"It is difficult to understand why we in the State of New York have actually given impetus to the drive for rearmament and militarism by permitting our Slate educational institutions to compel students to take one or two years of military training." Monaco "I have no objection to these institutions giving such courses of their own volition, but I am definitely opposed to the mandatory provisions of the law which give the student and his parents 110 control of the matter.

Such a situation smacks very much of regimentation of youth 111 foreign dictatorships." EAGLE BUILDING Desirable office space at lowest rentals in Borough Hall section. Renting Agent ROOM 602 GOODS 13rd to 2155 22nd 81 Russo sold Troy ot 17. R30 Hocha public 30, TO 5th 12250 1937. at at 51. 3.
