THE NATIONS DEFENSE

Nothing has been made palmer IN
the history OF Americas wars that the
volunteer system OF raising armies not
only Is inadequate from a military
standpoint. but is unjust and undemo-
cratic IN its operations upon our own
people The obligations OF citizenship
should be equal and universal in a
democracy, and the greatest OF those
obligations and the one, above all 9th
ers. that should rest equally upon all
is The obligation OF military service
to defend America with life and prop
ertyy against all enemies.
But that obligation is not met with
equality or justice under system
which allows the willing and the patri-
otic TO assume the burden for all. No
sensible American will say. upon TO
Election. that the defense OF his coun-
try should be left as voluntary ohli-
cation to those who are willing 10 uu
dertake it and that those who are not
willing should be exempt The mere
stating OF the proposition shocks all
sense OF justice.
There is, OF course. only one just and
equal system OF national defense and
that Is one that. In some form, exacts
an equal duty from every citizen It
is amazing that the worlds greatest
democracy should be the last country
to recognize that principle, but it is
squarely UP to America now and must
be recognized II the present and future
crises are TO be met without national
disaster and humiliation. The volun-
tary system mast be swept away and
