Hazards OF The Sea
Overcome By A
Matchmaker

Until 1749 navigation at sea
was somewhat hazardous oper-
ation, according to the Jewelry
Industry Council. 1t was a rela-
lively easy matter to ascertain lat
itude from observations of the
sun and the stars, but longitude
was matter of guesswork, which
often resulted in shipwrecks. In
1913, Sir Isaac Newton said that
one way to judge longitude was
to develop an instrument which
kept perfect time under all cir
cumstances. The Council tells us
that at that time 10 such mechan-
ism was known. The British Gov
eminent offered a reward of 90
600 pounds for the development of
such an instrument-one that
would be accurate within thirty
miles at the end of voyage last
ing six weeks. 1t was an obscure
CARPENTER from Yorkshire who fl
nally developed the first chrome
meter. 1t wasn't until he had built
four watches that the Government
finally decided that he had solved
the problem. Fortv-five years
after he made his first trip to
London with the plans for the
first chronometer, John Harrison
was awarded the 10000 pounds
prize money-too late for him to
really enjoy the fortune.

This Is What They Say Now

The Army's Arguments for
Renewing the Draft
1t would eliminate a waiting
period estimated as at least four
months" for new legislation in the
event of an emergency.
Experience in World War II dem
onstrated that Congress will act
swiftly if the need is there, and
showed that men could be drafted
and trained faster than weapons
could be produced for them.
When hearings began in January,
1850, proponents of draft renewal
were reported willing to accept a
compromise bill that would put Sc
lective Service on the books but keep
it imperative unless a joint resolu-
ton of Congress or an Executive
Order by the President put it into
effect. This at once raises two ques-
tons:
a. If too much delay would be in
volved in getting draft legislation
through Congress in an emergency,
why would not the same thing be true
of getting a joint resolution passed
by both houses? Actually, of course,
if serious emergency were to de-
velop, Congress would have to be in
session for other important legisla-
ton, and would give the necessary
authority to the military at once.
b. In effect, such a compromise bill
is mobilization bill. 1t admits that
the need for draft does not exist
now and asks that future decisions
as to it's necessity be taken out of
the hands of Congress and left large
ly to the military, dangerously un-
American arrangement.
Moreover, the Army already has
available to it in regular forces,
National Guard and reserve compon-
ents, about 1,750,000 men who could
be modified without any draft law.
In July 1947 General ]. Lawton Col |

The Army has used the draft only
four months, drafting a total of 3d.
049 men. (The Navy and Air Force
have not used the draft, and both
these services told Congress in April
1913 that they had no need of con-
'cription.);
The draft has not operated, ex-
cept to keep an expensive Selective
Service system operating, since Feb
ruary, 1919;
While it operated, Selective Ser
vice used 41,279 men to draft 3d.
049 men, at cost of 1914 per man.
This compares with an average of
$134.70 per voluntary recruit (1948
figures).
Nevertheless, the Army and the
of Defense want the Sc
lective Service Act renewed, this
time for three years. Along with
the old arguments, they are using
some new ones.

But the Facts were Otherwise
Was War Imminent?

Was War Imminent?
1t was not. The Army's INTEL
igence reports were false. The,
Russian troop movements" were
only the usual shifting of units
to spring training stations. Never
theless, although within few weeks
the Central Intelligence agency had
interpreted the situation correctly to
the Army, the latter did not notify
Congress of it's mistake. Almost a
year later the false reports had
stimulated recommendations which
if followed might have had serious
consequences. Ironically, the "ser-
consequences" presumably
could have been the very war the
Army was ostensibly trying to pre-
vent.

Had Voluntary Enlistments Fallen

Orr
Yes, they had, but largely because
the Army itself had steadily made
volunteering more difficult, by rails
ing the passing grade on its tests
from SO to 80, by refusing to accept
short-term enlistments, by setting
geographical and racial quotas, and
by other means.
In spite of these actions, which re-
suited in fewer men accepted of those
who applied, volunteers continued to
come. The Army used the draft for
only four months. November 1948
through February 1919, and has adj
mitted that it has not needed it since
In November, 1919, it announced
plans to release draftees who had
served one year of their 21-month
term, a point to be remembered if
the Army claims again that it is
below strength.
