 1t
was said, that the proclamations
have been prepared.
Those familiar with communica-
tions matters point out that in event
of issuance of neutrality proclama-
ton affecting radio, the principal
problem would be in policing the
amateur and short-wave stations.
AS the Federal Communications
Commission has no facilities for do
ing such a big job. this probably
would be assigned to the military
establishments, which probably also
would be called to take charge of
the point point radio transmits
sion systems.
In any event, 1t was explained, all
of the control will not be effected in
one sweep, but will be gradual as
conditions warrant. First, it was
explained, would be the orders to
the amateurs as to their use during
the period of neutrality and warning
of the limits of communication. If
such warnings and instructions
prove ineffective, it was indicated. it
would be followed by proclamations
sealing the sets throughout the
country.
Direct violations of radio neutral
ity orders would be handled by civil
authorities, but in the event of war,
as martial law develops, the cases
would be handled by the military
and naval establishments.
F. c. C. Role Might Be Minor.
Because of the fact the handling
of communications is placed directly
under the President in time of war
or national emergency, it was
pointed out that the F. C. C. would
have little to do other than to con-

cision and opposition leaders were
cheered when they objected to the
delay. Most of the members appar-
emily had expected an immediate
declaration of war.
The Prime Minister was given an
ovation as he entered the crowded
house. Members leaned forward on
the edge Of their benches as he
started reading his statement in
low voice from small sheets of white
note paper.
He was cheered when he declared
"his majestys government for their
part will find it impossible to take
part in a conference while Poland
is being subjected to invasion, her
towns under bombardment and
while Danzig is being made subject
to unilateral settlements by force"
Most Of the statement, however,
was received in silence and there
was chorus of "Oh! Obi" from the
opposition side when he said:
"If the German government
should agree to withdraw their
forces his majesty's government
would be willing to regard the po-
sition as being the same as it was
before German forces crossed the
frontier"
Greenwood Cheered.
The House broke into an uproar
as Laborite Arthur Greenwood
arose at the end Of Mr.. Chamber
lain's statement. He was cheered
for several minutes before he could
start his speech.
'The delay might have been JUS
tified," he said, but many of us
on all sides of this House view with
greatest concern the fact that hours
went by and news came of bombing
operations and today of an intensi-
flcation of it. n
There may be reasons why in
stant action was not taken. I won-
der how long we are prepared to
vacillate at a time when Britain
and all Britain stands for and
human civilization is In peril"

said, were that German
Polish hostilities should cease
and that Britain, France, Ger
many, Italy and Poland

was based upon the fact that Hitler

law or calling a special session of
Congress.
Radio Address Tonight
Mr. Roosevelt started work yester-
day on the address he will make to
the Nation at o'clock tonight, a
talk which was officially described as
designed to 'allay anxiety and re-
lieve suspense" in this country.
The form of the address necessar-
lily will depend, however, on Euro
pean developments, and aides said it
thus would not be completed until
late today.
The Chief Executive arranged to
see Army and Navy intelligence
heads daily to study the European
situation, and had his first confer
ence with them yesterday morning.
A large map has been installed in
the White House to facilitate this
study. High State Department Off
cials will have access to the Presi-
dent at all times.
Secretary Hull received yesterday
Hltler's statement that he shared
Mr.. Roosevelts view that there
should be no bombing of civilian
populations and unprotected cities.
The President condemned such
bombing as ''inhuman barbarism" in
messages early Friday to Germany
Italy, Poland, Great Britain and
France. Hitler's was the last of five
favorable replies. Like the leaders
OF the other governments, the Ger
man chancellor said the mainte-
nance of ban against bombing
civilians would depend on observance
OF the prohibition by all opposing
forces.
Joseph E. Davies will said Tuesday
