Dear Mister President:
A
Today I listened to your address
before Congress. Of late I have been very much prosed to
peace time military training, - because of what war-time
training and service did for many of our country's morally
best young men - trained them to smoke and drink.
I was pleased to note that twice in your address you
referred to morality. And unless you can assure the christian
fathers and mothers that their sons will be protected from
drink and kindred evils during military training they must
vigorously oppose it.
Most sincerely yours,
Don Parnold
Don P. Arnold.
