A
measure
of

reaching
importance
has
just
been
passed
in

The
council
of
minister
has
approved
a
bill
providing
for
Ihe
mobilization
of
the
nation
in
J.ime
of
w'ar.
The
bill
establishes
rules
whereby
the
peace
organization
nni.st
be
traiilerred
to
a
war
basis
and
its
scope
includes
all
national
arlivities
including
agriculture,
industry',
finance
and
labor.
One
of
the
complaints
here
as
in

countries

was
that

was
