Dear Sir:
We are bitterl, disappointed
at your succumbing to the army a
navy pressure for military conscription
It is conscription if it is compulsory,
regardless what you of They call it
We had hoped you would have the
grace & backbone to rely on the
formation I good will as a basis for
peace, not an force. The united
nations organiz ation is already Thus
sabat aged and the armament race,
instead, is on. when a big proverful
nation adopts conscription its you'll,
how can any other nation trust
any one?
Sincerely
Blamhi E. atkins
