Consideration for Aliens
In U. 5. Urged by Bidd|e

BY the Associated Press.
BEDFORD. Pa, June 20.-Francis
Biddle, Solicitor General of the
United States, declared last night
war hysteria is now upon us" and
urged consideration for aliens in
America, who have so cherished
our American freedom they have
come to our shores to cast their lot
with us"
Already in the name of patri-
otism" Mr.. Biddle asserted In an
address before the Pennsylvania Bar
Association, some of our citizens in
responsible positions are leading the
attack on aliens; refusing them re-
lief, denying them ordinary civil
rights, taking away their work.
That is program hardly calcu-
lated to increase their loyalty or add
to their respect for our ways"
At the same time the Solicitor
General termed the bill now before
Congress to deport Harry Bridges,
California laborite alien, "a star
chamber proceeding, directed against
a single individual, that amounts to
a bill of attainder."

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. jr.,
of Massachusetts,, who declared him
sell favorable to universal military
training for the young men of the
country.
The details of the Presidents S
plan have not been announced. 1t
is difficult, therefore, to comment.
Nevertheless some of the Republican
leaders IN Philadelphia for the Re-
publican National Convention next
week Immediately fell upon the
proposal like a ton of brick.
And John L. Lewis, president Of
the C. O., replying to question
asked him by former Gov. ALT NJ.
Landon of Kansas, Republican
standard bearer in 1886, during
Lewis appearance before the Re-
publican Resolutions Committee,
said that the Presidents con-
scrlption of youth idea, particularly
as 1t related to industrial training,
was "a fantastic suggestion from a
mind in full intellectual retreat"
Mr.. Lewis is not favorable to con-
scription for military training.
either. 1t is entirely probable that
in this matter President Roosevelt,
instead of being in retreat, is in
advance of Mr.. Lewis and some of
his other critics.
Selective Training.
If the reports of the Presidents S
press conference are correct, he has
in mind selective training-with
some Of the young men given mill
tary training and others training
fol jobs that go with national de-
fense as it must be handled today
mechanical training, in its many
forms. An army today is not COM
posed entirely of infantry. cavalry,
artillery and airplane pilots. Mech
anlzed units require large numbers
Of skilled mechanics to keep the
new arms in trim for action as
we'll as men to fight them. This Is
particularly true of military air.
planes, army tanks. etc.
The Presidents suggestions that
girls as we'll as boys should be con-
scripted for Government Servlce-or
at least for training and discipline
does sound fantastic. 1t led inn
mediately to the criticism that the
President has in mind regimenting
the entire population-beginning
with them at a comparatively early
age. Undoubtedly many women will
be needed for many kinds Of work
during war-if only to take the
places of men in their peacetime
jobs. But that does not appear to
warrant CONSUMPTION of young girls
during peace times.
No one knows what conditions
and what situations this country will
face as a result Of the war in Europe.
1t is a safe bet. however, that this
country must be prepared to de-
fend itself from attack for many
years to come. Already the Monroe
Doctrine is being written into lava
law that says there shall be no
transfer Of foreign-held possessions
in the Western Hemisphere to other
foreign hands. In other words,
that the possessions Of the French,

Constantine Brown. Petaip and Gen.
Weygand are reported to have been
so much affected by the unexpected
collapse of the entire French sys-
tenn of defense that they look at
the general situation emotionally
rather than practically.
1t Is true that the French Army
in France is no longer capable Of
defending the country against the
combined German and Italian forces.
1t is equally true that the hardships
imposed on the population are be-
yond endurance. But Reynaud and
his many followers who believe in
not surrendering as long as there
is a single inch of territory over
which the French flag flies, MAIN
tain that the lot of the French peo-
pie would not be improved by ac-
cepting the reported German
Italian conditions.
See Nothing Gained.
Hence, they are telling members
OF parliament and some of the die
hard generals France would gain
nothing if she surrendered uncon-
dltionally: the population would be
enslaved, the colonies would be ir-
remeably lost and the suffering may
go on for many years. On the con-
trary, these die-hards say, if France
continues to battle in her possess
sions in North Africa she would
make it more difficult for Germany
and Italy to bring Great Britain to
her knees and as long as France
/ fights there is always a chance Of
getting the better of the enemy.
| Whether this argument will pre-
vail over the war-weary civilian
| population is more or less i'm
material. But it is important that
1t should carry with a number of
younger generals who have never
subscribed to the appeal of Marshal
Petain for an honorable peace"
because they know that such thing
could not be obtained from Hitler
and Mussolini.
In the meantime the British are
endeavoring to strengthen the posi-
tion of the group of politicians who
don't want to surrender.
Cite Plane Strength.
They are informing them that the
British air factories have been pro-
ducing satisfactorily in the last few
weeks and that Great Britain has
now an air arm strong enough to
make the Italian attempt
to bomb the British Isles out of
existence a really difficult job.
The French feet can help a good
deal in the continuation of the fight.
According to reliable reports, it
already is under the orders of the
British admiralty. In the event of
a French surrender well-informed
quarters here believe that the British
flag will be flown from the masts of
the French men-of-war. The
French naval officers are said to
have fully approved this decision of
their seniors and the crews are we'll
disciplined and unlikely to cause
trouble even though they know that
their families might be subjected to
reprisals.
In the event M. Reynaud is in
structed to form a new cabinet,
measures will be taken to transfer
French troops and government off,
cials to Africa.
