Congressman Wadsworth was then Senator Wadsworth and as chairman of the military affairs committee of the senate, favored the bi'l and urged its enactment. I know the details because I was one bt those responsible for the preparation of the bill and the effort tp.l pass it. In 1919 we could get it through congress as introduced by b Republican member? President Wilson, however, told us he would veto it, if passed, unless it came to him as an administration measure, and advised that the bill be withdrawn and a new one containing the same pro visions be introduced as an administration measure by a Democratic member. That was done, and ther I a Republican senate and house would not pass it as a Democratic administration measure. Such is the "dog eat dog" atit tude of American politics. Our purpose in proposing such a law was more to preclude the riae of class distinction in America, than to train soldiers, but had it passed.
