Senator McGovern is a United Meth odist — • M r . P resident, today we face once again a m a jo r choice about the kim j of.Nation we are arxl the kind of Nation we want to be. \\e are asked whether we w ill continue o r end the conscription of young A m e ri cans into the Arm ed F orces. 1 recognize that con scrip tion has its place in our sys tem . A t a m »m int of grave national p e ril, we need a mechanism fo r ra is in g an arm y ami navy necessary fo r defense. But, aside fro m such a situation, we have tra d itio n - a lly refrained fro m providing m ilita r y manpower through com pulsory se rvice . The d ra ft has been an un usual phenomenon in A m e ri can h is to ry . It has been ra re ly used. As a re s u lt, thousands of im m ig ra n ts came to this country to escape the forced servitude that was ch a ra cte r is tic of the requirem ents fo r m ilita r y service in Europe. The United States was known as a country of freedom where this fo rm of national service was the exception, not the ru le . Senator G oldwater has stat ed the case fo rth rig h tly : " T h is is a m >raJ m a tte r. As a conservative, I believe that the m ast precious and funda m ental rig h t of man is his rig h t to liv e his own life . When force is used to te ll a young man how he shall spend several years of his life , then 1 consider this to be an invasion of his person al lib e r ty ." How iro n ic it is that a Nation that has been the s h e lte r fo r the v ic tim s of m ilita r y despo tism abroad should now sec thousands of its sons flee to avoid our own con scrip tion. How can we continue to c a ll young men to o ffe r th e ir liv e s o r a portion of th e ir live s fo r th e ir country w hile the re s t of us make no s a c rific e s whatso eve r fo r the continuation of the w ar in Indoc ha ma? W h a tc o r- poration s a crifice s p a rt of the p ro fits i t is m aking on the pro duction of arm am ents and other m ilita r y supplies? What defense plant w o rke r is forced to s a c rific e his chance at a de cent income and to accept wages no higher than the aver age pay of combat personnel? And which of the a rm c h a ir w a rrio rs in Government who support the continuation of the w ar year a fte r year and w ill ingly send young men to fig h t in it makes the sa c rific e of any personal convenience fo r the sake of that war? There is no longer any ju s tific a tio n fo r con scrip tion. W e are, in fact, in danger of ju s tify in g itm e re ly because i t has been o u rp ra c tic e fo r so long— since ¡9 40. The Senate has heard p e r suasive arguments concerning the establishm ent of a volun teer armed fo rc e . The prob lem s to achieving such am l i - ta ry force are esse n tia lly technical. If we have the w ill, we can create a w e ll-p a id and professional m ilita r y to rce . So le t us now act w ith cou r age and vote to end th e d ra ft— a p ra ctice which is al ten to our tra d itio n s , to our values and to our N ational in te re st. V ATICAN CITY 7'he Rev.
