That there was some dtecrtitdns-
tlon between officer* and eidlnt-
cd men.
In order to remedy those evils, tho board
made one general recommendation, from
which many corollaries were drawn. The
general recommendation was that the func-
tion of command should be separated from
the function of appointing general courts-
martial and reviewing their sentence*.
Among other recommendations. ■ lem
ming directly from the general one. were that
the defense counsel and the law member of
each court-martial be trained lawyers' that
commanding officer* be prevented from in-

FYom this conclusion, the “cons” draw
their best argument It would be virtually
impoeaible to maintain laws excluding l£
yaaijol ds from drinking eetablishmenU
Ytotofore, a lowering of morals among
young people would be almost certain to fol
low this removal of legal restraint
These are only a few of the many argu
ments which immediately come to mind The
conservative attitude, '‘Let thing* ride as
they are,” will probably prevail. Perhaps
this is the safest course.
On the other hand, might it be possible
that the untainted idealism of youth is just
the tonic needed to enliven and cleanse Amer
ican politics? The young citisen might fail
to see the “practical” necessity of tolerating
certain political evils. Political expendiency
and selfishness have too long masqueraded
as public necessity and ”mr3tiadSrr^

Mr. Wallstein lamented every move by which
the army sought to escape from the more
democratic suggestions of the Advisory
Board. However, his most pertinent point
ocnosrned the condition and power* or the

strengthen and introduce new thought into

Also, he would allow any man sentenced to
