On the basis of my own experience in other countries. I have a very high regard for the young men of other nations between the ages of 18 and 35. which I believe is the limit in the amendment. They are precisely the same types. so far as character and ability are concerned. as the immigrants who helped so materially to make this great country what it has become in the twentieth century. I believe that if we could lessen. in an intelligent way. the militarypreparedness burden on the American people by utilizing the fine young men of Europe. many of whom found their sympathies and activities on our side during the war. for the betterment of this country and the maintenance of our farflung commitments throughout the world. we would be fortunate indeed. I would not construe it as an insult to a single American citizen domiciled In this country If we were so wise as to use the best of the rest of the world and hold out to them the strength of this democracy. of which they could become citizens if they earned that right over a 5year period.
