‎Eleanor Roosevelt Defends Universal Military Training – and 18 year-old Voting Rights‎

‎<p>"<i>I suppose you can say that anything which is obligatory is in some degree similar to communism or fascism. The only difference here is that we the people are consulted and it is our representatives through whom we speak… I think you are a trifle emotional when you call 18 year old men children. I think they should be allowed to vote…. Of course there are inequalities and injustices in any big undertaking.</i>"</p><p>"<i>I am sorry if you feel that you can not trust your government…. You can not expect always to have one man who will carry the burdens of the whole democracy and express their thinking for them. Now we have to do it for ourselves.</i>"</p><p>"<i>We are not alone in Korea many nations are represented … but we have to bear the brunt … because we were spared during the last war from war in our own country and therefore today we are the strongest nation in the world.</i>"</p><p>"<i>A mothers' rebellion would certainly be a novel and interesting undertaking because there would be a division even among the mothers. I do not know nor could I tell you exactly how you could find out how many men in Congress have eighteen year old sons but I am sure there are a great many who have.</i>"</p><p>A rich and fascinating letter by one of the twentieth century's most powerful first ladies.</p> <b>ELEANOR ROOSEVELT.</b>Typed Letter Signed to Flora E. Shirah February 27 1951. 2 pp. 7¼ x 10¼ in.<p><b>Complete Transcript</b></p><p><i>Val-Kill Cottage / Hyde Park Dutchess County / New York</i></p><p><i> February 27 1951</i></p><p><i>Dear Mrs. Shirah:</i></p><p><i>The Universal Military Training Bill which is now being considered will mean that eighteen year olds will enter Universal Military Training because most boys will be finishing their high school and there will be less upset if they do their military service then whether they are going to work or whether they are going to college.</i></p><p><i>If they are college material they will probably be sent for college training since great care will be taken not to deplete our essential leadership either for skilled people in medicine engineering etc.</i></p><p><i>I do not attribute the motives that you do to our representatives. We have delayed in accepting Universal Military Training until we accepted the fact that we were going to have for a number of years a situation in which we would have to be constantly prepared unless the USSR was to feel free to attack us. Since that is the case we must now have Universal Military Training.</i></p><p><i>I suppose you can say that anything which is obligatory is in some degree similar to communism or fascism. The only difference here is that we the people are consulted and it is our representatives through whom we speak when we accept a measure of this kind because we decide that it is necessary.</i></p><p><i>I think you are a trifle emotional when you call 18 year old men children. I think they should be allowed to vote. I think you are wrong in saying that in the last war men received one to two years of training. Some men may have stayed in training camps that long for various reasons but not because it was essential to give them that amount of training.</i></p><p><i>Of course there are inequalities and injustices in any big undertaking.</i><2></p><p><i>I am sorry if you feel that you can not trust your government. I feel that we have some very fine men as our representatives and I feel that they react to what citizens want. You can not expect always to have one man who will carry the burdens of the whole democracy and express their thinking for them. Now we have to do it for ourselves.</i></p><p><i>We are not alone in Korea many nations are represented on that frontier and their support is valuable but we have to bear the brunt as we will have to bear the brunt in many other undertakings because we were spared during the last war from war in our own country and therefore today we are the strongest nation in the world.</i></p><p><i>A mothers' rebellion would certainly be a novel and interesting undertaking because there would be a division even among the mothers. I do not know nor could I tell you exactly how you could find out how many men in Congress have eighteen year old sons but I am sure there are a great many who have. I am getting into the group where my grandsons are getting ready for service.</i></p><p><i>Incidentally any boy who is in school will be permitted to finish the school year.</i></p><p><i>There is no biography and probably can not be for many years of my husband. There is so much material that the historians will have to work over it for a long while.</i>"</p><p><i>I understand your emotional reaction but I hope you will think this question over carefully and realize that you have in the man power office a very careful adviser Mrs. Anna Rosenberg who will look after the interests of our young people. Her only son served in Europe during the last war.