Kennedy asserted:
“When I resigned as ambassador
I said that I hoped to assist the presi

out of war. I can think of no more
patriotic task and one which should
more readily enlist the active support
of every lover of liberty.
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. We
should never take such a grave step
just because we hate Hitler and love
Churchill.

“The people who must suffer and

action was “required in the interests
of the national defense.”
Some of^those who have become
21 since the first registration on
October 16 already have signed up
and volimteered for a year of train-
inig. 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.

quarter, that it is the mission of this
country to spread civil and religious
liberty over all the globe and espec
ially over this continent, even by
force if necessary. 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. In a shoi4 time they will
be ours.
“As a nation we should not let our
aid to Britain become the argument
for direct involvement,
