The first was in I99S when
Herbert Hoover shook this tradi-

McDonald, whom some demo-

10 Silent Senators
Ma«y Decide Fate
Of Draft Bill
WASHINGTON, Aug. li </P)
Secretary Knox urged the House
military committee to approve
compulsory military training leg
islutloii because if Kngland should
be defeated "we will be left with,
out n rrlend In the world."
Repeatedly assert lug the I'nl-
ted States faced the most serious
crisis In history, the Navy secre-
tary declared:
"In the event Hint lOnghiliil
goes flown — anil I pray to God
that that won't happen — we'll
lie left without a friend In tJie
world."
However, Knox said. In event
ol a nrltish defeat, there would
not be wn Immediate attack on
the United States but rather a
German effort to "calm our rears"
and to "Interrupt preparedness
measures we are taking."
Knox recalled that previously
he had said a ¡100,000 man army
would be adequate with a two-
ocean navy.
"That was said before the col-
lapse of France," he added.
"What I muy have said about a
land force then does not apply."
He testified that "even If we
weren't confronted with Immtnont
menuce. the principle underlying
this legislation is sound."
"Faced with a very grave crisis
as we are and it is Impossible
to exaggerate the gravity of thai
crisis," he declared. "We intisl
(tupply trained men ir we are go-
ing to use these Instrument* we
are buying at such great cost."
Ten Senators, thus tar non
commltdl. were reported today to
hold the fate or opposition efforts
to compel a substantial modifica,
cation or the Burke-Wadsworth
compulsory military training bill.

The leaders were not optimistic
about reaching a vote before next

Once the Maloney proposal has
been rejected or accepted, It was
predicted the conscription hill
would win final Senate approval
