The Political Mill
Universal Military Service Necessary to Give
Man Power for Expanding Defense System

stuck to it. she would have been far
better able to defend herself than
she Is today-When she needs the
best defense she can have.
Proponents of universal military
training in this country, imme-
diately after the World War ended
did their very best to have sys-
tenn OF such training written into
law. Gen. John MacAuley Palmer,
retired, so told the Senate commit
tee this week and in detail ex-
planned why it had been impossible
to get Congress to do anything about
1t. At the close of the World War,
this country had a great citizen war
army. 1t had obtained this army
through the selective draft. 1t
would have been easy to have con-
tinued this army by adopting the
plan that was worked out by the
Army off1cers-but which was
turned down by the, more polit-
ically minded War Department.
The Army has plan for universal
military training all worked out
right now. but it is powerless to bring
it forward unless the President and
his administration-particularly the
War Department-give the "go''
signal. There is reason to believe
that the Army's plan does not diff
fer in great measure from that con-
tanned in the Burke Wadsworth bill.
A Stupid Delay.
1T is true that some of the men,
bers of Congress have received let
ters from their constituents oppos-
ing military training, far too many,
for they seem to have made an i'm
preston. Only yesterday the Sen
ate Military Affairs Committee
voted to postpone consideration of
the Burke-Johnson bill or any other
military training bill until it had
received the recommendation of the
War Department. This may be
reasonable insofar as waiting to hear
from the War Department. But it
is stupid delay, which can be reme-
died by prompt report Of it's rec
concentrations by the department
Universal military training fol
Americans was first suggested by
George Washington President
Washington, year after he had
entered the White House. sent a
message to Congress proposing that
all able bodied young men should
receive military training and that
after the period of training. all
should serve for a specified time in
the local units of a citizen army
But in spite of WaShington's in
fiuence he got nowhere with the
proposition, which he renewed in all
his annual messages to Congress.
President Conant of Harvard
University, in statement to the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
put his finger on a weakness in all
the present preparations for ma
tional defense. He said: I'm con-
sidering the question of defense
there has been a tendency to over
emphasize the mechanical require
ments of modern warfare and neg
lect the human" And he added
Il can see no method of building an
army in a free democracy more lust
than that of compulsory selective
service"

Constantine Brown. ence with the
Petain-Laval government, with the
French people helpless and in no
way a party to what is going on.
But observers who have recently re-
turned from France say anti-British
feeling among the French people
is running high throughout the
country.
In order of precedence, there are
three powers hated in France today:
Italy. because of her attack on
French troops after the armistice
was signed. This feeling is neces-
sarily suppressed, but it is famed
underneath even by the German
propagandists. Herr Won Ribben-
trop looks into the future and feels
that it might be a good policy to
keep the two Latin sisters" as wide
apart as possible.
Next is Britain. For months there
has been a strong feeling among
soldiers at the front and civilians
in the rear that Britain was not
delivering the goods. There has
been whispering campaign about
this since the end of last year. Now,
the Petain government openly &C
cuses the British of having caused
the defeat of France, thus confirm
ing rumors which a few months ago
were described as pure German
propaganda.
Third come the politicians who
were the real cause of Frances
downfall. Many of them have
escaped to England or Switzerland,
but many are still in France.
X
Whether another bloody revolu-
ton such as the sequel to the defeat
Of Napoleon III in 1872 will follow
depends on what Germany has in
mind.
The French have been more thor
oughly defeated this time than 70
years ago.
If Hitler intends to establish COM
plete control over France he will not
interfere with the settling of &C
counts the French people have in
mind. They will be allowed to hang
as many politicians as they want
and turn France inside out, as in the
revolution of 1879. Then Hitler will
intervene to re-establish law and
order by appointing German gov
ernor for the whole nation.
But If the Fuehrer intends to use
the French as possible allies against
the English-speaking nations-and
he Is suspected of this intention
then only a lawful purge will be
! allowed

Mexico Holding Army
Ready for Disorders
Al Polls Tomorrow
Some 5000, 900 Voters
Prepare to Choose
Curdenus Successor
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY. July 6.-The
Mexican government, reinforcing an
appeal from President Lazaro Car
denas for an orderly election, took
extraordinary measures today to
hold disorders to a minimum when
an expected 100000 voters go to
the polls tomorrow to name Presi-
dent Cardenas' successor.
The entire Mexican Army-52 900
men-was kept in its barracks, ex-
cept for small precautionary pa
trolls, under orders to be ION the
alert until after the election. In
Mexico City about $500 cadets from
military schools stood ready to sup
port the 4000-man police force in
quelling partisan clashes which are
expected to mark the voting.
Labor Office Stoned.
The first incident occurred yes
terday when some 300 students, par
tisans of Gen. Juan Andreu Alma
zan, independent conservative can
didate, stoned the headquarters of
of a Confederation of Mexican
Workers &C. T. M union. The C..
T. M. has pledged all its member
unions to the Cardenas administra-
ton candidate, Gen. Manuel Avila
Camacho.
Students and unionists engaged
in -for-all fight in which five
were injured-four by flying stones,
the fifth by the butt of police
mans gun when police broke up
the scuff1e.
A further indication of trouble at
the polls came in announcements
from Gen. Almazan and the c. T. NJ
Gen. Almazan, charging that mot
per cent" of his 10000 followers
in the federal district had received
their voting credentials, said he
planned a personal tour of the vot-
ing booths tomorrow to see whether
obstructions were being placed in
the path of his supporters.
Labor Groups to Patrol.
The c. T. M. declared it had in
structed it's membership of close to
million to patrol the booths and
prevent any one being deprived of
his right to vote.
President Cardenas is said to
have received assurances from the
governors and military commanders
of nine important northern states
that there would be no grave dis
orders" on election day.
Gen. Almazan, who has promised
a conservative government which
will cooperate with United States
capital, give labor "fair deal" and
protect employers from "unscrupu-
lous labor leaders," is expected to
get some of his strongest support
in the north.
Gen. Avila Camachos platform
is continuation of the Cardenas
program, which has included seizure
of millions of acres of land turned
over to peasants for communal own
ership.
The other two candidates are not
expected to figure appreciably in the
balloting. They are Gen. Rafael
Sanchez Tampa, candidate of the
center, and Druggist Ramon de la
Paz of Mexicali, Lower California,
surprise contender.

