Carsbn Tells
Of Universal
Service Idea
"Universal service, the slogan
of the 4 jnerican Legion through
out its history as the ideal to be
sought in the event of another
war, is to become an actuality
even though legislation to put it
into effect formally may falL in
congress, Maj. Joseph K. Carson,
department commander of the le-
gion and former Portland mayor,
told a Salem chamber of com
merce luncheon audience on Mon
day. Some Americans still fail to
grasp the fact, said Major Car
son, that this is a war "for keeps'
in that there is no possibility of a
negotiated peace with the barbar
ians of central Europe and east
Asia. If Japan is permitted to or
ganize the millions of Asia it will
be, he said, "the beginning of ex
termination of the white race."
Referring to execution of hostages
in Europe, he said the nazis had
proved themselves no better than
cannibals.
All should serve, and the indi
vidual should not be the judge of
where and how, the speaker said ,
in preface to the remark that he
could not approve the "con
science" which told a man not to
fight in defense of American wo
manhood. If this is to be a "soldiers' war
the United States may lose, Car
son said. If everyone serves It
cannot 'be lost.
He was introduced by Brazier
C. Small, district commander.
