EXTENDING THE DRAFT

Now that President Roosevelt has given green
light to the step which the Army hos been demanding
majority leaders in Congress free to consider low
erine the droft oee to q years.
The Army has asked for the Is and l9-yeor-old-
sers because they make the best soldiers, and in this
war we need the best soldiers. Nobody who has
served in the armed forces in wartime, who has
been in position to observe closely, question thot
the younger men are superior in every way, except
in thot judgment which comes only through expert
enee and long training.
We have millions Of older men in uniform among
whom there is abundant material for leadership. Now
we need men who can fight.
But the President brought out another angle which
Is at Ieost equally vto to those who American
troops in oction in World War J..
GOOD training will save many, many lives in
battle. The highest rote Of casualties is always suf-
fered by units comprised Of inodequotely trained
men,"
Nobody who reoIizes what we are up against
In this war has any doubt that the younger men
must be called into service. We face the choice.
Shall we coll them now, while there is still time to
troin them in the use Of their weapons, and give
them chance to fight for their lives or shall we
droft them at the Lost minute. send them directly
/.
re We ore not unaware how the parents Of such
ods feel at time like this Neither is the President.
One Of the rare notes of emotion broke through his
elaborate eIocuton when he said:
II can very thoroughly understand the feeling
Of all parents whose sons have entered armed
forces. have appreciation Of that feeIing-ond
so has my wife"
Indeed they have, With four sons Of their own
in the ormed forces, at least Of whom has por-
tieipoted in major engagement.
But Mr. Roosevelt feels, and we believe that
most parents will oeree with him and with u.s. that the
issues are too grave to permit personal reluctance
to enter into this picture.
The United Stotes needs these boys Democracy
needs these boys. They would be far, far better
alternative to winning this war.

school authorities wish to take this
opportunity to express their appre-

given by everyone in this patriotic

transport facilities in the form of
