Objectors Draftees Sentenced By Courts Martial Hit With 13 to 20 Years
Washington June 17 Sentences ranging from 13 months to 20 years were imposed by courts martial on conscientious objectors who shared military service at Camp Upton and Camp Gordon. Secretary Baker approved the sentences and favored returning these citizens to the countries of their preference after the war if feasible. The twelve named objectors were naturalized or native U.S. citizens who refused to fight Germany and Austria, despite relatives there. Baker asserted the sentences were proper and that unable to fight for the United States, they remain duty bound to uphold the government. The report details the unusual situation of relatives in enemy nations and the complexities of loyalty among naturalized citizens.
