Notes From a
Broadcasters Diary

The following two viewpoints re-
ceived recently are interesting. Here
is the first:
Neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude except as punishment for
crime whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted shall exist with
in the United States or any place
subject to their jurisdiction. from
the Constitution Of the United States.
The President swore to uphold the
Constitution-the national service
act or the labor draft is involuntary
servitude or human slavery. That's
what he called it in Berlin and Tokyo
and he wants it here. What are we
fighting for?
And now for the second viewpoint!
General Eisenhower said we can
win the war in 1914 but everyone
must do his part.
Something must be wrong some
where for him to say that. He knows
it is not the armed forces. So il
must be on the home front. For the
armed forces operate on a function
al alignment-from commanding Of
hcer down. orders are given and
obeyed. Servicemen cannot bargain
with their commanders as to wages,
hours, fighting conditions or make
contracts on a cost-plus basis. Their
objective is to win battles.
But on the home front, the objec-
tive is TO make money (see Truman
Report. Ships, planes, tanks and
guns are secondary.
We can have a functional opera.
ton at home by installing total con-
scription Of men, machines, materi.
al and money.
These boys we're conscripted TO
die. Then why not conscript the
ones at home? II it's good enough
for the armed forces. it's good
enough for the rest Of US. ~
Who can say he is entitled to
more?
