FRENCH STUCK
TO TRADITION

THE French system Of military
l. training did not change much
in the past 20 years. Until the
war the French still called up
regular yearly classes. giving them
the usual training an then send
ing them home again. There are
some evidences that training given

called "refreshcr courses" was i'm

have been essentially conservative
in their military plans.
The English. alone of the great
European powers. did not have a
compulsory military training sys-

same type of military establish
ment we have had, a strong navy
as the first line Of defense and a
small. highly trained professional
army. The English went to COM

THE presidents proposal for COM
L pulsory government service for
American youth apparently Dor
rows from the new German theory
that old-fashioned straight mill
tary training is not enough.
While other European powers,
notably France. stuck to tradition
al methods. the Germans broad
ened their youth program. With
obvious results.
Immediately after the Nazis
came into power in January, 1888,
moves were begun to check and 10
reduce unemployment. The army
leaders acted to restore a plan of
military training that
would not only build up the army
but would strengthen industry and
solidify political leadership.
