Roosevelt Calls for Swiss Style Universal Service Plan
Theodore Roosevelt argues for universal military service modeled on Swiss or Australian systems. He contends full citizenship requires duties in war and peace, rejects volunteers who avoid fighting, and urges every able-bodied youth to prepare to defend the nation.

Swiss Army System as Model for Defense

It notes public admiration for a nonmilitaristic, efficient system where hotel keepers become officers, and instructors keep troops up to date while costs are low. It argues a U.S. bill to adopt a Swiss like system would boost readiness and reduce expense.
