Conscription Measure Advances Amid Senate Battle
Washington Aug 22. Legislature for mobilization of National Guardsmen and reserve units was approved by vote and sent to the Senate for prompt acceptance. The House accepted a report reconciling differences with the Senate version of the Burke Wadsworth bill, which President Roosevelt requested. The plan would equip about 242,000 guardmen 118,000 reserve officers and 50,000 enlisted men for service in the Western hemisphere and possessions. The Senate debated the draft program, with Democratic Leader Berkley seeking a weekend vote while some lawmakers favored delay. General Marshall said the War Department has plenty of eligible men to draft under the bill, and charges of influence by financiers and organizations were leveled in the Senate debate. Senator Ashurst warned against a peacetime draft proposal implying bondage, while others criticized the bill as a step toward conscription.
