Byrnes declared today in a’ speech delivered here. He added, though, that such @ government would be under the supervision of the Allies for many years io come. Byrnes advocated that many of the Allied troops in the occupa- tion zones of Germany be with- drawn, and that only a sufficient number be left behind to see that the Germans adhere to the policy set forth by the council of allied nations. Germany should not be broken up into smiall states, Byrnes as-' serted. It should have a national central council or government, similar to that in a democracy,! and the people in the various} provinces should be given a! voice in the election’ of national! officers, such as a president and’ members of a congress or parlia-! ment. He stated that the United: States is against dismembering | Germany, the chief tendency of which would be the weakening of the economy of the Germans} as a nation.

His speech was 5,000 words long. He touched on every ques- tion that would have to do with) a centralizéd nation, and though he was emphatic in stating that, Germany must be punished for | having initiated the war, yet his speech created disapproval in} France and Russia. French leaders were reported, to be furious over Byrne's ree- | ommendations, even though he) advocating giving the Saar Basin | to France. As for Russia, it was said that no representatives from that country were present to hear his | talk, as though they had antici- pated what he would say on the subject, particularly the con- tinuance of Germany as an en-| tity. Germany must not be a “poorhouse,” he .concluded. A few hours before Byrnes spoke, American General Mc-| Narny issued a statement to the | press in which he said that Ger-} many was not prepared, in any circumstance, to organize a cen-| tral or any other kind of gov- ernment; In the 16 months, Mc- Narny declared, since the Allied | occupation of Germany, her peo-! ple have made no political prog- ress whatever.

The state compulsory school Jaw requires that all children who have attained the age of seven years by February 1 of any school year must enter school promptly at the’ opening of school and must attend school pregularly during the entire school year until reaching their sixteenth birthday, Hunter exé plained. The responsibility for this is placed on each parent. If aparent is found negligent or careless in meeting this respon- sibility, he or she or both are subject upon conviction to a fine of $100 or imprisonment for 90 days or both. If the child be- comes an habitual truant or a delinquent, it may be dealt with by the juvenile. court, Hunter asserted. Faculty Of High \ School.
