ground while several soldiers tried to push the machine. They were making no headway and getting liberally spattered when the little general saw some CCC boys near by.
 Give a hand here you CCC's," he ordered. Quite obediently they did.
 Then he saw me.
 "All right, you civilian, give hand here" he commanded. 1 looked at him all spic and span, and never having had any mili- tary training so that I was quite undisciplined. I told him to go to Hell and added that he had bet ter get busy and push his own car or ask for help like a gentle man, instead of ordering a civil Han like a dog.
 It seems to me that the German. Italian and Japanese people have been conquered by the very armies they organized to protect them.
 I believe the only reason Eng land and the United States are free is because we do not allow our military men to become powerful enough to take us over.
 If we must have more military preparation after this war let it be on a voluntary basis as always.
 Or if we do give in and accept conscription, let us provide that not all boys shall be conscripted. Let us leave enough untrained and undisciplined to tell any potential officer caste of men like that general to push their own damn cars.
 We might do this by offering higher education as an alternative to compulsory training. Boys att tending colleges and universities should be excused from service. And this would mean that the gov- ernment should help deserving boys to attend college regardless of their own finances-otherwise
The sub., 1945-02-03

next time-we must have compul- sorry military training in peace time-a year of military life for every able bodied boy will do him good-if we had been pre- pared this war would never have started"
 You hear it everywhere = the natural reaction against the lack of preparation which confronted us at the beginning of the war.
 Still, in the midst of this reac- ton from the 150 year old Ameri- can tradition against peacetime conscription we should not lose sight of certain facts:
 1. Centuries of compulsory mill itary training and what was SUD- posed to be the finest army in Eur ope did not save France from dis aster when her leaders betrayed her and her people lacked the will to fight
 2. Britain, with no prewar con- scription, but with determination to remain free, held off Hitler all alone for many long months.
 3. Germanys officer caste and superbly trained troops brought her four years of misery and death and eventual defeat in the first World War-and the same thing is happening all over again this time.
 Thus compulsory military train- ing in peacetime has betrayed Ger many, it's leading exponent. in two recent wars and France, with the same tradition. has been betrayed by 1t In the present war = nor should we overlook her defeat in
The sub., 1945-02-03

the Franco-Prussian war despite a big military establishment.
 On the other hand, England, with only voluntary service in time of peace, may have lost some skirmisheS, but it cannot be for gotten that she always seems to win the last battle, thanks to de- termination, strategy, diplomacy, superior equipment, or something else.
 So let us hold our hats in the midst of all the reaction from our system of pe&cetime preparation.
 Many of those who advocate conscription after the war appear to feel that teaching every boy military discipline will be one of the principal benefits of such a system.
 Perhaps but let us remember that England and the United States have remained democra- cies for many years and England has been unconquered for almost 1000 years, while countries in which every male citizen is taught to obey orders unquestioningly have been almost continually un- der dictatorships and frequently conquered.
 The perfectly disciplined Ger mans have proven themselves in- capable so far of orderly self gov ernment. Every German male is taught to obey-so taking orders from Kaiser or a Hitler comes natural
 The French, with their Napo- leon, their restoration, their Louis Napoleon, their crazy blood drenched Revolutionary despotism, their stormy republic, and Vichy dictatorship are hardly a shining example of democracy.
 It is no accident that the South American dictators and the dicta- tors of Spain always are generals.
 When the Hitler gang and their military and industrial supporters set out to conquer the world they first had to conquer the German people.
 This would have been difficult in England or the United States, where free, undisciplined citizens would give military gangsters the bum's rush and the Bronx cheer not so in Germany.
 About five years ago I watched an Army plane land on an airfield in Massachusetts with one of the highest U. s. Army officers on board.
 Before he got out onto the field a flunky brushed his uniform with a neat little broom aS he stood in the doorway.
 Then he stepped out and, look ing very handsome. stiff and cor- rect, got into waiting automobile.
 But 1t had been raining and there was deep mud in the road from the field. Unfortunately for his dignity, the car became hope lessly mired. Presently he climbed out and stood on nearby high

But this in turn produces a fresh reaction, and we have short skirts and pin-up girls.
 It is we'll to understand this principle for there is every indi- cation that we are about to react violently against what has always been an American tradition, and before than a British one.
 We must not be caught nap- ping again-we must be prepared

The War Department., asked for
comment, issued this statement:
Because of their special work
these men, after induction into the
Army, were placed in the Enlisted
Reserve Corps and continued in
their jobs. The War Department
has now been advised that the re-
quirement for their services in this
special work has ceased. Therefore
they have been called to active
duty"
One agent said that because of
their age some of the men might
not have been called at all, had
they not been in the reserve. He
also pointed out that members of
the detail had been dissuaded by
their superiors from seeking COM
missions early in the war.
With the exception of one man,
who is %, the agents involved gen.

oldest is 80. Six are married and five
have children.
Mr.. Reilly, who is being replaced
by George Drescher, a veteran of the
service, has resigned after his trans
fer, it was said yesterday. He is
from Anaconda. Mont, and entered
the service in 1884. He succeeded
the late Col. E. w. Startling as head
