In the minds Of the citizens OF II tie
mocracy the idea that service Is que
to the government from every one
must be firmly implanted or the en-
franchised cease to be representative
of such government.
The selective draft answers the pur-
nose of this service. from a military
sta dpoint, during the war we are ut
pra Rent engaged in, but largely be-
cause of the fact that we have time to
prepare while our allies combat tie
enemy. We must look to the future
and the possibilities Of war declared
upon us when we will have no ally.
should this occur selective cOnscrip-
ton would be of no avail. Accepting
the fact that the citizen OF democ-
racy owes his service to the govern
ment, is it not logical that we should
organize this service, which shall be
trained and equipped for an emergen-
CIV and able to act Immediately as a
perfect machine when the necessity
arises? Few citizens but believe that
universal military training Is aDsoiute-
" necessary to the future safety OF
this country and that this system
should be adopted by the government
at the first Opportune moment.
The speeding up Of our plans to win
this war should in no way be inter-
fered with, and future policies must
be held in check that they may not in
terfere with the winning OF this war.
But when our legislators feel thst the
speeding up Of the war is accomplish
ed bill should be passed creating a
system Of universal military training
and service which will amply provide
for our country's defense in the flu
ture. thereby assuring us against the
disaster of an attack which would find
us rEprerared and completely at the
.rercy Of an organized foe.
