~ KNO EES : PUSH IN PACE

Approves Principles of |

‘Universal Draft Urged ‘By Legion.

Y WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 (U. P). _ =-Secretary of the Navy Knox,| warning that Japan is expected to]

make a “big push” in the southwest Pacific, said today that he approved the principle of universal conscription of men, materials and wealth for the war effort.

‘The secretary told a press confer-|

ence he was “gratified” by the ac- - tion of the American Legion convention at Kansas City in proposing that labor and wealth be drafted. “In abstract fashion,” he said, ‘it

is a sound principle. Everyonemust|

agree with it. But it is rather| difficult to, work out in detail. This|

: y is working toward that what tarian war means.” Sees Solomon Drive

Asked: about rumors that the

Japanese were preparing a powerful

drive against American positions in the Solomons, he said: “Of course, that is a safe and sound assumption. We operate on that basis. To do otherwise Wopld be foolish over-confidence.” Knox," who returned last night from the American Legion convention at Kansas City, said he was }tremendously “inspired and gratifled” by the action taken by the convention. He said he was in sympathy with “about everything they did.” ‘Asked whether he was in symthy with the legion’s indorseent of a lowering of the draft age to 18, Knox said he “didn’t notice” that such action had been taken. But he did recall that the Legion went on record as favoring; -continuation of voluntary- enlistments to meet navy personnel needs. Cites Marine Reporting Commenting on published reports that the armed servives were assuming more and more the job of reporting the war for the American press, Knox said the only such tendency he knew about was what the marines were doing. The marine corps, he said, is accepting for enlistment some younger newspapermen and training them to be regular fighting marines. These men serve as combat reporters, writing feature stories rather than covering “spot news.” : They write what the ‘newspaper correspondent does not see because "the combat reporters are in the thick of, if, he sald.
