CONSUMPTION


It Is q mistake to speak Of the
outpouring Of the young manhood OF
the nation witnessed all over the
country today. as conscription or as
. draft. It is neither. It is cen
sus Of a certain section OF our pop
ulation as basis for mobilizing a
considerable part Of the manhood OF
the nation into certain necessary ac-
tivities, to enable the nation to
prosecute war.
rs has been well said. modern
warfare is one-fourth fighting and
'hree-fourths organization behind
the army. The government has wide
" determined that the comparatively
small percentage Of our young men
who are needed as soldiers are to be
selected from those who can best be
spared from their normal activities.
In past wars in which Americans
engaged an odium attached to con-
Scription. First came calls for vol
unteers. Then. when all had vol
unteered who would, the slackers
were conscripted. drafted" was the
word used in the civil war, but the
meaning is the same. There was no
glory for slackers who were drafted
into war.
Now we are to have selective con-
scfiption for the war. yet no odium
attaches to It.
On the contrary, it is recognized as
the business-like. sensible. as we'll as
thoroughly patriotic performance OF
a nation, striving hard to whip itself
into reasonable efficiency.
We are not to be conscripted by a
despot. We are to be conscripted BY
ourselves. 1t is our own doing. We
are sovereign people, and 1t is our
sovereign will that we employ con.
scription for this war.
Furthermore, we are not TO employ
conscription as a last resort. but as
first resort. We, the freemen, do
not propose to use conscription to
drag unwilling slackers into the war
That thought makes, and ought to
make, big difference to the Ameri-
can mind.
Some of us might fight. Some OF
us might nurse. Some OF US must
work in munition plants. Some of
us must produce food.
Selective conscription will put
fighters in the trenches, nurses in
the hospitals. skilled workers in the
factories, and farmers on the soil.
That's efficiency Thus will the war
be won. i9,
