Draft Questions Answered

HoU calls for men TO be in
Quoted into the armed forces are
made and filled under the Selec-
tipe SerDtce System, NTH pdrtic-
uidr reference to the induction of
JGtherS, is explained in the tol-
loDing series OF questions and
dnS10erS issued by the War Man
potcer Commission today:
@, Will any fathers be drafted
in October?
A. If fathers are needed to fill
the October call made on selective
service by the armed forces, the
number required will be drafted,
However, local boards will not call
fathers with children born before
September Is, 1912, other than
those who are nondeferrable, ex-
cept to fill monthly call that can
not be filled from men, other than
fathers, who are not occupationally
or otherwise deferred.
@. Could the War Manpower
Commission or the Selective Service
System reduce the proposed net war
strength of the armed forces and
thereby postpone the drafting of
fathers?
Commander in Chief Determines.
A. No. The total net strength
for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps
and Coast Guard is determined by
the Commander in Chief and au-
thorized by Congress on the plans
and specifications presented by the
War Department and the Navy De-
partment.
@. Why does not selective service
decrease the monthly quotas of men
sent to the armed forces so as to
postpone drafting fathers2
A. Selective service, under the
law, acts merely as a procurement
agency for the armed forces to fill
their calls for men in the numbers
they demand at any one time and
according to their specifications as
to physical, mental and moral
standards.
@. But, do not the Army and
Navy base their monthly calls on
advice from selective service as to
how many class IA men are ready
for delivery?
A. No. just the reverse. The
Army and the Navy tell selective
service how many men they will
need each month and it is selective
services job to fill the requisition.
@. Why can't all single men be
taken before any fathers are
drafted?
A, All available physically fit
single men are being called first
except those who are deferred in
vital war activities. The latter can
not be taken without disrupting the
entire war program until they are
replaced in their civilian work by
fathers or other persons not eligible
for military service.
Services Set Physical Standards.
@. Why not lower the physical
standards for full military service or
call larger numbers of substandard
single men for limited service?
A. Each branch of the armed
forces sets its own physical stand
ards and may and does reject men
called for induction who do not con-
form to them. The Army is accept
ing men qualified for limited serv-
ice up to per cent of the Army call.
The Navy does not accept limited
Servicemen.
