(ministration desires conscription as - Conscription It is reported that the Senate Committee on Military Affairs which has been holding hearings on the Burke- Wadsworth Military Conscription Bill, will recommend that only men between the ages of 21 to 31 be required to register for military training. Opposition to a general registration Of men between the ages of 18 and 64 developed to such an extent that the Committee has apparently decided to limit the registration to the 21 to 81 year old group. Meanwhile, opposition to any type of conscription is becoming more pronounced each day. Senators who are opposing the conscription measure contend that if the enlistment period in the regular army was changed from three years to one year, there would be sufficient voluntary enlistments in the armed forces, and that conscription would not be necessary at all. They further contend that peace-time conscription would be an un-American procedure and that it should be resorted to only if our country is on the verge of war or in danger of invasion by a foreign power. That, as far as the American people know, no foreign power is in a position to invade the United States, and fhat if the President has any knowledge or information that any foreign power is contemplating an invasion, he owes a duty to the American people to divulge such information tc them.

They point out that it is unreasonable to suppose that the Administration is requesting that a million and a half men be placed under arms for defensive measures only, and that action on foreign soil is to be the eventual goal. On the other hand, proponents of the conscription measure contend that even though this is an age of mechanized warfare, a large force of land troops is necessary. Testifying before the House Committee on military affairs, Honorable Henry L. Stimson, the new Secretary of War, stated that this country must face the possibility that Great Britain might fall within thirty days. Secretary Stimson is reported to have made one remark at the Committee hearing which is causing considerable speculation. He is said to have declared in substance, that our primary concern is to protect this country against any danger, Whether that danger has landed on our shores or not. In making this remark in connection with the request for a large land force, was the Secretary suggesting that he would be in favor of sending an expeditionary force abroad if he deemed it to be in the nation's interest? Perhaps not, but at any rate, it is causing a great deal of speculation. Upon the recommendation of Col. R. L. Maxwell, Administrator of Export Control, the President has approved an order barring exportation of United States aviation gasoline to countries outside the Western Hemisphere. This move was made in the interest of national defense. While the export of such gasoline will be limited to nations in the Western Hemisphere, an exception provides that American owned aviation companies will be permitted to obtain gasoline for their necessary operations. Under the new order none of the belligerent nations will have access to supplies of aviation fuel from \I* HAS BEEN SAID that advfertis* lag increases the price of goods; True, advertising is part of the» manufacturer's and merchant'^ coat of doing business, all of which must be covered in the price of his goods if be is to stay in business. . ^ But advertising helps boost sales and production.
