for feeding the millions now starving
in Axis-occupied countries, Northern
Baptist Convention delegates were
told today.
Noting some protests that feeding
conquered peoples would aid the
Axis, the Rev. L. B. Moseley Of
Madison, Wis, said in his address:
ITO those who advocate starving
millions of people in order to destroy
Hitler and his program, We must
say that it was starvation plan OF
coercion that gave Hitler his chance.
1t is our conviction that a reversal
of that policy will relax the fear OF
being crushed, on which Hitler's
regime is founded, and will form
the friendship upon which, eventual
ly, we must build a peace"

Leaders in Congress
Voice Opposition 10
Drafting Boys, 1919
Use of Youths on Forms
And in Factories Urged
As Better Proposal
BY the Associated Press.

by the hSSOClhtco freos.
Strong bipartisan opposition
developed today against any
move in Congress to draft men
in the 18-19-year age classes for
military service.
Senator Hill Of Alabama, the
Democratic whip, declared he would
oppose any change Of this nature
in tho Selective Service Act-a
change which the Army was re-
ported preparing to request.
At the same time Senate Minor
ity Leader McNary predicted that
any such proposal would be certain
to arouse controversy in the Sen
ate, which once voted to draft 19-
year-olds but subsequently compro-
missed with the House on 20 years,
the present minimum.
Demands "Strong Reason"
Senator Hill said that unless the
War Department presented some
strong and compelling reasons"
why younger men should be brought
into the service, he doubted that
any good purpose would be served
by interrupting their schooling or
taking them out of essential jobs.
Senator Taft. Republican, of Ohio
said he thought there would be lit
tie to be gained, as far as the over
all war effort was concerned, by
placing these youngsters in the mill
tary ranks.
These boys could be used In fac
tories, releasing somewhat older
men for service, keeping the man
power level intact" he said "Of
course, If the Army says 1t must
have them, then it must But if
they are taken now. there will be
many of them who will never finish
their education and that will not be
a good thing for the future"
Urges Youths on Farms.
Senator Shipstead, Republican, of
Minnesota suggested that youths of
that age now attending school be
recruited to do farm work during
the summer, offsetting what he said
was becoming a serious shortage of
agricultural labor.
They are taking about everybody
of the farms now except the kids
and if they take them I don't know
who is going to do the work." he
declared.
