Inadequate Transportation Hampers Russian Petroleum Dondon, June 2.—Russia Is a poor field for oil development now because of demoralized transportation, says Sir Henri Deterdlng, director general of the Royal Dutch company. If oil la found by drillers, there Is still the problem of what to do with It, he adds Harding’s View on “Next War” Is Challenged Statement That Dollars Would Be Drafted Received With Reservations in Army and Navy Circles. By T’nlversBl Service. Washington, June 3.—President Harding's Memorial day declaration that in the "next war’’ dollars and materials would he drafted along with manpower has aroused great inter est and discussion here. The high Idealism of the presi dent's plan is generously applauded but in army and navy circles the idea is received with strong reserva tions. Rrig. Gen. H. G. Johnson *of the officers reserve corps, who rewrote the draft law at the instance of Gen. Enoch H. Crowder, already has furn ished the army general staff with a paper setting forth objections to the president's plans. Expected to Demand Action. It is taken for granted, in view of the fact that President Harding also announced in his message on assum ing office that he would go after the profiteers In another war. that he will demand appropriate action by congress. In this event he will meet with stubborn resistance from the general staff. In fact, the staff has evolved a draft law as a preparedness measure which does not embody the president's views and sentiments. This measure will be held in reserve subject to the call of congress. General Johnson writes: "The president, the secretary of war and the general staff of the arm ies have expressed the thought that in future warlike emergency the draft shall be given a far wfder appli cation to capital, industry and labor than In the world war. Term* Confusing. "We hear that 'every dollar of capi tal, every unit of labor, every Indus try. shall answer the draft call.' The terms ‘Industrial army,' 'mobilization. i}f labor,’ and 'draft of dollars as well as men, are used quite freely and to anyone who, In the war, participated In Industrial and manpower mobilize tlon, they are confusing. "Congress, under the constitution, ha* express power to raise and sup port armies. The extent of that power to require various employment for the government, willing to un willing. military or nonmilitary, from any citizen. Is clearly established in very early decision* on the power and Intent of the common law of Eng land. But congress I* expressly limit ed in its power to take private prop erty for public use, or to decree in voluntary servitude except as punish ment for crime.” British Experts Review Reparations Program By Vnlvrrssl Service.
