Birth registration urged to defend heritage and uniform honor
The author argues for universal birth registration to prove legitimacy and aid records for inheritance voting and travel. It asserts American laxity contrasts with Europe, calls for compulsory national registration, and links proper documentation to respect for the uniform and national security amid postwar unrest. The piece criticizes soldiers in riots and urges stronger laws to prevent misuses of military attire and sanction abuses by wearers.
