In my opinion it would be a capital blunder for quotas to be based upon number of men in first class instead of total registration. The people are expecting the quotas to be the same as in the first draft. Any change would produce infinite irritation. Again, I have been endeavoring to get the largest number possible in class one. Nearly every unmarried man in the State is being placed in the first class. If this class should be the basis of quotas Local Boards would at once want to reclassify so as to place the smallest number possible in class one. The suggested change in the law would be a powerful incentive to reduce class one to a minimum. I hope you will oppose this change.
