CREED FOR PATRIOTS
Is SENT BROADCAST
Declares for Military Training for
Ali Young Men in United States.

A Greed of patriotism" Is being sent
broadcast throughout the country by
II. II. Sheets, secretary Of the National
Association for Universal Military
Service. 1t Is planned to stir public
sentiment to force the passage OF uni
versal military training laws By Con-
gress
The creed is declared by Mr.. sheets
to have been signed and adopted by
several hundred thousand men and
women. II follows:
Il believe in Federal legislation
which will place the military policy
OF the country on the basis of a true
democracy. as provided in the Consti-
tuition OF the United States.
Il believe this can be brought about
by making all young men who are
physically and mentally At, liable for
military training between the ages OF
eighteen and twenty-one.
Il believe that such a policy would
produce the force of trained citizen
soldiers necessary to the preservation
OF the nation. and conserve its human
resources so as to reduce the criminal
rate, and produce a higher type OF
manhood.
q believe there is no plan better
calculated to prevent class feeling
than by training and educating poor
and rich alike in the higher duties. Of
citizenship under the same ennobling
and invigorating system,
Il believe that universal military
training will breed the spirit of equal
national service.
IL believe thorough military instruc-
ton will make uood cIffzapz- cIaap
men with strong bodies and alert
minds-and create. through discipline,
higher national efficiency
Il believe IT to be the duty of every
citizen to prepare, through training
for service so as TO secure to America
the strength which arises from in
formed ability. and that measure of
organized force which shall protect
the life and liberty OF the nation"
