Universal training is the best means of building up a large pool of trained civilians who could be called upon in times of emergency.

This threat to our liberty and to our faith must be faced by each one of us.

I can express my firm conviction that, at this moment in history, the faith and strength of the United States are mighty forces for the prevention of war and the establishment of peace.

I know that every loyal American citizen desires lasting peace based on freedom and justice for all men.

It was hard for some people to realize at the close of World War II that we could never again retire behind the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans and rely on friends abroad to protect democracy and freedom.

We took a leading part in establishing the United Nations.

The adoption of universal training by this nation at this time would serve notice on the world that our pleas for peace were not mere idle words, but that we had the strength to back up our will for peace.

This is why we must have a selective service law.
