New Areas of Work , The collective clamor that would have gone up from American throats would have issued indiscriminately from Republicans and Democrats. No family with a son in service would have supported the proposition ; neither would any family with a son eligible for the draft. ; s ~ ~â€" No, there are plenty of counts on which the adâ€" ministration can be indicted. Discharging the vets of World War II is not one of them. . Fourth Annual Educational Workshop Surely it is too soon for all of us to have forgotten the "point system" for discharging members of the armed forces, while the war in the Pacific was still fresh. No United States government could have stayâ€" ed in power beyond the next election had it announced that the armed forces would be reduced only slightly and that no man, whose job was considered essential to those forces, would be released until an entirely adequate and satisfactory replacement was available. No government could have stayed in power here beâ€" yond the next election if it had continued the fullseale draft to provide the basis for such replacements. As Republicans we are not prone to offer much aid or comfort to the incumbent administration; we think there are many counts on which it couldâ€"be inâ€" dicted for failing to recognize and even try to act on the realities of the postâ€"war world; we don‘t think that disbanding the armed forces too rapidly and too soon is one of them. * LETS BE HONEST Practical politicians know that it is axiomatic that "not enough of the people will remember," whether the remembering involves a campaign promâ€" ise that can‘t be kept or a job that can‘t be delivered. Sometimes, however, that truth backfires, and it is possible that one reaction to the Korean situation may be one of those times. _ We refer to what appears to be a growing beâ€" lief that the administration disbanded our armed forces too rapidly and too soon.
