PUBLIC SPLIT ON LONGER SERVICE
Opposition Feels U. S.|
Would Break Its Promise By Extending Period.
By GEORGE GALLUP
Director. American Institute f Public Opinion
PRINCETON. N. J., Aug. 6.—Four | gections of the country—New Eng-| land, Middle Atlantic, South and} Far West—vote in favor of extend-|
ing the draft training period for longer than one yeal while two sections—the East Centr al and West Central—vote against it in the final] returns of the Institute's survey of public opinion on the issue. Final returns. with all 48 states| represented, show the following: | “Do you think drafted men should be kept in active service for longer than one year, or should | they be released at the end of one |
DARDEN VICTOR IN
If the “no opinion” vote is elimfnated, the division of sentiment among those with opinions on the issue is 53 per cent for keeping the | draftees 47 per cent for releasing them. ‘ The returns by geographical sections are as fellows: Re Ne Keep lease Opinion New England & “ Mid-Atlantic 31% 4% 3% East Central is OS 36 West Central SHEE 32
South viky OF 32 Far West tats knreee 53
Such opposition as Gots to the draft extension does not arise from any lack of public support for the draft system itself.
Institute surveys have shown that] more than 90 per cent of the Amer-|
ican voters approve the way the draft is being handled. Opposition stems from the fact that many people throughout the country interpreted the Draft Act to mean a promise by the Government that the men would be drafted
tor only one year, even though the | measure did outline certain circum-|
stances under which the training} could be extended for a longer)
period. The chief reason given by voters who oppose keeping the draftees is that “the Government should not go back on its promise.”
