The Political Mill
Representative Wodsworth Seeks to Draft Bill
Now for Universal Mtory Troinno

surest insurance for peace. The
second reason is for the improve
ment OF American youth itself.
The by-products of military train
ing are strong bodies, discipline
and self-reliance.
Mr.. Wadsworth believes that
the physical requirements for
military training should not be
made too stringent. He feels
that many young men, not in
particularly good physical condi-
ton, if given a year in a mill
tary camp could be so strength
ened it would make better citizens
Of them.
Until the war is over 1t will
be impossible to say what the
size Of the Regular Army Of this
country should be. Two things
can be done IN a legislative way
at this time, however. One is
the adoption of a system Of mill
itary training. The other is to
provide specifically for the place
which the National Guard is to
play in the postwar military
setup.
Millions Of Reservists Needed.
At all times, in the opinion Of
Mr.. Wadsworth, the Regular
Army units should be kept at full
war strength. The National
Guard, also, should be recruited
up to full strength. And all Re-
servists, of whom there will be
millions, should be placed in Or
ganized units and called on to
take part in maneuvers. Some
Reservists could be placed in Ma
tional Guard units in the locau-
ties in which they reside.
After the last war appropria-
tions for the Army were not kept
up. The Army was forced to
skeletonize units or to close them
out and place some men in other
units.
At the time the National Guard
was called into service for the
present war many units were re-
cruited only to so per cent Of full
strength. During the Coolidge
and Hoover administrations it
was like pulling teeth to get ap-
propriations for the military es-
tablishment. Little change in
this respect occurred until well
along In the Roosevelt admins
tration.
Congress and the country have
an opportunity to estimate more
clearly the value Of universal
military training now than they
will have after the close Of hos
tilities. For that reason the
sooner the Military Affairs Com
mittees of both House and Sem
ate get down to this business the
better.
Only q few months before the
present Draft Act became law,
leading members Of those COM
mittees scoded at the idea Of
universal military training or
selective service. Fortunately
for this country. under the per-
sistent efforts Of Mr.. Wadsworth
and others interested. the bill
was put through.
