REQUEST FOR NATIONAL SERVICE
- Once again President Roosevelt is out with a request,
which is virtually a demand, for a national service law, one,
that is, which would provide for total mobilization of man
power and womanpower in the prosecution of the war. Mil
lions in the armed forces, themselves mobilized for the same
purpose, will favor such legislation. Millions of others, en
gaged in war industries, will as seriously oppose it. The op
position, we are inclined to believe, will be more effective
than the support.
A national service law could probably have been enacted
in the days which immediately followed the attack on Pearl
harbor, in the days when the nation, with only the beginning
of armed strength, its production facilities as yet only slightly
converted to the service cf war, enraged at the ruthlessness
of a treacherous enemy and fearful of an equally ruthless
invasion of the homeland, was ready to embark upon any
program, to accept any plan that would promise salvation.
Even then the idea of a national service law was nothing
new. In the years between world war I and the outbreak of
the second world war it had been proposed and actively spon
sored by the American Legion. It was still only an idea, but an
idea that the American people, in the urgencies of war's be
' ginning, would have been closer to accepting than at any other
time.
Nothing was done about it then, however, and in the
meantime war preparations and war support were begun
on a different basis. Voluntary service, not forced service, was
the keynote of this beginning. It was so in civilian participa
tion and it was so in military preparation. It is true that
there was selective service, but selective service operation
'was also used to stimulate enlistment. By the same token it
was used, and is still being used as an indirect method of in
ducing civilians to take war industry jobs and to keep on
holding war industry jobs. To the extent that men of draft
age and suitable physique were involved it was effective. For
them it compelled by indirection. The alternative was military
service by enlistment or by induction.
In the meantime conversion of industry to war production
went on. The building of an army and the building and man
ning of a navy were speeded. Presently victories were being
reported. Enemy opportunity for invasion was reduced, then
virtually eliminated. Production of munitions and the means
for transporting them increased vastly. Fear vanished and
with it the greatest stimulus to support of legislation to pro
vide compulsion of all-out war effort.
In the meantime also the strength of organized labor grew
apace. Vast industrialization provided the field for its
growth. Beneficent legislation encouraged it. It attained its
greatest power, both in relation to industry and in political
relations.
When a national service law was finally proposed, or
ganized labor sprang to arms. It say in such ,a measure the
substitution ot government authority lor that ot its own or
ganization. It condemned the regimentation of national serv
ice as substitution of peonage for Ireedom
prevailed.

Global Problems
Get New Study
Washington, Jan. 11 upi An
eight-man, bi-partisan delegation
from the senate foreign relations
committee today spent an hour
and a half exchanging views on
international problems with Pres
ident Roosevelt in anticipation of
the forthcoming "big three" con
ference. Committee Chairman Tom Con
nnlly, D Tex., told reporters later
that "in anticipation of the presi
dent's departure" for the confer
ence, several of the senators
"made known their views" on In
ternational problems and the pres
ident in turn "made known to
them his views."
Situation Dulicalo
"Until the meeting of the pres
ident, Stalin, and Churchill," Con
nelly said, "I hope there will be
no resolution pressed in the sen
ate or general discussion which
would disturb the delicate interna
tional situation."
Coming only one day after the
first full-dress foreign policy sen
ate debate this year, the lengthy
meeting held in the residential
quarters of the executive mansion
served to emphasize anew the
delicacy of this country's troubled
relations with its allies.

It may be believed that the president is well aware of this
and it is as easy to believe that his request for selective
service law amendment to provide for the drafting of four
million men of 4-F classification is the enactment for which
he really hopes. Again, compulsion by indirection the choice
between military service and war industry employment. As
to a national service law, the time when it might have been
enacted is in the past. A measure voted under that name today
would have little but the name to distinguish it. -
