Private schools, of course, mean Catholic schools, for the most part. If a program of high-powered federal aid goes to public schools only, the parochial system could not maintain equal educational standards. Catholic organizations are, therefore, deeply concerned with getting a share of any federal funds. Under the Taft kind of compromise, parochial schools would get stronger in some states, and weaker in others, depending on the power of local Catholic pressure groups.

The "Republican hiatus" represents nothing more reactionary than a pause to think--but thinking seems to be out of style when government is conducted on sales...
...long as volunteers remain sufficient to maintain the strength of the Army there will be no calls for induction," Royal said. Under the Draft Act the Army must try to meet its requirements through voluntary enlistments; if it fails to do this, it may make up the difference by draftees...
