CONFUSION AGAIN

D erhaps it is merely coinsdental, and perhaps I unavoidable, but there has been revlvai of the uncertainty, doubt and confusion over Sel- ective Service plans since approval of the act rees tablshing General Lewis B. Hershey as chlet ar biter of the nations manpower controls
 The new act, of course, created many mls- conceptions Some regarded 1t as flat assur- ance that pre-Pearl Harbor fathers will not be drafted At best, it will merely delay the induc ton of those in nondeferrabe occupations.
 If we may tender suggestion to General Her shey in the kindest of spirits, il is that he refrain es much as possible from public statements and eexplanations" regarding Selectve Service plans pnd regulations. Once that we know ot, since presidential approval of the new act, statement of his has been the subject of widespread misin- terpretation-his comment on defernent by age groups.
 r General Hershey also has indicated that many hnore 'inductees may be found inthe group now classified 4F, which he calls "a rich field" We fear that he may be creating another misconcep- lion here Men examined for service and classi- tied AZ are, in instances where there may be i'm provement in their physical status, re-examined periodically
 The only way in Which any considerable num- Der of inductees could be secured from among the ranks of 4-Fs; would be to lower the Army and Navy physical standards appreciably In the long run, this might prove to be an expensive undertak- ing More to the point however, il would De in direct contradiction of the Army policy in which all re-examined in recent months and those not qualified for unlimited service were dis charged-after considerable amount of money had been spent for their training. Thers were al least million men thus. released from the Army If physical standards lowered for the induction of more men from 4-F, would the greater part of these men De called back into the Army again?

our relations with the only French
authority should be so bad that
many Fighting Frenchmen believe
the President wishes to keep
France weak for unworthy reasons
while the White House conducts q
propaganda to suggest that the
Fighting French are sabotaging the
invasion.
Surely there must be some way
of lifting the great matter at stake
to different and higher level and
of rising above this personal feud
to statementlike treatment of the
problem. How this is to be done it
is hard to say. 1t is one of the deep
vices Of personal government that
when a great issue becomes q
personal matter evidence, reason,
persuasion, compromise common
sense have to contend against pride
and prejudice. !
Not since Woodrow Wilson was
immured in the White House and
rejected or refused to hear the
counsel of his advisers and thus
wrecked the League and the settle
ment because he would not give
way ut all has there been condi-
tion at all similar in character to
that in which our French policy
has been begged down these many
months.
