partially, and might be exercised politically,
nefariously
There is, finally, the strong, traditional
preiudice Of the army and the navy against
having men put into the forces as a sentence
for bad conduct.
This may seem theoretical, but it is not;
It is very practical 1t would impair the pride
that men feel in wearing the uniform.
II would hurt the spirit of the armed
forces, their morale. and their discipline If
carried out, it would deeply injure the military
services.
The L. s. Army at times has been
very much in need of recruits but il has
never stopped to procedures like this to fill
its ranks
1t has always resented the attempt Of
minor courts to punish a man habitually
guilty of misdemeanors by sentencing him TO
service in the army.
An army recruited in any part by such
methods as these cannot be good army.
The method has been used before in other
countries. but it has ended in disaster to the
men who employed II.

Well such was the method Of the great

THE enactment by the Congress, over the
i Presidents veto, of its antstrike bill,
may or may not prevent further strikes in
industries essential to the war effort. The
issue of just compensation for laboring men
under present conditions still remains I'M
settled.
In attempting to hold labor support. and
defeat the congressional measure, the Presi-
dent employed a tactic which he has found
successful before. namely, demand for legls-
laton recommended by himself.
At the moment it is not known whether
the President will abandon this demand now
that the Smith-Connally measure has become
law over his veto. But there are distinct
objections 10 the Presidents proposal, and
they may as well be stated
THE Presidents measure TO take the place
4 of that passed by Congress, or now TO
complement it, is directed not against the
employers or labor leaders but against the
laborers themselves.
The President wants Congress to give him
the power to apply the draft provision against
strikers up to the age of IS.
He said specifically that men who strike
in war labor Job would be drafted into tie
armed services for noncombatant duty. and.
as soldiers sent under military command and
discipline, back to the jobs on which they
struck.
This legislative proposal will meet oppo-
sition from two sides. and the reasons against
1t are several II is an indirect means of
attaining a desirable end, subject TO tie
disadvantages and inveracities of indirect

Il IS a measure inconsistent with the spirit
Of compulsory military service The army

Commintern Dissolution
To Deprive Hitler Of
Weapon, Say Experts

STOCKHOLM, May 23.-G
observers in Sweden, where
many pro-Allied sympathies
have been held in check by
the fear of Communist Russia,
today viewed the dissolution
of the Third International as
depriving Adolf Hitler of one
of his most potent propaganda
weapons.
With an Allied offensive ex-
pected in the next few weeks,
neutrals described the timing
as "particularly advantage
ous."
Throughout Europe, and es-
pecially in Scandinavia and
the Baltic countries where dis
trust of Russia is traditional,
the Germans have capitalized
on the "Red Menace" Now,
one observer asked, "what
good is Hitler's anti-comin-
tern pact to him?"
Zata Heglund, prominent
social Democrat who formerly
was a member of the COmmu-
mist party, said "Hitler's best
propaganda weapon has been
stolen from him."
Fredrik Stroem, Social
Democrat member of the
Swedish parliament, said dis
bandment of the Communist
International was an "import-
ant step in the right direction
toward peace and will make
for a much better collabora-
ton of all people In the
world"

Luxuries Threatened
Bv Gas Restrictions
To Be Drastically Curtailed By ODT Order
To Cut Driving At Least 40 Per Cent

WASHINGTON, May 23- Up -
Many of the luxuries which have
survived year and half of
war are threatened in the East by
the latest restrictions of gasoline.
Deliveries of beer, liquor and
soft drinks are due to be drasti-
cally curtailed this week by the
Office of Defense Transportation.
Many a friendly tavern is apt to
feel a drought, and many stores
may not get supplies of soda pop
this summer.
Ice cream and flowers are other
commodities whose delivery may
be virtually abolished from Maine
to Virginia, officials said tonight,
as result of the overall reduc-
ton of 40 per cent which ODT
has ordered for trucks, buses and
taxis in the II Northeastern
states. ..t
It was explained that the 40
per. cent figure is intended to ap-
ply to the total mileage for all
commercial vehicles in the II
states. When this is applied, it
probably will mean that some We
hicles (such as buses in war pro-
duction areas) may have their
mileage pared as little as 10 per
cent, while others (such as luxury
goods deliveries) may find their
mileage clipped by 80 per cent or
more.
The War Production Board is
preparing a priority list. When
this is ready, probably tomorrow,
it will guide ODT's field forces
in applying the 40 per cent mile
age reduction in their respective
districts.
ODT expects to issue tomorrow
an order "drastically curtailing
deliveries of such less essential
commodities as beer, liquor and
other beverages, ice cream and
flowers" This order will be effec-
tive Thursday.
