RV RABBI DAVID MAX ElCHHORN, I'D. OF Tallahassee
Editors note: With the disturbed conditions that
are existing in Europe we Americans a r now
faced with problem that must be carefully considered
Memories of the World still fresh in minds
We now facing greater problem than con-
frOnted in 1917, but it must be solved The following
article prepared by eminent divine, covers pres
ent problems thoroughly and is worthy of much
sderatiOn.)
These are the words of HilleI Jewish sage who lived
in the first century @: the Christian I'm place where
there are no men, strive thou to be man."
America stands today at crossroad of destiny crisis
in it's history and in the history OF the world In the
world round about there is weird collection OF pseudo
heroes and pseudo mounting phrases about
honor and Justice aid virtue but bearing their hearts only
feelings of selfaggrandizement and lfgorification
talking about democracy and freedom and seltdeter
mnatOn but harbOrng in their souls only the most selfish
and sordd Of human mOtivatiOns.
We are at the brink of worldly catastrophe, mighty
conflict which will be Outwardy struggle between the
SOaed demOcracieS and the SO-caled relationships ana
which, inwardly will be struggle between two powerful
groups for world domination. To put succntly it
will be combat between the European and Aslatc haVes

In the midst of this ferment of conflicting forces this
boiling kettle of human emotions and nhuman amDltlOnS

knows not what to do which way to turn.

Are men who have served one or
more enlistments in the Navy or
Marine Corps subject to call for an
other year in the Army through the
Conscription Act?
Officially, yes. Actually, local
boards will attempt to defer from
service under the draft all men who
have served one or more enlistments
with the Navy or Marine Corps I'M
less they are needed in an emer-
gency in the service where they were
trained. The Navy and Marine
Corps are not expected to receive
conscripts for some time because of
a lack of training facilities.
An official OF the Joint Army and
Navy Selective Service Committee
who furnished the answer, pointed
out that veterans of the Navy or
Marine Corps were eligible to sign
up with any of the several reserve
groups and thus be exempt from
registration. BY becoming a mem

Marine veterans would be assured
of returning to duty in the service
where they were trained. There are
several types of reserves, many of
which require no drills but pay
about $40 year. The reservists' only
liability is in event of war or when
an emergency is declared by Con-
greSs.

and 8 pm. on october Is, 1910, at
the registration places which have
been, or may hereafter be, desig-
mated by the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia.
I'VE urge every person subject to
registration to familiarize himself
with the rules and regulations gov
erning registration and to comply
herewith.
I'VE urge all employers to give
those under their charge sufficient
time of in which to fulfill the obli-
cation of registration incumbent
upon them under the Selective
Training and Service Act of 1910.
In witness whereof we have here
unto set our hands and caused the
seal of the District of Columbia to
be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington
this 10Th day Of September, 1910.
Extreme Care in Selection.
The draft board areas announced
yesterday will handle the registra-
ton of all eligibles in the District
except those in hospitals and cor
regional institutions, or those kept
from the registration places by sick
ness or other causes beyond their
control. Other means will be pro-
vided for such registrations.
Officials have emphasized that
extreme care is being taken in the
selection of draft board members as
the complete selective service respon-
sibility for the various areas will be
in their hands. Theirs will be the
task of determining who of the reg
istrants will be called to service and
who deferred.
Insofar as possible, membership
of the boards will consist of promi-
nent leaders in the respective COM
mnities, ana many Of the choices
are being based on recommendations
of civic, religious and patriotic or
carnations, which have volunteered
by the score to assist in any way in
carrying out the draft program.

men whose classification status
changes after registration.
There is little possibility that more
than a few men over that age will
be ordered to camps for one year OF
military duty, since Army and Navy
officials consider them past their
physical prime.
1t should be remembered that the
quota of draftees in each community
is very small by comparison to the
World War draft when men between

DE AN PICKENS ANNOUNCES
SUPPORT OF WILLKIE

Dean William Pickens, of the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
awaited Wendell WILKES Ac-
ceptance Speech before declar-
ing his choice between him and
President Franklin Roosevelt
for the term beginning Janu-
airy 20, 1941.
In a letter addressed to Thos
E. Dewey, District Attorney of
New York, Dean Pickens wrote:
Just this minute / have
finished going through Wendell
WILKES Speech of Acceptance,
which he delivered at Elwood.
Like millions of others |
feel that he is a great American.
He did not play politics with
National Defense and with our.
plain relationship to the Eu-
ropean nations engaged in this
war. There is no narrow partisan
ism in him-judging by this
speech.
Il am proud of him, and will
support his candidacy for the
Presidency of the United States.
Dean Pickens left New York
last week for an automobile
trip to the midwest as far asI

''In short we are not leaving
Mr.. Roosevelt; he has left us. In
view of the courageous and all

last Saturday the Pittsburgh
Courier states boldly that 1t

The AfrO-American Speaks
The Afro-American in its.
desertion also reviews the Will
kie acceptance speech. 1t said:
You cannot read Wendell l..
Willkie's speech accepting the
Republican nomination for the
Presidency without thrilling to
the challenge he offers.
THE real challenge of Will
kie's address was an invitation
to the nation to follow him
down what he calls a road of
sacrifice and service" and
what Winston Churchill termed
toll and sweat You can not
buy freedom-you must make it
Only productive people can be
strong and only the the strong
can be free.
"Willkic says we have spent
sixty billion dollars in eight
years and have not put the PEG
pie back to work. Willkie
charges Roosevelt with soak
ing the rich to help the poor
dividing what we havc) in
stead of trying to produce more
money for everybody.
HE asks, regarding the peo-
pie who are onrelicf, has the
