The Draft Is Constitutional

W/HlLE it was to have been expected the
w action OF the United States Supreme
Court in declaring the selcctivc draft act
OF the last Congress Il constitutional meas
ure, nevertheless. was reassuring decision
in that ii brings TO an end all uncertainty
as to legality of law upon which Americas
whole war structure is based 1t is difficult
TO contemplate what state of confusion
not to say chaos-would have resulted if the
court had decreed differently.
This country projected it's whole war pro-
gram upon the theory OF universal liability
to military service True, an army of more
than 100000 men has been raised by the
volunteer system, but the limit to the num-
per OF volunteers who might be relied upon
lor service was definitely fixed and il the
government had been unable to call to its
standard the men who now compose tho Ma
tlonal Army. this country could not have
thrown the full weight of its resources into
the war.
III Is fortunate circumstance that the
oplnion OF the Supreme Court has been
hahdcd down at a time when the whole coun-
try is applaudng the success OF the draft
system as it has been put into operation No
longer is this plan experiment No longer
Is It's effectiveness Il matter OF doubt No
longer do men called 10 the colors feel that
they have been stigmatized. The experience
ment Of the new army, removed as i, has
been from scandal. from politics. from organ
1Zcd resistance, shows the wisdom of the adj
rmaa,stra''o" IN proposing it as vitgP war
Another fortunate circumstances about tho
situation is the fact that the only people who
contested the constitutionality of the law
were either confessed .sla ckcrs and towards
or else disloyal pactists who have opposed
every move made ny their government to
prepare itself for self-dcfeuse No 100 per
cent Americnn Joined in tho court attempt
TO lnvalidafe the draft system. No organiza-
ton OF loyal citizens lent itself TO the pro-
ceeling. The only opposition came from
group OF people who do no deserve to be
rated as citizens Of the United States.
The fact might be noted in this connec-
ton, too. that the people, many OF them
patriotic to the core, who led the fight in
the early days of the war for the volunteer
system of raising armies are not only recon-
cied to the draft as it has been tried out
but are its enthusiastic supporters This is
shown by repeated public declarations OF
those who have recently given their hearty
approval to the plan. The virtue OF this
change of heart is the fact that it has re-
lieved the minds OF many drafted men of the
idea that they were being compelled TO do
their duty. an .dca encouraged in tho begin
ming by the opposition in Congress to the
dIhft program.
