Opposition to Compulsory Military Training, 1945-03-14

The letter is from George B. Schwabe, a representative in Washington, responding to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Collins' protest against compulsory military training for young people. Schwabe agrees with their views and expresses his intention to defend the lads and prevent them from being herded into the Army. The Collins express their concerns about losing their freedoms and advocate for alternative forms of military training, such as ROTC courses in high schools and colleges. They also request Schwabe's assurance that he will prevent the bill from passing quickly without thorough study.
