National Service Act Endorsed as War Labor Draft Debate Grows
The editorial backs a national service act for all adults and supports a labor draft to boost war effort. It argues drafts already exist for capital and soldiers, contending sweat equals blood and that workers face less risk than combatants. It criticizes CIO’s Murray as wrong and warns of inflation and war strikes if delayed. The piece cites President Roosevelt’s three year hesitation but final push for total mobilization to hasten victory.
