This time, House Leader McCormack told inquiring news men he wanted time to read the message thoroughly and Senate Leader Barkley could not be found although he was around. , A similarly significant void was evident all down the line of both democratic and republi can ranks, where the men know the youth draft is not popular. Actually, only those congressmen who had already committed them selves on both sides of the question chose to comment. j Any rush for action likewise was missing. Acting Chairman Johnson of the senate military committee, a democrat who is against the Truman idea, said the matter could not be considered until about January IS when the 'chairman returns. The Truman proposition thus did not change votes or arouse supporting sentiment. His basic between-the-lines idea plainly was that Russia has not joined wholeheartedly in the peace, is the only competitive world military power to us, has announced plans for a youth draft of 'her own and we should do likewise. Most Impressive ' THIS unspoken part of the presentation was the most Impressive. The written argu ment of the president cannot hold analytical water. He says, for Instance, he wants a small army and navy, a big national guard and a youth draft for reserves. His defense then would rest . entirely on how. big and good he made the national guard, because he admits the drafted , youth would only have basic training not the specialized training essential for modern war. . f He claimed the rockets and atom bombs have robbed us of time to prepare in the future. But 1 he said the army and navy could not use the youthful reserves until time was taken out to i let an act of congress passed. By that time ithe nation might be destroyed. ' He claimed our geographical ocean defense had been destroyed (directed missiles would come winging over the Icy frontier, of the arctic i to our midwest), but his plan would risk our j defenses to "a small" army and navy, and a national guard, which hardly sounds like ade quate defense and completely abandons attack " possibilities which are often the best defense. Frankly, it seems to me Mr. Truman was ' ' sold an obsolete youth draft system by the old- time crowd in the war department, and he ' dressed it up with his national guard enlarge ment, idea, and presented it as an "answer for a Job it will not do. From his own evidence, we will have to. be ready to act faster than his plan would allow action. Then again he said "universal military traliv ing is not conscription," assuming apparently that conscription applies only to direct service In the army and navy. "Enlisted By Compulsion" CONSCRIPTION means "enlisted by compul V sion" for anything, whether civilian service, youth camps or the democratic party. It is the Russian way, the communist way, the old Prussian way and the objection that will unquestionably sway congress against it is that there are many democratic ways of doing the same Job better. What we need for defense is a scientific army for this scientific age. First there should be a single department of the armed forces with a co-equal air force to fight the very things which Mr. Truman envisaged. Fossilized ideas like youth drafts should be shoved out with the fossils, and a new en lightened spirit generated throughout our de fense system. This armed force should not te "small or "large" but enough. Behind this armed force, a better system for more reserves could be built in a democratic way. We are a democracy favoring utmost liberty for the individual and should practice what we preach. By the youth draft, the armed forces would only give basic training to a little more than 1,000,000 youngsters a year, taking tnem trom their homes, their lives, the development of their talents and delaying their economic con tributions as workers in the nation by a year. If military training were brought to them in the schools in their home towns, millions of youngsters could get basic training and be kept trained throughout their high school and college years. Indeed they could get specialized train ing in scientific warfare subjects at a fraction of the cost of the draft program, because their families would be supporting them instead of the government. National Guard Logical FOR those who do not go to school, the na tional guard development is logical. They can get basic and specialized training at nights, on weekends, in summer maneuvers without quitting their jobs, lives and families. But they-should be furnished the best offi cers, with war training and the latest equip ment so they will know how to use it. Their aviation branch should not be a flying club, but a combat service. These two steps would cover the entire youth of the country with a truly democratic kind of compulsion, by making service a required subject in the schools and national guard or army service obligatory for those who do not go to school. For officer personnel, Annapolis and West Point should be duplicated to whatever extent necessary. There is need for haste as Mr. Truman said. A long time will be required to get these things going efficiently. Many bills to carry out some phases of such a democratic training pro gram are pending in congress, but there is no democratic program as a whole. This is the gravest fault of the current situation.' If the bullheaded war department will not work out what congress wants, and Is able to control Mr. Truman, congress is likely to work out a piecemeal substitute which will not do the job either. It is a condition screaming for skilled demo cratic leadership, which unless furnished might well cause this nation to fall before the first new aggressor. SIDE GLANCES The World Today Br DeWTTT MacKENZIE Associated Press War Analyst MacKENZIE home in the One of the most dangerous of , ine , many crises which are threatening International peace is roar, grow- , ing out of the dispute over whether unre- : stricted Jew ish immigra tion should be : permitted into Palestine. This of course In volves the his toric question ' of t h'e estab lishment of a Jewish national Holy land. A host of homeless Jews in Europe refugees from 'the Hitlerian storm are cry ing iur a raising oi ine carriers. Arabs in Palestine and in neigh boring countries are offering bitter opposition and threats of armed strife are in the air. The situation demands quick adjustment, but it bristles with complications. The British gov ernment, which holds the man .date for Palestine, is trying to . handle this hot potato, and the matter has been the subject of conversations between London and Washington. There has been a growing feeling in England that the United States should share in the responsibility of trying to reach a solution. Statement Expected i Well informed circles are ex pecting the British government to make a statement in the im mediate future. Whether this will relate to the exchanges with Washington remains to be seen. This column yesterday sub- gested that the Javanese revolt against Dutch rule, and the na tive rebellion in Fiench-Indo China, might well be taken up Dy ine new worm security or ganization for settlement. The question of self-determination is a logical one to come before all the United Nations. There nat urally would have to be media tion by some country, to halt the fighting and preserve the status quo, penaing tne time when the security organization gets into' lull action. Why shouldn't a similar pro gram be applied to the Palestine difficulty? Certainly there could be no better Jury before which to lay the case than the full as sembly of the new League of Nations. As a matter of fact, any muiier auecung ine Palestine mandate naturally would fall to the security organization as suc cessor to the League of Nations which originally granted the mandate to Britain. Problem Too Bis This idea doesn't involve any suggestion that Britain be asked to surrender the mandate. The point is that the nroblem of Ihp Jewish national home has got too big and complicated for any one country to handle. Indeed, it is doubtful if the decision of any single country wnnlri hn Al I. 1 11. ' 1 1 X, . ' vj uuui siaes to ine controversy.

This great nro ject was set forth in the so-called Balfour declaration by Britain in 1917. That document, which recoraea ine meal and recog nized pitfalls, said in part: "His majesty's government views witn lavor tne establish ment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of that object. It being clearly under stood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Pal estine, or the rights and Dolitieal status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."
