Description | Cartoon shows a solemn young soldier (labeled "Draft Extension") braced against a huge globe (labeled "World Peace") to keep it from rolling downhill. In the United States the draft was scheduled to end May 15, 1946, but at the urging of President Truman, who cited continued military commitments to the Allies, Congress twice extended the Selective Service Act. It was finally allowed to expire in May 1947. |