</i></p><p><i> Very sincerely yours</i></p><p><i> Eleanor Roosevelt</i></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>In his final State of the Union Address in January 1945 President Franklin D. Roosevelt briefly mentioned his intention to support the creation of a universal military training program after World War II ended. In October 1945 President Harry Truman recommended a specific Universal Military Training UMT plan to a joint session of Congress which held hearings but largely chose to ignore the President's request because of funding concerns. Opponents insisted that the atomic age had rendered large armies obsolete.</p><p>Truman asked for UMT in successive years but largely ignored his request. However the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 brought the issue to the fore again. Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson forwarded his agency's program to Congress with the note that "recent events in Korea have only served to emphasize the fact that universal training is an essential element of an integrated and balanced system of national security." The President continued to support UMT but other issues directly related to the war were more pressing.</p><p>The issue resurfaced when the Senate Armed Services Committee held more extensive hearings on the proposed Universal Military Training and Service Act of 1951. George C. Marshall who had come out of retirement to succeed Johnson as Secretary of Defense testified that "in every national emergency…our military efforts have been hampered our very national existence has been imperiled by the lack of trained reserves."</p><p>On February 10 1951 Mrs. Flora E. Shirah wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt regarding the state of the nation. Although Shirah had no children subject to UMT she found the bill "little short of criminal." "I say it smacks of Communism to draft 'children'" she continues. "Congress will make a serious mistake if they pass such a bill and our country has already made too many." She assures Roosevelt that "I am not just ranting about this subject." She had two sons from her first marriage the older of whom "expects to be called back anytime now in the Air Force." The younger Charles Gerald Royce 1932-2000 turned 19 on January 14 1951 and had enlisted in the Air Force after graduation. Shirah goes on "they are my only children but I still insist if my son were still in high school and only eighteen and a law was passed to draft him I should heartily dispise the men who would pass that sort of legislation." She tells Eleanor that if FDR were still alive "there would not be the unrest distrust and lack of faith in our Government." She and her neighbors do not believe there is "a firm sure hand at the wheel of our Government" and "We believe that some day the mothers of this country will rebel and form their own union in defense of what they consider the right and fair thing to do." She closes by telling Eleanor that she is reading the book her son Elliott Roosevelt wrote and asks Eleanor to suggest a good biography of her husband "for whom I always had a great admiration."</p><p>Shirah also wrote to Senators Robert A. Taft of Ohio and Brien McMahon of Connecticut and President Harry Truman. She had received a response only from Senator McMahon.</p><p>Roosevelt's patient response to Shirah offered here is a strong defense of Universal Military Training to meet the threat of the U.S.S.R. While sympathetic to a mother's concerns Roosevelt makes clear her support for UMT. Acknowledging that large programs often have "<i>inequalities and injustices</i>" she also defends Congress and American involvement in Korea while offering a primer in citizen responsibility.</p><p>At the end of her letter Roosevelt assures Shirah that America's youth had a strong advocate in Anna Rosenberg 1902-1983 who served as Assistant Secretary of Defense in charge of manpower from November 1950 to January 1953.</p><p>When Dwight D. Eisenhower superseded Harry Truman as president UMT lost its most vocal supporter. Congress retained the option of selective service which led to the very unpopular Vietnam War draft.</p><p><b>Eleanor Roosevelt</b> 1884-1962 was born in New York City was tutored privately and attended an English finishing school. In 1905 she married her distant cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt. They had six children one of whom died in infancy. She actively supported her husband's political ambitions campaigning for him and representing him when he was Governor of New York 1929-1932 and President 1933-1945. After FDR's death Harry S. Truman appointed Eleanor Roosevelt as the first U.S. Representative to the United Nations where she served from 1947 to 1953. She also served as the first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights. In 1961 John F. Kennedy appointed her as the first chair of the Presidential Commission on the Status of Women.</p><p><b>Flora E. Wyse Royce Shirah</b> 1906-1992 married Wingate Royce 1898-1961 a stone setter in 1928. By 1930 they lived with his mother in Middletown Connecticut. In 1940 she and her two sons lived with her mother in a suburb of Hartford. She divorced Royce and married Zelmar Shirah 1905-1971 an Alabama-born stone setter. They divorced in 1954. From the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s she worked as a bookkeeper for Pratt & Whitney manufacturers of aircraft engines.</p> books‎
