Vigilantes form to back universal service in defense drive
A New York gathering of poets writers and artists created The Vigilantes to promote a prepared nation with universal service and a large trained army. They urge better school history to teach patriotic duty, warn against pacifism, and stress that citizens must “do their bit” to support a modern navy, coast defenses, and a million-strong armed force.
