Lewis Sees Conscription
Creating Military Caste
6y the Associated Press.

sy th. Associated Press.
DENVER, Aug. Transcription
IN the United States. John l.. Lewis
contends, would create a military
caste system under which ''the aver
age citizen will be esteemed only as
a servant"
'The military taskmasters of the
Nation want conscription," Mr..
Lewis told delegates to the 37th
convention of the International
Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers yesterday.
Army heads say we need an Army
of 100000 men at once. Instead
Of thinking about the men who will
be conscripted, they see only mill
tary plaything, based on their ambi-
ton to create and to manipulate.
1T will result in the building of a
military caste. The average citizen
will be esteemed only as servant
of this caste as has been the case
down through history"
Mr.. Lewis prefaced his attack on
conscription by declaring that war
and Fascism lay ahead for the Ma
ton unless it sought to better the
conditions of its citizens rather than
to concentrate all its energies on
preparations for war.

Henry p. Fletcher. any amount he
sees fit to a State or local COM
mittee or other local organization.
But these local groups should be
completely divorced from the Ma
tional Committee.
Fletcher, chairman of this COM
mittee under President Hoover, re-
tired to make way for John D. M.
Hamilton. But compensation was
in view. Had Alfred M. Landon
been elected he would, so qualified
observers believed, have been sent
to the Court Of st. James. Discussing
this prospect, cynically humorous
commentator at the Capital de-
scribed him as endowed with sufi-
cient money to afford London
tailor and with more than enough
social grace to kiss a lady's hand
without making her think he in
tended to gnaw it.
Likable, Quick -Witted.
Henry Prather Fletcher, EXAM
bassador to Chile, to Belgium, to
Rome, is now 81 years old. Six feet
tall, his athletic physique has been
seen on the polo field, the golf links,
the tennis court. He is Lkable, pa.
tient, expressionless when expires.
sion might reveal thought or emo
ton he wishes to conceal, and he
is noted for quickness of wit. Once
when Gen. Dawes remarked to him
that "a diplomats life is easy on
the brain, but hell on the feet"
Fletcher's riposte was quick. 'It all
depends, general, on whether you
use your head or your feet"
Born at Greencastle, Pa, he still
lives thereon an estate now. He
did not go to college because his
family had not the means to send
him. So, at 10. he became a court
reporter. studying law at night as
so many eminent Americans have
done. He was admitted to the bar
at the age of 81. Admitted to prac-
tice,' as he once put it, "but with
no one to practice on"
Served in Army.
Then the Spanish war came as a
relief. He joined the Rough Riders
and fought under Gen. Leonard
Wood and Col. Theodore Roosevelt
in Cuba. The end of hostiIties,
however, did not deprive him of a
passion for soldering. He remained
in the Army and went to the Philip
pines. When at last he returned,
he dropped in on his old commander
at the White House. From this call
arose a famous story.
What do you want?" asked Pres
ident Roosevelt.
Nothing" was Fletcher's reply.
Then exclaimed Teddy, you
are the only one in my regiment
who doesn't want anything Tha
rest are either in Office or in Jail"
So Fletcher walked out of the
White House without a job. But
he got one next year, appointment
as secretary to the new legation
at Havana. After Cuba he served
the State Department in China,
Portugal, Chile and so on.

S10,000,000 Hansen Dam
In California Completed

by tne AsSOClate0 RrcSS.
SAN FERNANDO, Calf, Aug. Z.
Eight months ahead of schedule,
the $4,000, 900 Hansen Dam, largest
rolled-earth structure in the world,
has been completed near here.
The dam will control fioodwaters
from the San Gabriel Mountains
which caused $10000,0 900 in damages
in March 3, 1888, disaster alone.
Army engineers have "previewed"
the dam for the press, although the
official opening will be held August
II. Unlike most dams, they ex-
planned, the Hansen project will dis
tribute water rather than conserve
it. No lake will form behind it,
for it's two main spillway outlets
will remain open.
Its purpose, engineers said, will
be to retard the speed and de-
structive force of the Los Angeles
River, which has a channel fall of
10 to Is feet mile, compared with
Mississippi fall of only foot, and
a water speed Of 20 or 80 miles an
hour, compared with the Missis-
sippi's 5 to 8 miles.

this messing up of our foreign affairs
began, when the Nazis annexed
Austria in 1888, the situation is as
follows:
Austria is acknowledged as part
OF Germany. In Czecho-Slovakia
we have closed our Legation at
Prague, but retain consulate gen.
eral. Czecho-Slovakias Minister at
Washington, Vladimir Hurban, is
still recognized by us and occupies
his Legation. AS to Poland, we still
recognize Ambassador Count Po-
tocki, but now have no direct rela-
tions with the Polish fugitive gov
ernment, though Warsaw Ambassa-
dor Biddle was attached to it as
long as it was domiciled in France.
Other Missions.
We maintain relations with the
Norwegian government, now in
Great Britain, and have a Charge
d'Affaires in Oslo. Minister Flor
ence Hartman, who has been at
Stockholm since German occupa-
ton of Norway, is en- route to the
United States. Norwegian Minister
Morgenstierne continues to be rec

mark We are keeping Charge

Atherton, our Minister to that
country, remains accredited as such,

and Western Europe will eventuate

IT German-Italian dictated peace
includes a sweeping redrawing of
the map of Europe and of colonial
Africa, Asia and America, those
relations will undergo drastic re-
vision. What would chiefly interest
us in that case is the economic and
military foundations on which new
relations would rest. Nazi authori-
ties have already warned" that
trade will have to be conducted on
German terms, especially as respects
Latin America. To the extent that
f1uctuating military, political and
economic conditions permit, the
State Department is giving, unre-
mitting study to what the future
holds in every branch of external
affairs. AS these considerations
naturally can only be on a 24-hour
basis, not even the wisest of Secre-
tary Hull's advisers ventures to fore
cast what next week, next month
or next year may bring forth.
Far East Situation CIouded.
The Far East presents a no less
incalculable aspect. Everything
there will be affected by the de-
velopment of that new order" or
Greater Asia" upon which Japan
has set her heart. Once Chang Kai-
shek's China is conquered, the
japanese are certain to turn their
expansionist gaze southwark. Pres
ent indications reveal that concrete
steps in that direction are already
under way. respecting French Indo-
China and the Dutch East indies.
Should Germany defeat Britain, it
may confidently be expected Japan
will divert its aggressive attention
to Hong Kong. Burma and Singa-
pore. to say nothing of vaster i'm
perialist dreams regarding India,
Australia and New Zealand. All
these things hinge on the Battle of
Britain, thus destined to become
the most truly decisive battle" in
all history. Our whole Pacific policy
may soon be in the melting pot.
