Universal Military Training gains wide support in Congress
A National Security League canvass shows 157 House members and 39 Senators in favor of universal military training on a permanent basis. Only one House opponent, Rep. Carl Hayden, leaves a narrow margin of 117-? in the House with many converts among moderates and several senators. Letters from new proponents praise training for its educational value and national self defense, while some caution about implementation details.

A nationalistic piece argues a German victory would yield global domination by a Kaiser, with the United States reduced to a defeated, governed nation under Potsdam. It warns that a world under German rule leaves no middle ground, predicting Kaiser-led global governance or conquest. It frames the war as existential for freedom and self-rule.
