| DIR. CARR OPENS: A good gen.
eral rule for the conduct OF public
affairs in q democracy is to make
important decisions in the light Of
the facts. The more clearly we Under
stand the present and probable fu-
ture situations, the more likely we
are to arrive at q wise decision. Since
we do not now have adequate infor.
nation regarding the prospects for
international security, we should not
decide now whether to enact COM
pulsory peacetime military training
Legislation. We shall know much more
about the international political and
military situation after the war is
over. We can make a wiser decision
when we have more information.
Whenever compulsory peacetime mil
itary training can be proved to be a
military necessity for national Secur-
ity, it should be enacted. No such
proof Is possible now because the
basic information will not be avail
able until the war is over. There is
no danger in postponing decision.
Present legislation is adequate for
the conduct Of the war itself. Some
people say that we should decide now
because after the war is over the
American people viii not deal wisely
With the question. Such an opinion
reveals to- ME q shocking lack Of
faith in the democratic process, a
profound distrust of the reasoned
Judgment Of the American people,
and revealing skepticism that the
case for a compulsory military train
ing can sustain an objective and
calm review.
| DIR. FA1RCHILD CHALLENGES:
The real problem is not whether we
should decide now, but whether we
should start serious discussion now.
Certainly we should not pass hasty.
considered laws. But in view OF
the fact which A. v. Dicey pointed
out long ago, that in even the most
democratic countries legislation lags
behind public opinion by 20 or 80
Iv"""S, we should start immediatelS
'ect and examine all evidence.
kinds of evidence stand out
only in wartifne-tend to be-
tu".e obscured in peace. In a highly
dynamic period, when things win
happen whether or no, the seemingly
scientific counsel of waiting till all
the evidence is i'm can be over
played.
DIR. CARR REPLIES: DR.. Fairchild
continues to- insist that we discuss
compulsory peacetime military train
ing now. We are discussing 1t now.
All say is that we should not COM
NIT ourselves too soon. II we pre-
maturely give up on the possibility
OF an international security system,
challenge our Allies to an armament
race and start immediately prepar-
ing for World War III, we shall be
throwing away the most important
fruits Of victory in World War II. To
paraphfase DR.. Fairchild's CHALLENGE:
certain kinds of evidence stand out
clearly only in peacetime and tend to
become obscured in the excitement
of war.

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 --
TT was past noon when the long
car crossed the high wooden
bridge that spanned the railroad
tracks on the outskirts of Lowell.
Lucia looked down. and her face
turned pale with fright. She
shivered and cried, ooh. I hate
this bridge. l hope I'll never see
it again"
Then she forgot her fright and
her eyes sparkled at the sight of
Lowell. Busy. Thriving. Modern.
cts wonderful dearest" she
said Il love it,"
His eyes were on her face again
when he stopped the car in his
driveway. She didn't know he
saw the light fade from her eyes
and the smile FROM her lips. He
frowned anxiously. what Is it,"
he asked. whats wrong?"
Lucia regained her poise but
found it hard to smile. That
CHASTITY house with the huge oaks
and magnolias and cafnellia la
ponicas! Almost a double for the
house she'd lived in and hated for
almost a score of years. There
would be rambling rooms and
family portraits. Blind anger
seized her.
But Francis was watching her,
so she replied shakily, "Pm quite
all right. Just excited over get
ting home.
''Home it is, Sarling!" And he
helped her from the car.
T UCIA turned to the door and
l. saw Fay coming to meet
them. The other woman felt "a
stab of envy. For all Rays youth
she had her own strength and
poise, and her fresh unspodIed
beauty made Lucia decide in
stantly and definitely that she
diSliked her more than she'd iex-
pected to.
"Kay, darling" Francis ex-
claimed, and kissed her warmly,
Then: ''This is Lucia" If there
was any misgiving in his mind as
to his surprise for Kay, his man
ner did not betray it.
Kay was smiling as she turned
to Lucia and kissed her lightly ON
the cheek. II remember Lneia, %
course"
ooh, Kay" Lucia cried, holding
her close, you've just got to love
me. I'll die if you don'tp

She'll love you because she loves
me-"
"1t's nice to have you home"
Kay said. "We'll have lunch when
you're ready. You must be

Lucia saw Rays surprise when
she looked at the fnulatto maid,
Eloise. The young girl with her
black laequered hair and pale
blue eyes always brought sur
prised stares; but she was per-
feet maid and Lucia had declared
she couldn't manage without her.

DIR. FAIRCHILD OPENS: In time
Of war prepare for peace. We should
certainly start discussing compulsory
military training now-when it 10 de-
cided will depend on when the dis
cussion reaches an adequate conclu-
sion. Otherwise, the notoriously short
memory of the American people will
have lost sight Of some major argu-
ments for it. If we are to have any
kind Of international security organ
ization-and If we are not, we should
certainly start Immediately preparing
for World War IIT-the u. S. will be
obliged to contribute its share to the
international police force necessary
to restrain aggression. In keeping
with the spirit Of democracy this
should be a peoples military unit,
not a professional army. If war comes
in spite of everything, our national
future will depend on our having as
large a body of trained personnel
ready as possible. The common as
sumption military training makes
people militaristic is complete error.
The Army War College several years
ago made an extensive inquiry among
those who had received military train
ing in connection with their. general
education, asking, among other things,
whether this had made them more
favorably inclined to war. The an
swer was an overwhelming negative.
Elementary military instruction re-
moves the glamour of war. gets rid
of the primitive romance of the uni
form, familiariZes the student with
grim, grueSome realities. The public's
concentrated attention to the health
of its youth would by itself justify
the cost

see how it could possibly do that
Military training would admit only
young men already able-bodied. The
best way to improve national health
is to start with the children and
serve all boys and girls.
= DIR. FAIRCHILD REPLIES: True,
DR.. Carr did not say military train
ing makes young men militaristic,
but plenty of other people have. DR..
Carr sets up his picture of what post
war military training would be like
then rejects it. We are discussing
universal military training, not just
that of the able-bodied. When our
society shows disposition to take as
much care Of its young people in
peace as in war, the health argument
will disappear. That is one reason for
starting to talk about it now. A dem
ocratic police force for international
service would not be a small pro-
fessional standing army but rotat-
ing group drawn from all classes.

HELPING WAR VICTIMS

The people of liberated lands will re-
quire 100000, 00O, 900 worth of food,
Clothing and etheri relief supplies, ,laccord-
Ing to the United Nations Relief and Be
habiHtation Administrator, IA III
In its second quarterly report, recent
~ sent Congress, the organization says that
these countries can furnish about 90 per-
cent of their own needs Imported relief
will be limited because of military opera
tons which demand the use of port facili-
ties, transportation and distribution sys-
TENS.
In connection with the report, it is i'm
portant for all of us to recognize that the
people referred to by UNRRA are the vic
Tins of the aggressors. They are not enemy
peoples. Their suffering during the war
equalled that of the people of any belliger-
cnt nation and they deserve the considera-
ton of other peoples who can easily spare
them some food, clothing and relief sup.
plies.
! Certainly, if the people of the United
States can tighten their belts to prosecute
successful warfare, they can we'll afford
to make slight additional sacrifice to give
assistance to starving civilians who have
been mistreated by the common enemy.
