![["The document is a letter from Reverend Thos. B. Talley to George B. Schwabe, expressing opposition to the proposed peace-time military conscription act. Talley argues that conscription would destroy liberty, not promote national defense or democracy, and would have negative health consequences. He urges Schwabe to use his influence to prevent the legislation from being enacted."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_69_0000-Labor,%201945/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_69_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Opposition to Peace-Time Military Conscription Act")
