B E OW N Member o f Coagrees, Seventh Ohio District rians fo r Congress to « o u e its la bors by September 28th wont awry early hist week when it became *vi- d n t that Administration leaders eauld not egunt a sufficient number of votes in the Home to assure p as—gc e f * reaelutlo* for sine die adjournment. It now seems apparent that the prp-. .sent legislative schedulecannot be comptafed before October 5tfa,‘»ttd per haps not until « later date. Jh the meantime a, bloc in theHoUsemade up o f the Republican minority And in dependent Democrats’ are, insisting that when Congroa* doawsa its present labors -it recess only fo r three days a t a time so the legislative branch o f government may he ready to func tion promptly in case o f emergency. Angry because o f’ the refusal o f the Douse to adjourn sine die, Sepator Barkley and other N ew Deal leaders, have been threatening Congress In continuous 'session throughout Octo- ' her. W h ilem any members: would, of course, like to return home to look ■after their campaigns, mosttfof,them still insist that they -a re , ready to cast aside their own personal interests and stay on the job in Washington rather than to turn over complete con trol of the.country to the President during the next ninety days: It is the prediction.of.your correspondent that in the end the three day recess pro gram will he accepted. " (l. Capital conversation over the.week end centered about the military pact * entered into between Japan, Italy and Germany last Friday and it seffect on the United States in the future. O f course, ..the announcement o f the pact was not unexpected: In fact, many'have suspected that such a pact had been entered into secretly some time ago, Recentactions by the State ' Department, 'however,; seem to have made certain such a military alliance ■between Japan, Italy and Germany. When.the fight over the Conscrip tion A c t w as a t white* heat in Con ’ gross, and amendments Were offered to delay the, draft fo r sixty days in Order to give, an opportunity to try - out whether o r not- sufficient -men could be obtained through volunteer enlistments, Administration leaders, militarists and the b ig city press shrieked loudly that a sixty day de lay in the conscription o f American manpower would he sUicidaiand would wreck the entire national defense program. The Conscription Act was passed in the form ffje Administration desired and soon after it was officially announced that no conscripts were to be Called into service Until after the election. Now, just a few days ago, it has been announced, that none at .the conscripts Will be called into sery- Sae before some time in December and that'but few -can be used until Feb ruary o r March, due -to the fact that volunteer enlistments are coming at such a rate .as to furnish soldiers al moat a » rapidly as they can bo taken care o f, clothed, equipped and housed in the Army. A t the same time the announcement has come -that Jpproxi mutely half o f the National Guard w ill not be-inducted into service prior to January, While the situation is • aad. commentary upon the state o f our national defense as fa r as military equipment, housing, etc., is concerned, it does bear out the truth of. the Con tention of those in Congress who ar gued that hnmediate conscription Was not necessary and was inadvisable as jang as volunteer enlistments could be ■obtained as rapidly mi the men could be assimilated into Our -military fiances.
