MARTIN PROMISES
COP WAR SUPPORT

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA R-
Full support Of Republicans in Con-
gress toward "the building OF an
enduring peace" was pledged to-
day by House minority Leader Mar
tin of Massachusetts,.
Sweeping aside campaign charges
a n d counter charges concerning
''isolationism," he declared:
1.-The Republicans in Congress
will continue to give their full sup.
port to the war and the building OF
an enduring peace. We will continue
to be a militant and vigorous force
for sound government and the
way OF life"
Martin, former chairman of the
National committe. is
sued his first formal statement on
the role of the Republicans in Con-
gress. following the Democratic trl-
umphs in the election last week.
1.-THE 1914 election" he sa d,
demonstrated the strength Of the
that we could unitedly
prosecute world war and at the
same time we could engage in a
hard fight for the economic policies
in which we believe.
THE election being over we must
press harder than ever the prose
cution of the war to the end we
can win a complete and early vic
tory. We must prepare wisely for
the postwar d avs ahead so the
transition from war to peace will
not bring too many hardships."
While conceding that the election
was "a disappointment to the Re-
publicans, Martin said "the close
ness of the vote gives the party
every right to look forward with
expectation to victories in 1916
and 1946."

KNOX, STIMSON HIT
STATE HANDLING
OF SOLDIERS VOTE

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Injecting a
practical note into the soldiers vote
controversy, Sec. of Wan Henry Stimson
and Sec. of Navy Frank Knox said uni
form legislation by the 48 states would
be needed if absentee voting by service
men is to be effective.
In a joint letter to Executive Director
Frank Bane of the Council of State
Governors, Stimson and Knox said
bluntly that the armed services can not
possibly administer present widely vary
ing absentee voting procedures of 4S
states.
Their statement, underscoring the
need for federal control of balloting.
came as a number of state legislatures
were meeting TO enact special soldiers
vote legislation. While stimson and
Knox abstained from endorsing any spe-
cific bill, their position was a decided
setback for GOP-poll taxer supporters
of the Senate-approved Eastland-Mc-
Kellar-M cclellan bill, leaving action en-
tirely to the states.
Illustrating only one OF numerous
drawbacks in state administration of the
soldiers vote, the two government Off
Gals pointed out that q states now
allow only 80 days or less for absentee
voting. Servicemen within the United
States would require a 3O-day minimum,
they said, while for men overseas even
As days might be inadequate because
air carriage is not always practicable or
compatible with military operations"
Answering an earlier statement by
Gov. Charles Edison of New Jersey en-
dorsing state action, Rep. George Bender
(R.-Ohio) warned that our soldiers are
not going to vote unless the Congress
provides them with a simple. uniform
federal ballot.
plans such as those of Governor Edi-
son Of New Jersey which place the re-
sponsibility of polling our fighting men
in the hands of the 48 separate states
have proven unavoidable in the past .
he said.
"The Governor of New Jersey main
tains that the federal government does
not have the power to go further than
his plan allows. I submit that the fed
eral government has the power to raise
any Army and that it must follow that
