ESSENTIAL TO ADEQUATE DEFENCE STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. CONGRESS URGED TO ACT. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 10.10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, August 2. President Roosevelt reaffirmed his endorsement of the principle of conscription, saying: “I am in favour of a selective training Bill and consider it essential for adequate national defence.” President Roosevelt added that he not only hoped but believed that Congress would enact a Bill this session, to provide sufficient man-power to operate the war machines being assembled. He said he would not cumber himself with details and would not endorse any specific Bill or provisions in any Bill.
