If we were preaching a
sermon, we’d take. these
words for a text. If we were
a crusading columnist, we’d
use them for a slogan. Of
course, we’d have to add some
words. Because, we have de-
cided, “Now is the time for
all good men to come .to the

We think things have got-

bunch of procrastinating pol-
iticians, who told the voters
of the 48 states ‘in this Union
that they had tjie best inter-

insist on talking about pre-
paredness instead of doing
something about Tt. No Dem-
ocrat will move the passage
of the conscription bill for
fear that every son’s mother
will vote the Republican tick-

lican wants to take a stand
for fear it will hurt the Will-
kie chances, at the White
House.

we began to live up to some

BILL NOW SCHEDULED
FOR SWIFT ACTION
, IN THE HOUSE
Washington, Aug. 28.—The
peacetime draft bill, subject-
ing 4he Nation’s young man-
hood to compulsory military
training, was approved by the
Senate Wednesday night at
the end of prolonged controv-
ersy. '
A smashing vote of 58 to
31 sent the measure to the
House. There the Military
Committee already was deep
in dispute over a similar bill.
One of the last amendments
adopted by the Senate on a
69 to 16 vote, would empower
the Government to take over
manufacturing plants when
necessarf for defense pur-
poses.
In broad outline, the Sen-
ate’s measure requires all
male citizens between 21 and
30 inclusive to register for the
to notify Green at the Chamber of Kira ft, some 12,000,000 in all.
»« wiuit everybody in-thi* terrt-
