There are some among us who sin cerely believe that the welfare of the United States requires us to become a belligerent. But they give us slogans. They seek to stir our emotionp.

A provision of the draft law allows voluntary service by men 18 to 21. The July 1 date was chosen, it was understood, in order that men reg istering then would. have ttnae to find out before fall whether or not they mi^t be expected to be called for duty. Thk would permit thm to plan ahead for Oieir fall and winter woric or educational sched ules. . Officials said the manner of to- tegrating these new men with die first group of draftees would woodt this way: . Each man will get a registratkm number when he signs up. Ea^ of the 6,900 areas thus will have a N<k 1, No. 2, etc. One set of coneepoad- ing numbers then will be drawn to the national lottery. If “50” was the first number drawn, that would he “order No. 1,” and men holding the number 50 would be the first to! the new registrants called to serve if there was no reason to defer their training. The expectation is that thousands of the men registered July 1 will be called for service withto a few months even though they are put at the end of their local draft litos. Officials said that local boards wfll be inclined to ’go quickly throuid^ their older registrants in order to reach men who have neither de pendents nor essential enmloyment and are at an age which the army wants.

It is a sad delu sion.’ “These words,” Kennedy sdid, “are as compelling, as fresh, as convincing and as timely^ as though they camr over the Washington wire this very morning.” Continuing, he said: “I am particularly unimpressed by the hysteria which I suspect is con sciously stimulated by the idea that we are in danger of militanr attack. We do not believe that any nation could secure a concentration of bases whidh would encircle us as Britain is now' encircled. “Every day that passes makes the prospect of attack less tenable. A two-ocean navy, a large army, an in comparable air force—all these are %oa the way.
