posals raised is that now brought straight
TO the front by the Army. and Navy
Journal, which in its current number says
fatty, 1.-THE time has come for the Ameri-
can people to adopt as fixed policy the
principle of universal military training"
The Journal describes our efforts up to
now as follows: I'VE have been putting
a toe into the water, and now that the
rushing river threatens to swamp our
banks, we are Shivering and preparing to
stick one leg into it. Apparently, we are
never willing to learn the lesson of eff
cient and sufficient defense except at a
sickening cost in blood and treasure" So
the service paper recommends stripping
and plunging into the preparedness pro-
gram whole-hog.
This proposal is revolutionary, and
contrary to every tradition and precedent
of American history. We have always
avoided like the plague any suggestion of
a large standing army, and any sugges-
ton of compulsory service in peace time,
though both in the Civil War and the
World War we turned to compulsory
service. In the World War it was imme-
diately adopted as the only equitable and
effective way to face the situation.
More will be heard of this proposal. If
any such plan is ever placed in effect it
must come as the conscious will and de-
cision of the American people. 1t is not
too soon to begin considering whether or
not today's world demands that we come
at last to the European system Of univer-
sal militarization.

Shall All Serve?

Now that all have agreed on vastly
increased armament program, shall all
serve equally to bring It into being? Shall
the workman who is asked to work longer
hours be balanced by the employer who
is asked to accept shorter profits? Shall
the young man who is asked to give his
life be balanced by the older man who is
asked to give his money? Shall the arms
burden, in short, designed to protect all,
be carried by all in proportion and in
manner called for by ability? That would
seem, in principle, to be the democratic
way.
And If it is decided that a far greater
number of citizens must become skilled in
military matters, how shall those citizens
be chosen? Shall they be volunteers, shall
they be economic classes las in the CCC
propcsals), shall they be college youths,
II shall they be vast and automatic
:l'oss-section of the whole people? These
questions are all going to come TO the
me with increasing insistence as the

really.

The United States is not in the war.
But in the first three months of this year

Curb Room Wanted

The desire of police authorities in most
large communities these days is to put
curb on all-night parking, particularly
along those thoroughfares that are one
way or so narrow that travel is often
impeded by a parked vehicle. But that
isn't the only reason why theoretically
all-night or all-day parking is objection
able. There are such hazards as OBJ
struction of firemen and fire engines.
That's one of the most serious complaints
against the parked vehicle in the street
during the night hours. They can't
always be removed in hurry because
owners usually lock them up tight.
But the problem of regulating against
such liberties as these which most motor
lists accept today as granted under the
Constitution is difficult one to solve.
There either must be law against 1t or
else it must be overlooked. There can't
be sporadic efforts to prevent all-night
parking, because that would result IN
charge of discrimination. And II one Sec
ton of the city is selected, there Is bound
to be a complaint that another section
should be governed by the same rules.
We sympathize with officials in their
efforts to regulate night parking, but at
the same time you've got to admit that
until an actual nuisance case has been
proved against them owners can probably
yet away legally with leaving their auto
