Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Case for Voluntary Service: The Handbook of the Voluntary Service Committee It is sometimes said that the principle of voluntary service is so secure, and the attack on it so little likely to be successful, that elaborate arguments in its defence are unnecessary. The writers of this book do not take this view. They believe that it is dangerous to leave any accepted principle undefended when it is exposed to constant and organised attack by a zealous body of propagandists. They have, therefore, attempted in this volume to supply a full and careful account of the reasons which, in their opinion, render it imperative that the voluntary system of recruiting should be retained in the United Kingdom and a firm resistance offered to all efforts to establish the principle of compulsion. Much has already been written on the moral and social aspects of this question and the importance of these can never be exaggerated; but the special object of this book is to explore the military and strategical points of view and to show that the voluntary system of recruiting, which now obtains in our Regular Army and Territorial Force, is better suited than any other to the special needs and conditions of the British Empire.
