Military training debate splits opinion across papers
A Western Newspaper Union editorial cautions that compulsory military training is not the only path to strength. It favors military education in schools, an expanded national guard, and a robust war department, while criticizing Prussian conscription and arguing for a democratic readiness that avoids a militaristic state. A radical editor disagrees, noting fears of a large standing army and urging caution amid Atlantic Charter debates.