Senator Burke of Nebraska and
Representative Wadsworth of New
York.
| The Roosevelt administration is
reported to be at work on a mill
tary training bill of its own. Demo-
cratic congressional leaders said
they had not been informed when
the measure would be ready.
Whether the bill is to call for some
kind of industrial training. as origi-
nally suggested by the President,
is not yet clear.
But is was discouraging to learn
that the committee only grudgingly
agreed to hold any hearings on the
bill at all. There is a fixed idea
in the minds of too many members
of Congress that, after all, universal
military training may not be neces-
sary; also, that it would be very
unpopular with the voters. This is
an election year.
Vote Machines, But Not Men.
This country confronts not the
ory, but a very critical situation.
1t is so clear that the nation which
is unprepared in these modern days
for the kind of warfare that has
been developed in Europe is not only
likely to be attacked, but also likely
to be destroyed Yet Congress has
SO far been willing only to approprl-
ate billions of dollars for the pur-
chase of more naval vessels, more
airplanes, more tanks, more rifles
and all the necessary items that go
to make up the equipment of a
modern Army. 1t has done prac-
tically nothing about getting the
men to handle these weapons, or
to teach them how to handle them.
This week some of the eminent
military and civil leaders in the
country have gone on the stand
and told the Senate Military Affairs
Committee that only by the adop-
ton of a universal military training
and service system can this country
hope to be ready to protect itself
against attack from Europe or from
! Asia, attacks that seem inevitable
unless this Nation shows itself so
strong as to be practically invul-
nerable.
Gen. John J, Pershing wrote a
letter to Chairman Sheppard of
the Senate committee, giving the
strongest kind of Endorsement to
the Burke e-Wadsworth bill and to
| the principle of universal training.
First of ALL" said Gen. Pershing,
"let me say that if we had adopted
compulsory military training in 1914
| it would not have been necessary
for us to send partially trained boys
into battle against the veteran
| troops of our adversary, and GER
| tainly we could have ended the
conflict much sooner, with the saw
ing of many thousands of lives and
billions of treasure"
Attack Might Come Suddenly.
| This is something Gen. Pershing
is particularly qualified to talk about.
He was the commander in chief OF
| the American EXpeditionary Forces
| in France during the World War
This country did not enter the
World War until almost three years
after it had been under way. This
country may not have three months
in which to get ready for attack
Whatever time it may have, it is
common sense for the country to
make the best preparations it can.
Gen. Pershing went much further
| in his comment. He said that if

and foresight to adopt system of
universal military training after the
close of the World War and had

Stockholm Reports

With King in Exile
BY the Associated Press.


STOCKHOLM, July GA move
ment was reported under way in
Norway today to form some sort of
permanent government under Ger
man occupation to replace the re-
gime of King Haakon VII, now a
refugee in England.
The Oslo correspondent of the
Stockholm newspaper Dagens N.Y.
heter reported that a large group
of leading Norwegians are con-
vinced the country cannot go on
indefinitely on the present basis
with responsible heads of the gov
ernment in exile and civil functions
in the hands of a temporary ad-
ministrative council.
The Norwegians were represented
as feeling that "easier conditions"

no resistance to the German in
vasion April 9 and has continued
to administer domestic affairs ap-
proximately as usual.
The reports from Oslo assumed
added Importance in view of a
Swedish announcement yesterday
that restrictions on railway trans
port facilities to Norway had been
lifted because Sweden feels that the
end of the war there means a re-
turn to more normal times.
The Stockholm newspaper Sven.
ska Dagbladet carried semi
official statement that lifting the
restrictions would permit German
soldiers in Norway to travel through
Sweden to Germany and return, but
would not permit transportation OF
Nazi reinforcements.
The Dagens Nyheter gave a simi-
lar Interpretation to the new transit
regulations and said German SOL
diers would be permitted to trave,
in uniform, but without arms.
King Stays in England.
Referring to the reported move
ment for formation of a new gov
ernment in Norway, the same paper
said it understood that Johan Nyg-
arrsvold, Premier under the Haakor
regime, and several members of the
temporary administrative council
were ready to resign unless some
solution could be reached soon "or

that the government would con-
