Mr. President. I have had letters from men both native born and naturalized. but all American citizens alike. saying. " We have been drafted. we go. and we go readily. but the men who are living In this country. who are protected by its laws. who are furnished with education by its schools. are going to step In and take our places in the factory or anywhere else. and they boast that they are going to do it." That makes a bitter feeling. and I think a justly bitter feeling. It seems to me incredible that nothing at all should -be done about it. I know that some of the allies are anxious to have us apply the selective draft to their citizens and residents here. that they willbe only too glad to have that done.
