"The selective principle must he car ried to its logical conclusion." the I'reshlent said. And he added there must he made a complete Inventory of the ipiallllca I ions of each registrant in order to determine "the place in the military, industrial or agricultural ranks of the nation In which his ex IHHienee and training can host he made to serve the common good." The Inquiry projected in the ques tionnaire will i;o deep into tho quali fications of each of nearly 10,000,000 men. The .success of the plan and Its completion within the estimated time rests absolutely upon tho whole -1. cart ed support given hy the people, espe cially hy the din-tors and lawyers of each community, and tho President calls upon them for their unsMnted aid.
