National Guard Enlistment
(Juneau Empire)
(Continued from Monday.)
September 9, 1940.)
■No doubt the belief that the
Guard would be called out for
training has slowed enlistments
here. No young man likes to sign
up for something which he
knows will make him give up all
his present opportunties and re
sponsibilities for a full year, ev
en in the service of his country.
With that prospect now cleared
eway, it is to be hoped the Al
aska Guard will be recruited to
its full strength in short order.
The Alaska National Guard
will prove of great value to the
nation in years to come. Alone it
could not repel an invasion. But
it is equally true that soldiers
of the regular Army ordered here
hurriedly from the States, could
not alone do much better. The
Alaska Guard, trained in the
north, knowing the Alaska ter
rain and climate, can be of tre
mendous service as a guiding
force and training force for Chee
chaccos.
The Alaskan man of military
age can do his duty to his coun
try and to national defense, as
well as to his Territory and com
muhity, by joining the National
Guard now instead of being con
scripted.
Current Comments
Written From
Washington
The discussion of the conscrip
tion bill goes on in the Senate,
after a two week debate which
may be referred to conservative
ly as warm. In fact, at time it
was hot and bitter. The two ma
jor features are drafting men and
drafting wealth.
As to the propriety of assemb
ling man power, the arguments
are conventional but none the
less forceful, and boil down to
the statement that the necessity
exists. Nor is the reasoning of
the opposition without weight, a
draft of military rigidity in time
of peace being regarded as a men
ace to the liberties of a free peo
ple.
The situation in regard to con
scripting wealth is more com
plex. Senator Clark of Missouri
is quoted as asking his fellow
legislators whether they are will
ing to demand the nation’s blood
and brawn, and let the wealth of
the nation go scot free. Upon the
other hand, it is pointed out that
the Government stands in need of
the assurance that the capital of
the land be kept ready for use
in the making of war equipment,
care being taken that there
shall be no profiteering. The pro
per course lies, it is said, in tax
ing excess profits, rather than in
a direct levy upon capital, to the
disorganization of industry.
It will take a month to thresh
I out the conscription measure, ac
cording to one authority. Another
would'have it that a vote is ex
pected daily. Remarks on the sub
ject may be current comment, or
may be no more than a review of
something that has become law
and history over night.
Although the campaign hardly
; can be said to be under way, the
plans of both Democrats and Re
publicans are being worked out
, carefully. Mr. Willkie has in
! mind a four thousand mile trip
through the Central and Middle
West, with a closing speech at
Detroit the latter part of Sep
11ember. The Democrats are not
j idle. If the remarks of Secretary
i Ickes may be taken as a sample
! and omen, the fur will fly before
the votes are cast. The ability of
Mr. Roosevelt to state his views
are known, and Mr. Willkie hard
ly can be called a pensive and
retiring soul. There will be
.things doing.
| The movement toward a de
j fense agreement between the Un
ited States and Canada should
j have few opponents. It is -one
, thing to weigh and consider, as
1 to sending men and munitions be
! vond the ocean, but quite anoth
| er to extend a reassuring hand
! to the Dominion, remembering
i that we may need something
; more than sympathy in return.
I Tackling the United States by
! way of water would tax the re
■ sources even of a Hitler. A thou
[ sand Nazi tanks in Canada would
[be just too bad. The boundary
i line is a frail barrier. It may be
crossed as easily as that which
! surrounds France. In these days,
all that invaders have to do is
| to step on the gas.
