Information
Concerning
Registrars

Information concerning Selective
Service registrants, except that spec
fically defined by Regulations as con-
fidential, is a matter of public re-
cord, 1t. Col. Henry c. Stanwood,
State Director of Selective Service,
pointed out.
Non-confidential data, he declared,
is available to anyone making le-
gitimate inquiry provided its produc-
ton or dissemination does not inter-
fere with the orderly functioning of
the Selective Service System.
All Selective Service boards in the
State are expected to conform to this
policy, the Director, quoting from Sc
lective Service Regulations defining
confidential and non-confidential data
concerning registrants and dissemina-
ton of the latter as follows:
Gall records pertaining to the ply
steal condition of a registrant, and
all answers on the QUESTIONABLE I'M
der the subject Dependency, except
names and addresses of claimed de-
pendents, and to the questions on
previous military service, shall be
confidential and shall not be disclos-
ed without the consent of the regis
trant, except as otherwise provided.
The fact that a claim for deferment
has been made on grounds of depen-
dency or physical unfitness, and the
classification of the registrant, are
not confidential.
without limiting any other rights
he may have, registrant shall be
entitled to know of all entries on his
own record, including his question
naire and record of physical exami-
nation. He shall be further entitled
to know of all statements and ale
cations which form part of his re-
cord"
The Regulations further limit in
spection of confidential records to
Selective Service officials, who have
to deal with classification of particu-
lar registrants, and United States at
torneys and their duly authorized rep
resentative or other duly authorized
officials. Confidential records may
be produced in courts in response to
subpoenas or summons, without the
consent of the registrant only in
cases involving his prosecution or of
persons in collision with the regis
trants or in behalf of the Govern
ment in suits or claims against it
"arising out of the executive acts in
the performance of which such re-
cords were compiled"
Insofar as non-confidential infor-
nation is concerned, the Regulations
state:
Cali other records shall be avail
able for public information, provided
inquiries do not interfere with the
dispatch of business.
Neither registrant nor anyone
else, Except authorized officials),
shall be entitled to search or handle
the records. It shall be the duty of
the custodian of the records to read,
and, If necessary, point out the infor-
nation requested"
, Inasmuch as final classification of
registrants who appeal to boards of
appeal are part of their non-confi-
Dental record, information pertaining
to them may be disclosed to the pub
lie, the Director stated. Requests
for such information may be given
out by board clerks, he said, but there
will be no relaxation of the ban on
interfering with normal Selective
Service processes in the issuance of
the requested facts.

It is a good idea to keep pile of
newspapers in some convenient place
near the kitchen. One can use them
to line the garbage pail, to peel vege-
tables upon, and to spread around
when workmen enter the house.

ton, the speaker suggested the
maintenance Of a standing army
composed OF boys from every coun-
try, who would give up their clti-
zenship in the country from whence
they came, and swearing allegiance
only to the federation, become pro-
fessiolal soldiers.
DR.. Enders sale the whole plan
was based on two things: no die
tator will start trouble IL he knows
he does not have a better than
affinity chance OF emerging the
victor: II a dictator would start
trouble, he would Immediately be
Jumped upon.
IF you say IL will not work"
DR.. Enders defended his plan.
Look at the United States. There
are As sovereign nations here.
Michigan. for instance, makes many
OF its own laws, and decides many
OF its taxes. Yet Hitler knows that
II he should try to attack even
one state OF the union, the Taole
United States would come to its
rescue. Hitler is building a to-
talitarian federation OF nations.
The democracies are beginning to
see that they, too, must federate."
DR.. Enders next presented two
questions prominent in America
today. VIII Hitler invade Ameri-
ca? Can Hitler take America? To
the first the speaker answered a
definite no. To the second, he
said yes. Prom a military point
OF view there is no chance for Hit
Ter to actually invade the United
States. To think that he would,
would be a grave mistake. But
there are two ways in which he
can take America" he declared.
One is that II Hitler defeats Eng
land he will bring the monetary
loot here. He will give us cash
for the supplies necessary to the
building up OF his possessions. Az
ter about three years. the business
men and manufacturer of America
will begin to think-why have a
two-ocean navy here? Why have
men in Army training camps?
We need men in the factories, and
steel TO fill orders for Hitler, who
has been friendly. TO US and has
been giving US money. Then, &C.
cording to DR.. Enders, when we
have disarmed enough. Hitler, who
can easily take over South Ameri.
ca, Mexico, and other countries to
the south, will demand materials
and products from US without Civ.
ing US monetary compensation. We
will then be in a position to do
nothing but acquiesce, the speaker
concluded.

Federation of Nations Seen
as Possible Peace Proposal

DR.. Gordon B. Enders advocated
establishment OF a federation IF
all nations as the best means of
securing and keeping peace, when
he spoke before Michigan state
Normal College students at their
general assembly Tuesday in Pease
Auditorium. Or. Enders was born
in Ohio, but grew up in Tibet. He
was an aviator in the World War.
and at one time was advisor TO
the Grand Lama OF Tibet.
Building up to his suggestion for
the insurance OF world peace. the
speaker first described war as he
has seen II in the East and the
present diplomatic set-up in Eu-
rope, and told his audience what
part they will play in future world
affairs. you havo a tremendous
interest in the future. You are 60
ing to be asked to make some de
cision on what kind OF peace this
war-torn Aorld will make" he said.
DR.. Enders told his opinion of the
Russo-Jap pact, pointing out that
while 1t states Japan will not at
tack Russia IL the latter is attack
ed, and vice versa, 1t does not
say what Japan will do il Russia
is the one to attack some country.
Since Mussolini has entered the
war with Germany, Hitler has
been forced to find someone else
among the totalitarians to present
his proposals to the world, DR..
Enders stated He said that Hitler
has chosen Japan's Matsuoka.
Hitler's peace terms. presented
by Matsuoka. are, to DR.. Enders,
fantastic. He believes that these
peace terms say that the world
will be ruled by strength, because
this is a fundamental law of ma
ture, and that only the strong ma
