THE BARGAIN BASEMENT SPECIALIZES IN BARGAINS oo who runs around withou hearts. quaintance, conse burea le Readers Write Why Our Yanks Are Kept in France TR question is NOT whether we should help France or whether we must maintain an army “to police Europe”; the question is why must the Yanks who have already given service bear the whole burden while the rest of us bear none of it? seem to be two arguments why our boys kept in Europe, altho the armistice has There should be been sigr The first is that France and other devastated countries need the help of the United States in re- construction work. The second is that the United States may need the men in furtherance of the pe treats In other words, things are so chaotic now in Europe that they are needed for (let us call it) police duty As to the first, we may readily grant that France needs the help of the United States to rebuild itself. However, is it right for us to impose upon a few hundred thousand Yanks all the cost of that help? Every soldier who works on roads in France today is contributing $100 a month—and more, ac- cording to his station in lifg—to France. The government pays him only $30. Is it right to make him contribute that much and deprive his family and his own career in doing so—while the rest of us give nothing? It would be far better for us to float several more Liberty loans and turn the money over to France, either as a loan, or as a national gift, and let France hire its own men at its own price If the situation is of such a character that we must absolutely supply France with man-power as well as with money, then we should continue our draft system-—and make every one fit to wield a pick and shovel do his share in France, instead of con- demning the Yanks already there to an indefinite servitude, What a howl there would be if we attempted to conscript men now for “pick-and-shovel” duty in France! How many mothers would be willing to have the boys who have turned 21 this spring drafted and sent to France for this purpose? Yet that ought to be done if we dealt justly with the Yank “pick-and-shovelers” who have already done their bit. So much for the altruistic argument. If the armistice has not ended the war, then we should con- tinue to draft our »-bodied men for the purpose of adding to our forces and also for the purposes of RELIEVING those who have already spent time in service. It is not fair to condemn men who volun- teered, some as early as 1916, for service in Mexico, to remain on police duty indefinitely. Let's keep training new men as we have done during the war and thus distribute the burden of keeping peace in Europe and elsewhere. The great majority of the soldiers now in Europe are not professional soldiers. They went to help Uncle Sam in an emergency. THAT emergency is over. New conditions are at hand. Shall we impose all the hardships of every new condition upon the boys who went to fight Germany? If we must keep a large army in Europe, it should be either a professional army—men who are regular soldiers, to whom army life is a career, or else we should rotate the responsibility so that all of us, instead of a comparative handful, should bear the burden. Again The Star repeats that it is no more right to have roads built in France by the labor of Amer- ican soldiers, at $30 a month, than it would be in the United States When we have a government railway in Alaska to build, or when we have Lincoln or other highways to build, we, the people of the United States, hire those who are willing to work at that kind of labor— and we pay them adequate wages, not a beggarly $30 a month. If our policy is right in France, then it would be right in the United States to take our soldiers and sailors and make them build OUR roads, too. Thus they would be relieved of “too monotonous round of drills.” Maj. L. D. Lewis, in the letter reproduced here- with, takes issue with The Star's position. Yet he himself explains that “the failure of congress” to provide a regular army of 500,000 is responsible “for keeping many men in the service who would have otherwise been discharged.” Exactly! Our Yanks in France are bearing the brunt of somebody's failure—somebody’s laxity. To use a popular expression, they are “the goats.” —Cress-Dale Photo Do you know him?
