Phi Opposes
Peace Draft
One-Sided Voting
Follows Hot Debate
The Phi Assembly Tuesday
night voted almost unanimously
to approve a bill introduced by
Charlie Britt that the United
States work for an international
agreement to abolish compulsory
peacetime military training. De
bate, centered on a corollary
measure introduced by Charlie
Borton that the United States
adopt a temporary system of
post-war military conscription.
The debate, one of the hottest in
recent weeks in the Phi, ended in
the passage of the bill by a vote
of eleven to three. :
Contention of the opposition
was that the passage of the con
scription bill would be a deterrent
to world peace because it would
end in a.race of armament by the
world powers. The supporters
of the bill maintained that con
scription is a necessity at the
present time due to the fact that
world conditions are too unstable
to sacrifice national security.
Charlie Britt, who lead the at
tack against the conscription
bill, said that it would be a grave
error if we adopted the measure
as a national policy, because it
would inevitably result in anoth
er war.
