Americans are accustomed to felicitate

armies without bankruptcy. They are

to escape from an intolerable situation
PROFESSIONALLY the European military
burdens are heavy. Italy spends on her
army S5i,000,0 900 a year--over a third as
much MS we spend annually for pensions.
The Austrian army costs $40, 900, 900 year
or nearly half our pension bill. Great Bri-
tain pays $50. 100000 for military purposes
which is three fif,hs the amount of our
annual pension outlay. Germany is taxed
$12O 900. 900 year to support the most eff
ficlent army in Europe. or four-fifths OF
our pension expenditures. The eXtrava-
e'ntly maintained French army absorbs
no less than s13s 600 a year. which is
about eleven twelfths Of our pension ac-
count, Finally, Russia, with wasterul
administration and no public opinion to call
1t TO account spends $li2 900 600 year in
