FOUR PAGE Senate Armed Services Committee to include Selective Service and Universal Military Training in a single bill makes good sense. They are threads of the same cloth. One measure is intended to meet a present need. The other is to provide for the future. But the purpose of both is the same—to provide for the | common defense. Draw any analogy you wish and the result still is the same. There must be planning to meet a tem- porary emergency and also for the future. If a man's business is deteriorating he doesn’t just do a temporary refinancing or reorganizing job; he takes immediate measures to strengthen his position, but he also makes provision for tomorrow. When a man is taking out insurance he doesn’t customarily sign up Zor just one | year; he takes out a long-term policy. Re-enactment of Selective Service is to meet an immediate emer- gency. Adoption of Universal Military Training would provide for the years ahead VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS Taku Post No. 5559 Meets first and third Fridays.

Senator Robertson of Wyoming ises the Administration of attempting to “ride Universal Military Training through on the coat-tails of the draft.” Mr. Robertson’s metaphor is not sound. Both are the coat. No doubt, under the stimulus of current events, some Congressmen believe it would be politically ad- vantageous to vote for a re-enactment of Selective Service, but that it might be noor politics to look ahead farther than the next few months. We believe that the country wants both short-term and long-term pro- tection. It is not the question of “package” procedure that is at issue. It is national security.
