MEN WITH DEPENDENTS


The enormous demands upon this

TO foce with the necessity for re-exor-
ininq the philosophy underlying Selec-
tive Service.
Up to now, it has been possible to
DULL numbers out of fishbowl, match
them up with men. grant determents
according to brood and none too deti-
niteIy stoted principles, and get all the
soldiers we need without seriously dis
rupting the home economy.
But the Army, some time this year,
will poss the hiehwoter mark set in the
first World War. Simultaneously war
Industries need millions more men to
produce armament, munitions, and the
other porophernoIo Of fighting.
There are only about Is million
men in the country between the oges
OF l8 and as. Unless the axis can be
beoten sooner than seems possible, we
toIk about putting o million men into
uniform.
We may have to toke two out Of
every five American men in the prime
Of life, in such way as not to destroy
the industrial setup without which
those 10 millions would become de-
fenseIess fodder for axis shells and
bombs.
We want to take them, as we'll as
we con, 80 as toto u minimum Of dam
oge to fomiIy ties and to create mini
mum Of hordship to actual dependents.
But we cont get 10 million men Of
fighting age without dipping heavily
into the ranks Of those who have legiti-
mate dependents.
Thot, of course, is why Congress
provided higher salaries and depend
ency grotuites for those called into
service.
But this will hot prove sufficient
unless SeIective Service adopts - as
runnor soys it wiIl-some scheme SINH
lar to that embodied in the loft reso-
luton approved by the Senote.
& This urges that local droft boards
divide Class TIT reeistronts into four
clossifcotions A fifth is implicit in the
situation.
First, some 100000 men whose
dependents ore parents, brothers and
sisters.
Second, about 100000 married
men who have no children.
Third, around 2,O5O, 600 husbands,
under 30, with dependent children.
Fourth, the | 100000 older mar
ried men With dependent children.
And fnolly, the men from each Of
these clossificotions who would be de-
ferred to the Lost because they ore en-
so9ed in genuine war production where
they could not be replaced without
injury to the industrial program.
Properly, Congress has not forced
SeIective Service to follow detailed in
structions. But these proposals seem
so completely logical and humane that
we believe General Hershey's orgonizo-
tion must give them serious considero-
ton.

Conditions, of course, have chang
ed. War always causes financial cou-
ton to be thrown to the winds. In the
present case we rightly feel it is better to
risk bankruptcy than defect; for defect
would be bankruptcy both physical and
moral.
But America does not contemplate
losing. 1t is in the war to win not for
itself alone but for the freedom of man.
kind To accomplish this, the energies
of the United Stotes and the United Ma
tions must be exerted where they will
have maximum effect.
To this end it is Appropriate that at
Just this time the House Military A.
foirs Committee brings out report
criticizing the method Of many War
Department expenditures. Such criti-
cism does not mean necessarily that
there should be less spending but that
there should be more effective spend
ing.
Americans too easily assume that
merely to pour out money will win the
war; A war is not won by opproprio-
ton bills or contracts or even by pro-
duotion alone. Military effectiveness
is q matter Of getting the right equip
ment at the right time in necessary
volume and then Of getting it used at
the right place and With the necessary
vieor
Aside from their patriotic content
these goods and services all are paid for
in terms Of money. But merely shovel
ing out money does not guarantee the
goods and services will be delivered.
Patriotism, honesty, and good judy
ment must help in thot.
This is the more eIpfuI aspect Of
the criticism the Military Affairs Conn.,
mittee has offered, though the report is
backed by members not conspicuous
for contributing to Defense The ex-
ompes Of waste and inefficiency which
it cites do not represent effective oppl-
cotton Of money to the war effort
Many accounts are current in business
circles Of unnecessarily huge orders be-
ing placed for merely incidental mater.
iols
1t should not be inferred thot ex-
troyooonce ohorocterzes the war pro-
gram. The abuses are excrescences on
major body Of weII-conducted mill
tory business. But every bit Of waste
or mistaken expenditure not only adds
to the bill American taxpayers eventu-
oily will have to meet but diverts into
useless channels important energies Of
which every ounce ought to be exerted
on the enemy.
ScrupuIous and continuous care to
see that every dollar spent pulls it's
weight in orning and in battle may be
worth several divisions Of men and it
will make every billion Of appropriations

phatic notice today that the horse
they probably will have 10 beat is
Alsab, the colt that many thought
a few months ago was about

yesterday by running a mile in
SO 1-5, the fastest time for the
distance registered at Washington
Park this year, while rornping to
half length victory over Kings
Abbey in the $1,000 added Dick
Welles Handicap.
Alsab, ridden by George Wooff,
carried top weight of 128 pounds
and numbered among his victims
With Regards, which finished
fourth, and Aletern, which wound
up fifth. Some Man, carrying only
100 pounds, was third. and Bay
ride, also with 100 pounds, last in
the field OF six.
The large crowd made Alsab
the odds-on choice and he paid
$500 for a win ticket in the mu-
fuels. Word from the east was
that Shut out, twice the con-
queror Of Alsab, would be shipped
10 Chicago early next week. He
will be ridden by Eddie Arcaro.
