FEAR FOR SIZE OF AMERICAN ARMY

Cut Occupation Force.

By JIM G. LUCAS Sertpps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, June 13.—If con gress falls to extend selective service, the United States will stand alone among major powers without an army of sufficient size to police occupied countries and fulfill ine ternational commitments, ! While congress discusses selective service, Britain, Russia and France

Britons quietly have accepted their government's decision to continue conscription through 1948 and longer if necessary. British conscription is more drastic than anything proposed here. It provides for a standing army of 1,100,000 men and & reserve of 100, 000. Men drafted in 1946 and 1947

| England drafts teen-agers. In fact, conscription is confined to |those who reach their 18th birth{day the year they are called up. All {British males between 18 and 30 must be employed in essential in|dustry. The government reserves |the right to assign them if they do not comply. Those deferred for war|time employment reasons who are | not in essential work must trans{fer or face induction. After 1946, England will grant no industrial deferrments.

Russia recently revealed to a “high allied military source” she has an armed force of six million {men but will reduce it to 4,500,000 at |some future date. Today Russia {has 4,500,000 men in her army; an {additional 1,500,000 in the air force, navy and internal police.

How well did General Electric meet its objectives last year?

GENERAL ELECTRIC has a three-fold responsibility—to the public, to its employees, and to its owners. The 1945 annual report, just printed, gives some indicationJof how well we met these objectives last year. General Electric's growth has come from new and better products for the public, continuously improved. Out of production efficiency have come higher wages, increased jobs, and the earnings needed to continue these gains. This year General Electric did not get off to as good a start as in 1945. But the objectives and aims of General Blectric are the same and will continue to be the same—to keep wages as high as possible, to keep prices down as far as possible, and to earn a fair profit. For a copy of General Electric's Annual Report and Yearbook for 1946, write Dept. 6-237, General Electric Company, Schenectady, N.Y.
