I am opposed to peacetime compulsory military conscription for many reasons. One of the most important reasons is that it is contrary to the philosophy of our American constitutional republican form of government. A very large percentage of early immigrants to this land came here to get away from the very thing this Congress is now asked to set up. In my opinion one of the best ways to begin the destruction of the freedom of the individual and our freedom in general is to pass this peacetime draft which would be a radical change in our Government. the first peacetime draft In our history when no emergency existed. Our top military authorities have testified before the Armed Services Committees that there is no immediate danger of war.
