found shock to a great body of the
American people.
I'VE believe that the knowledge OF
this program has come to three-quar-
tiers Of the American people as great
surprise. II Is n program utterly diff
ferent from that given when the plan
of the jamestown exposition was first
submitted TO the public.
THAT an international naval and
military celebration was to have con-
spfcuous place in the exposition pro-
gram, as provided for by Congress In
granting aid for that purpose in 1906,
was well known, and was conventional
ly proper; but the purpose to make this
great exposition primarily naval and
military spectacle TO intoxicate the
American people for six months by n
great living picture of war with all
Its enticing spleundors;' encouraging
the notion that war is thing of splen-
dor. a pageant and game instead Of
