fAv0Rs MILITARY TRAINING,
Cardinal Gibbons Believes It Will
Make fer Peace Rather Than War

In a recent letter to the Association
for National Service. Cardinal Gibbons
declared in favor of national military
training. expressing his belief that such
service will make for peace rather than
for war.
He says the habit of early rising and
retiring. the taking Of simple, nour-
ishing food and the daily outdoor life
cannot fail to benefit the country's
manhood. The mingling of the sons of
the rich and poor. the American with
the foreigner, cannot fail to create a
spirit of healthful fraternity, he said.
Finally. he advocates the advantages
to be had from obedience to lawful
authority and the security insured the
nation with the knowledge that it is
prepared for defense. The few years
our youth spend in military training,
he points out, will not indefinitely with
draw them from the active and pacific
pursuits of life.
