Beating the Gun
These Days BY S.s sE2 5i. e. s0f05skT

There are two schools OF thought
on the future OF this country and
one OF them is getting all the pub
LEFTY. That school believes that
Congress should sew up by legis.
lation all the proposals for the post
war America now, before the
American people change their
minds, they have means not only
10 force Congress but even the
President To obey their will.
One OF the master ideas that is
rushing like a geyser these days is
one-year compulsory military SER
vice. The idea is that boys at IS
are TO be taken out of school and
are 10 be drilled for a year in the
art OF soldering; then they are 10
go back to school. The point about
doing II now is that this country IL
in a war atmosphere; exactly that
has happened 10 millions OF our
boys and therefore why not TO 9th
err millions OF forthcoming genera
tons? Those who favor the pro-
iect fear that when the war is
over, this country might get peace
minded, might even say, ITO hell
with war" and might therefore OPP
pose any such bill. OF course, IL
the American people ever get to
feeling and thinking that way, Con-
gress will abolish anything that
Congress passes today.
The clear fact in this war Is that
most OF the countries which en-
ployed the device of compulsory
military service are being defeated.
The exception TO that is Soviet Rus
sia which is victorious as result
Of British fortitude after bunker
que and the productivity OF Ameri-
can industry plus Russian strength.
Germany. Italy, Japan and the Ger.
man satellite countries all utilized
compulsory military services
tablishing themselves as militaris-
tic nations with a militaristic caste
and getting themselves defeated
by peace-minded, peace-loving coun-
tries that had to prepare and train
and provision their armies while
hghting was actually going on.
From a military standpoint. the
experience Of the United States and
Great Britain is probably short OF
the best scientific attitude: yet
from a political and social stand
point, those countries have avoided
the worst evils OF huge military
establishment in peace.time, and
the employment OF the armed
forces for political purposes
through the Vaccinations OF a
permanent military caste. II Is
beneficial to the United States that
in time OF peace. our admirals and
generals devote themselves to pa
per.work and tea parties. In spite
OF a quarter OF century 81 such
activities, Macarthur. Bradley and
Patton are showing the Germans,
Italians and Japanese exactly what
a citizens quickly modified army
can do-and Montgomery has been
showing that TO the best the Ger
mans could produce throughout this
war.
From that standpoint this dues-
ton ought to be studied and there
need be no hurry about IT, Lots
of IS year olds will be drafted be-
fore the war is finally ended and
there seems to be NJ need for any
rush-order decisions as to the fu-
ture.
