Advocating modified military
training, Russell A. Wheelock of The
Shopper of st. Johnsbury, VT, wrote:
"By all means we should be
armed, ready and willing to fight
when our way of life is threatened.
Therefore, military education in our
schools and colleges-yes!
IF we are smart enough to cher
ish and control the atomic bomb, no
country will war with us. Navies,
armies, air forces are outmoded,
and a waste of taxpayers money.
Money placed on armies would be
spent to better advantage educating
future scientists to cope with the
enemy's weapons. A strict control
of Japan and Germany will pre-
vent wars. A strong international
policy by America will back up
world peace"
Supporting a modified program,
c. D. Eldredge of the Courier Of
Winchendon, Mass, said:
"For young men about to continue
their education after completing
high school, I feel that year spent
in continuous military training
would be a decided mistake.
Let the young man who is accepted
for college combine his education
with the military, and in that way
not interrupt his program. It would
not necessarily have to be an ROTC
but something along the National
Guard lines.
"In case of a young man who had
no qualifications for college or in
clination to continue his education,
a "hitch" in the National Guard
would do the trick - with little
chance of the youth of the nation
becoming too military minded. :"
Believing the compulsory training
to be counter to principles of free
dom guaranteed in the Bill OF
Rights, M. E. Sunderland of The
Record of Waterbury, VT, declared:
"A public health program would
be more to the point. With so many
men rejected by selective service

our youth. I think this training

). where he is under some meas
ure of moral guidance"
Suggesting that military training
be made part of the educational cur
ricula rather than a compulsory mil
itary program, Katie B. Beauchamp
of The Magnet of Taylorsville, KY,
advised:
make it competitive and boys
will not have to be compelled to
take it. 1t could be given somewhat
as basketball and football-more
athletic than military-and would
reach more boys and those who need
it most"
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1946-01-18

If a lesser period Is adopted, our
boys will be going into battle only
half trained, and this is as bad as
no training at all. :. The only way
to avoid war in the future is to have
large enough army, sufficiently
trained so that no nation will dare
to attack US, and then don't 60 out
looking for trouble.
1--WE have been fortunate in the
last two wars to have time to train
an army, but when the next one
comes, time will not be allowed for
training an army. Really, the only
way to stop wars is to do as two
senators have been brave enough to
suggest, and that is to form an in
dividual state of the world. :"
Urging a modified program, Ed
gar R. Simpson of the News of st.
George, Utah, wrote:
''It is my observation that many
people think of peacetime military
training as program Of physical
education and disciplinary training,
which they favor. Most do not, how

ucation along some lines that would
benefit them in peacetime activities
as well as for wartime preparation,
as on college campus or something
of the sort in their home state OF
area"
Stating that while he didn't think
it would worry the President, T. D.
Caverly of the Valerian of Waller,
Mont, disagreed with Mr.. Truman's
training legislation. Said he:
eve believe it would be mighty
good thing for every boy and girl in
the country to put in year under
strict supervision Vas to hours and
habits, to be trained in calisthenics
and be under the direction of the
best doctors during that time so the
doctors could observe any physical
trouble and correct it. But we be-
lieve this should not be done at the
exact age of 49,"
Declaring that the government
should adopt policy of encourag.
ing science to develop the most
modern materiel combat means, w.
L. RAIDER of the Courier of Poison,
Mont, thought: {. it is useless
to draft man for a year for just
ordinary military training. This
would mean nothing the way war
would be carried on in the future
and would just be an enormous ex.
pense.

EIFTY-S SEVEN per cent of
L country newspaper editors
polled in a nationwide survey
by Western Newspaper Union
favor compulsory peacetime
military training, with SIT per
cent of these approving of Presi-
dent Truman's proposal for one
year of service for 49, to 20-year-
old male youths. Thirty-seven
per cent opposed compulsory
training and 6 per cent remained
undecided.
In the editors report on prevail
ing sentiment for compulsory train
ing IN their communities, however,
44.8 per cent of the people stood
against it, with 42.8 per cent approx
ing and 1874 per cent evenly divided.
With every section Of the country
heard from, southern editors showed
the greatest support for compulsory
training, with 66.6 per cent for it.
Following were the North with 59.7
per cent; the East with 57.6 per
cent and the West with so per cent.
Southern editors approving COM
pulsory training also showed the
strongest preference for Mr.. Tru-
mans service program, TIT per
cent being for it, while So per cent
in the West favored it, 56.7 per cent
in the North and 40 per cent in the
East.
With Sc per cent of the people re-
ported backing compulsory training,
southern communities also were far
out in front for the proposal, with
the West following with 41.9 per cent
and then the North with 400 per
cent, and the East with 81 per cent.
Timely in view of pending con-
gressional action on the Presidents
measure for one year of military
service for physically, morally and
mentally fit 18- to 20-year-old youths
of the nation, the WNU poll served
to reflect grassroots sentiment on
the all important proposal. It
seemed to justify congressional eau
ton arising from strong, popular
aversion 10 compulsory training,
while also rejecting advanced &C.
eeptance by professional thinking.
Because editors were asked to
gauge public opinion in their COM
mmities instead of actually polling
u, however, some discrepancy
might exist in their judgment of the
sentiments prevailing in their local
hies. Since the country newspaper
editor, Of all persons, perhaps is the
closest to the people about him, on
the other hand, his observations may
be considered fairly accurate.
Though the editors appeared out
Of step, rural community sentiment
ran in line with the recent positions
Of the three great farm organiza-
lions on postwar service: The Farm
Bureau favoring a broad program
Of physical fitness in schools and
land grant colleges; the Grange pro-
posing similar preparation and army
pay sufficient to induce volunteers,
and the Farmers Union advocating
some form of combined civilian
training modelled after the National
Youth administration.
The WNU poll contrasted mark
eddy with other nationwide tabu-
lations embracing the large urban
and country districts. The final edi-
tors count of 81 per cent for COM
pulsory training differed from the
reported overall figure of II per
cent for professional people in other
surveys, while the community count
of 44.8 per cent against contrasted
with other findings of IS per cent
against.
