that Britain's position in the Mid
dle East was grave. Once more a
clamor was made for decisive
action to beat Hitler's blitz legions
to the punch.
Britain's former war secretary
Leslie Hore-Belisha, in a speech
bitterly assailing Prime Minister
Churchill's conduct of the war,
told an audience in Edinburgh,
Scotland:
"We must win this war and we
will back any government that
will go all out to win it. We must
realize, however, that you cannot
win a 1941 war at a 1914 pace.
"We suffer defeat after defeat,
and always for the same reason
lack of appreciation, lack of pre
paration and imperfect execution
of the project. Each reverse is
glossed over . . . and the narcotic
of false confidence in the future
Is invariably applied."
Hore-Belisha proposed recog
nition of common citizenship by
Great Britain and the United
States as the "most hopeful as-
surance of the determination of
the democracies to establish a
new order."

Selective Service
Act Amendment
WASHINGTON, June 6. MP)
The senate military affairs com
mittee approved an amendment to
the selective service act today
authorizing the president to defer
the induction into the army of
draftees who have reached their
twenty-eighth birthday.
Originally the bill drafted by
the selective service bureau would
have given the president authority
to defer service at any age he
deemed wise instead of fixing an
age.
The effect of the legislation, as
drafted, would be to permit the
president to exercise his discre
tion to order the deferment of
service of drafees as each reached
his twenty-eighth birthday.
No provision was made to ex
cuse from ' service men over 27
yeafs old who already have been
inducted into the armed forces
under the selective service act,
