A. Taft (R.), of Ohio, as a long

8e.aator Taft contended, “then we
Aould adopt a comipletely social-

“This,” said Senator Taft, “is
fascism. It could only be justi

alternative to the subjugation of
the United States by fascison from

Senator Taft referred to the

the Senator noted, the Army Gen

It will be impoesible to call up
400,000 conscripts by October 1
and that this number .cannot be
inducted into service before Jan

Senator Bennett Champ Clark
(D.). of Missouri, interrupting
Senator Taft, Inquired:
“Did the Senator ever hear a
more outrageous proposition ad

country than that advanced by
General Shedd yesterday, that the

“As a matter of fact,” Clark
continued, “peryone knows, and
