VI wllllC
there was question whether the
acceptance Of diplomat sent by
the Petain-Laval government would
not jeopardize Americas present po-
| sition in regard to France and espe-
| cially the freezing of about s1,00O,-
100000 of French funds in this
country.
The State Department explains
that as far as the French money in
this country Is concerned, the ac-
ceptance of a Petain envoy changes
nothing. The French funds were
frozen because France is partly oc-
cupied by German forces and a
peace treaty between France and
the totalitarian states has not been
signed. When this happens, the
Treasury will decide what is to be
done with the French deposits, al
ways bearing in mind that the
French debt greatly exceeds its
holdings here.
This same consideration will de-
termine the fate of the French
ships which are in American har-
bors. The Normandie, in particu-
lar, is an important and valuable
asset. She will remain under the
French flag for the time being. Her
ultimate fate will be decided only
after the peace terms dictated by
Germany will be known.
Cox Case Causes Alarm.
The mysterious suicide" Of the
British correspondent of the Reu-
tiers News Agency in Toxic has
alarmed many people. 1t shows
what happens to nationals of coun-
tries which are losing face in the
East
Many things will have to be
cleared before the report of the
Japanese police is accepted. Mel
Vile Cox, the British newspaper
man who is said to have ended his
life by jumping out of the window
OF the japanese police headquarters,
was not a temporary" newspaper
man. He was a professional. This
is important. During the last war
and even today many intelligence
offices send their specialists to
foreign countries masquerading as
newspaper reporters. Police and
counter espionage services find out
in a short time whether a reporter
Is bona f1de newspaperman or
pretends to belong to the newspaper
fraternity.
Gruesome Story.
Cox had been a real reporter for
many years and the japanese knew
it. He did send dispatches which
were not particularly pleasing to the
Toxic military rulers. Other nations
handle such men with a certain
amount of discretion; they expel
them. Mussolini has never given
castor oil to foreign correspondents
and no German internment camp
has yet seen a foreign correspondent
behind its electrified barbed wire.
There appears to be a somewhat
gruesome story behind the reported
suicide of Reuters correspondent.
But the outstanding factor in this
matter is that the British Ambassa-
dor in Toxic was not able to protect
the representative of the official
British news agency in Japan. Such
men in all civilized countries while
not covered by diplomatic immun-
ity for many years have received
special consideration. When they
cease to be persona grata with a
government. a hint is given to
the embassy and the newspaper
man representing an official agency
is recalled-usually with a farewell
dinner from the foreign Office which
has caused the recall.

Today there is almost unanimous
belief that larger Army is needed,
but there is no persuasive proof that
such an Army cannot be raised with
a patriotic drive Volition is still a
basic doctrine of democracy, and
compulsion is the primary means
that totalitarian states have used.
Compulsory military training for
students in schools and colleges,
which is more widely approved to-
day than ever before, is being con-
fused with the immediate problem
of conscripting active workers into
an Army for defense, when the Pres
ident, by platform declaration, told
the country he will not send any
troops overseas. Congress is being
importuned to take hasty action,
but the people are not yet ready

have pondered the need for such a
step and politicians have wondered
whether it would lose them lot OF
votes in the coming elections.
There is an honest difference OF
opinion, too. Some of the oppo-
nents of universal military training
believe it will tend to break down
democracy" and that it will make
a military Nation out of America.
In world of military nations, it's
about time this country became
military to the extent that it will
be in a position to defend itself
from any and all attacks.
AS for breaking down democracy
in this country-universal, compul-
sorry, selective military draft failed
to do that in 1917, when millions of
men were taken into the service.
An argument advanced by Senator
Taft of Ohio, Senator Vandenberg
of Michigan and others in Congress
is that this country should stick to
the volunteer" system-supposed to
be traditional in this country-and
not try the draft until volunteering
has been found inadequate. 1t has
already been found so, in the effort
to increase the Regular Army by a
few hundred thousand.
Lincoln Resorted to Draft.
In the first place, the volunteer
system has not been traditional in
this country-not when the country
really needed to build up an Army
and Navy of large proportions to
meet strong enemy. In the Span
ish- American and the Mexican Wars
yes. But they turned out to be
large sized skirmishes. Abraham
Lincoln, in the period of the Civil
War, when days were dark, had to
resort to the draft to get enough
men into the Union Army. No one
yet has asserted that Mr.. Lincoln
ever sought to break down democ-
racy in this country. 1t is true that
he called for volunteers first, and
he got a large number. But the
point is, he did not get enough men.
Today the number of men needed
far exceeds the number in Civil War
days.
Another great President of the
United States-this time a Demo-
crat-most devoted to democratic
processes, gave the country, through
congressional action-the compul-
sorry military draft. The pity of it
is that, after the close of the World
War in 1918, despite the recon-
mendations of the officers of the
United States Army, a system of
universal military training for the
young men of this country was not
adopted as permanent PROPOSE
ton.
