With war flaring every continent of the world

escape involvement future invasion by building
superior force manned by trained men that
queror of Europe would hesitate to face.
We know machinery plays the dominating part in
modern warfare. Training to operate machin
not only takes time, it also requires definite indi-
vidual characteristics. We know that many who desire
to fly must be rejected because of lack of dexterit
or ability to suffer high attitudes and numerous
other requirements. To lesser degree this applies
to all machines when the hi CHEST efficiency is not
only desirable but imperative to the security
country. We should not expect government to
spend billions machines and then train to
operate them by hit miss method. If defense Is
imperative and think most of agree that it is

also the best to operate them.

TOWN LEADERS

One of the most ST significant questions facing the
American people today the problem of scription.
The recently introduced Burke-Wadsworth act pro-
viding for registration, and compulsory military
training of a large segment of the population is
being swiftly pushed through Congressional hearings
and is scheduled for early action. Already much
argument both TO and against the bill has developed.
The rapidity wi tn Which this important legislation
is being rushed through Congress is alarming.
The need for adequate national defense cannot be
questioned. However, any legislation wtdchdhpa
widely from the traditional American policy of
naturalization and anti-peace-time CONSUMPTION,
should be very carefully considered before it. is
acted.
Every single family in the United States will be
personally and most vitality affected It is there
fore imperative that, in accordance with the demo-
cratic principles of form Of government, the
vast Of the people carefully examine all the
social economic and political Implications Of the
bill and decide whether not they desire it to be
a Law Of the land. Their decision then, to be eff
fective, should be made known to their representa-
tives in Congress whose function it is to translate
the will of the majority into action.
It is in the hope of stimulating interest and
ment this all-important legislation that the Co
operator has sought the views of several Greenbelt
citizens, which appear in this issue.

PROPOSED
WEIGH

The fact that the present situ alton is grave
enough to justify consi deration of the
pu1sory military conscription of of our tizs
is ample jus Hcation for Mrs. Roosevelt's conten-
ton that every citizen should enlist in the
ilitary defense programby taking active steps
to assist in blotting out social injustices in our
country. For to the unemployed, to the ill-housei
to the tenant farmer, to those suffering under
in our country democracy may be meaningless or
even odious institution. Yet fundamental to the eff
fective defense of democracy, against internal
or external depreciation, is universal belief among
citizens that the democratic way is our way and
is worthy of our devotion and lives.
