Chief among the organizations advocating definite pro- posals will be the American Legion and other veteran organiza- tions, which will join in demanding the “universal draft” act, and the army and navy, which would be required to defend the nation in time of trouble. Curiously enough, their suggestions dovetail very neatly and, in view of our experience in the last war, seem to be dic- tated by sound patriotism and a reasonable view of the situa- tion. Source of demand for the universal draft act is the resent- ment of the people generally at a situation which apparently places property values above human life. They resented the fact that more than 20,000 men became millionaires from profits made during the last war. The veteran groups give point and jeadership to this resentment. Men who served in the trenches feel that wars, if they come, will be more vigorously prosecuted if the civilian popula- tion is made to feel some of their sting. They know, too, that modern warfare makes direct participants of civilians, as wit- ness the horrors of the bombing of Madrid in the Spanish rebellion. Hence, as a matter of justice to the men who would serve and their parents and friends, as well as from the standpoint of national defense, they want the government to be able to con- script industry in the event of conflict. That the country generally is behind them and will make its opinion felt when the matter comes to issue may be taken for granted. The only valid objections to it are those of a constitutional nature. Property may not be conscripted without due process of law. Men have traditionally been required to serve but property and non-combatants never have been, But the nation now has adopted a changed concept of war. In the old days it was fought by men with guns. Now it is fought by them and by the industrial populations behind them working at machines. The theory of the veterans and of the defense agencies still is that the Lord is on the side of the army with the most and heaviest artillery. Endorsement of the veterans’ stand comes from the army and navy which has approached the question from that of effi- ciency rather than of comparative justice. Its five-point plan, as recently announced, would permit the president, at his discretion in time of war, to: 1. Fix prices of commodities and regulate their manu- facture, use, sale and distribution; real estate prices and rentals also could be “frozen.” 2. Draft industrial management personnel into govern- ment service and commandeer manufacturing plants or other industrial establishments under certain conditions, 3. Regulate commodity and security exchanges, closing them if necessary. 4. Invoke regulations against profiteering, speculation, hoarding and waste. 5. Set up a $500,000,000 revolving fund for emergency capital loans to industry. This would permit the mobilization of industry as well as of men. They know that without such industrial mobilization ‘the army might just as well not exist. They know that only by such a system could the war be brought home to all of the people and the entire population enlisted in the effort to bring in to a quick and successful con- ae tintiveas: clusion. With clouds looming on the horizon it is well that such steps pe taken now, lest, in the not distant future, we again find 5 ourselves waiting anxiously for the publication of casualty lists, scanning them fearfully, afraid to find the name of a loved ene on this grim roll. More of Everything Eyebrows were lifted when this newspaper contended, several months ago, that industrial and commercial figures exceeding those of 1929 were no indication of prosperity, that the increase in population since that time made these figures too low if we were to know substantial prosperity. » . Now comes endorsement for this view from the National ‘Industrial Conference Board which has been looking behind the figures showing total output to what the average individual is getting. These data show that, while in many lines total figures | 7 ow are above those for 1929, the per capita output is 19 per é cent below the figure for that year. The board then goes on § to assert that, to provide the same amount of goods per capita f today as were made available by industry in 1929, total output must exceed that of 1929. Only the plate glass, tobacco products, boots and shoes and petroleum products now are.at or above the 1929 figure on a’ per capita basis: The other 14 of 18 industries studied are ‘When ‘they get up to the same per capita basis as prevailed in 1929, the same general level of prosperity will have been But there is no reason to assume that industrial and com- assemblage, and choice of representa- Your Personal Health By William Brady, M.
