Peacetime Conscription Debate Divides Congress
The House Postwar Military Policy Committee weighs peacetime compulsory training with both support and opposition. Advocates urge a postwar 600000 yearly intake for 18 year olds to form 4500000 effectives and 550000 navy recruits, while opponents warn of undermining liberty and fear for youth. The National Council of Parents and Teachers and Monsignor Carroll urge delay, while the Veterans of Foreign Wars backs a Community based three year plan in National Guard or Reserve units. The debate centers on training type, timing, and national defense strategy.
