PEACETIME, COMPULSORY,
MILITARY TRAINING
in a free country, that compulsion
and freedom are just as opposed as
light and darkness. They stress thq
fact that we have never had com-
pulsory, peacetime, military train-
ing in this country.
Another argument which those
opposed to peacetime, compulsory,
military training use is that it
would be more appropriate to use i
first hand.
Mrs. Stallworth said she was a
Democrat and had supported the
national administration.
The text of Mrs. Roosevelt’s let-
ter:
“I have your letter and appreciate
your kind Invitation and I regret
that at present It Is not possible
for me to accept It.

Among the many issues which are
going to be heard about when the
shooting stops and the world once
more tries to go tranquilly about Its
business Is that of peacetime, com-

This is a question loaded with
dyiiamlte and, just because there
are so many valid arguments on
both sides, it is going to be exceed-
ingly difficult to discuss It free from
rancor and prejudice, and In pro-
portion as rancor and prejudice
rule men's minds and passions will
it be that much more difficult to
arrive at a correct conclusion. It is
only when men’s minds are free

that if there should be a third World

there would not be time to condi-

The quickness with which the

its factories to a wartime basis is
another argument which those op-
posed to peacetime, compulsory,

tention that such training is not
necessary.
The foregoing are only a few of
the arguments that have so far ap-

arguments will be developed m the

“However, in a democracy we can,
not have 12,000,000 people who are
denied their rights as citizens. I
believe they should have lour funda-
mental rights, namely, an equal op-
portunity for employment according
to ability and at equal pay, all equal
opportunity for education, an equal
opportunity for justice before the
law, and equal opportunity to par-
ticipate In government through the
ballot.
“We draft the men and expect
them to pay taxes and we cannot,
therefore, deny their constitutional
rights and expect them to accept It.

“This question Is not Just a
southern question. It Is a world
question. If we hope to build a
world In which we would have
peace, we are going to have to co-
operate with many races, and if we
are not fair and Just to the colored
people who live in our midst and
are citizens, how can we expect
other countries to trust us and be-

“I know In many places the
negroes outnumber the white peo-
ple, and that is one explanation of
not giving them the right to vote.
There can be and should be a stand-
ard of literacy and education re-
quired and I think you will find
that the negro will not vote as a
group any more than any other
minority group does in this coun-
try.
“Perhaps one of the solutions will
be to move the negroes Into places
where there are only a few and
thus prevent the lack of balance.
This has been suggested and even
tried in the manpower shortage and
has been bitterly opposed by some
southern states.
“We made a grievous mistake In
bringing the negroes here and we
cannot undo that.

position.”

I love ’em.
A periscope on cars, instead of the little old
mirror?...Doors that slide?,..Or a sunshine
top? Bring ’em on! Till then, however, my
one main idea is to keep this car rolling. I need
to. You can start naming motor oils or anything
H else that you think’s helpful. First though, I want
to warn you not to let engine acids do their worst
damage, when you can easily outsmart them by
getting your engine’s insides oil-plated. Listen,
| right on a can of Conoco N** motor oil you’ll read
I about N<A oil’s modem synthetic. It works some-
thing like magnetism. That’s how it makes metal
surfaces keep hold of oil-plating. Then what if the
engine explosions produce deadly corrosive acids, as
every expert and his brother will tell you? Those acids
still wouldn’t gnaw direct at fine steel that’s shielded by
oil-plating—a real acid-fighter! It fights for your car.
While waiting for new ones—who knows how long?—don’t
delay switching to Conoco N*A oil.

. ..or a way to relax in camp
From southern camps with thqir moss-hung cypresses to camps near the north
woods, there’s one place soldiers can relax—the Post Exchange. There they
settle down tc “shoot the breeze” together. Have a “Coke", they say. Coca-Cola
is a refreshing reminder of what they left behind. On “Company Street” in
camp as on Main Street at home, Coca-Cola stands for the pause that refreshes.
In your own refrigerator, ice-cold bottles of Coca-Cola are a symbol of a
friendly way of living.
