We Can't Let George DO 1t
The principle OF universal mill
tary ualnin& has been kicked
about in our public life since it
lirst got public attention i'll the
words of George Washington. 1t
has been advocated in our genera
tiOu by the most artiCulate voice of
the veterans OF our first World
War The American Legion.
1t has been postponed at the be-
hest OF pressure groups time after
time. Never has il been fortunate
enough to receive an honest and
considered htarin2. Tie idea of
universal military training has
been held up to caustic ridicule.
Always, in each OF our wars, there
has resulted higher rate OF pro-
ductiUn of Gold Star mothers
caused hy our failure To enact this
principle into law in time OF peace
Mistakenly it is argued that as
sOciatiOn of a potential Gil Joe
with men of the type OF Mac
Arthur. Eisenhower, Halsey. Nj
n.itZ. and others of comparable
rank would be harmful to their
future 1t is absurd to consider
that men OF such leadership cali
ber, typical products OF American
military life. would do anything to
wreck the future OF any young
American
Why. then, do we shudder at the
thought of accepting military
training in times OF peace? Why
are important sc9ments Of Oul
people driven TO cry out that al
will be lost if young America is
entrusted, for the &oou of the Ma
tion. to such tutelage, for a briet
period III their youth"
