age each year, this means that be- fore the present selective service law expires, the President can add about 5,000,000 men to the pool, if it is found necessary.
 The 400, 0,000 draftees will be divid- ed among 48 states and distributed among the cities and countries, so the number of draftees from any one community will be pretty small. The local draft boards won't have the pressure to produce great num- bers, as was the case in the World War.
 GIVEN WIDE
 LATITUDE
 Tn fact, the local draft boards will be encouraged to make the Selective draft very Selective.
 They will have wide latitude In choosing men. They will be en- couraged to distribute the selec- tion of draftees so as to upset the life of the community as little as possible.
 Not only has President Roose- welt urged this, but all the tops in the draft machine emphasize il in every conference they hold and in every piece of informative lit- erature they send otlk>
 The local boards will be made to feel that the success of the draft and it's favor with the public will depend entirely upon the humane ness of its administration and it' absolute fairness to all, without fear or favor.

in spite of the fact that in one aspect-that of a m a n's responsi- b ility for de- pendent wives or r e l a t i V es- the present law seems to be n arr over and more strict than the wartime law.
 One reason for the more liberal attitude this time is that the United States is at peace and not in a war .
