Yale Professor Says Our Military
Policy Is fastening It.

New Haven, Feb 4-The United States
is sailing straight toward a highly cen
tralized government. one eXemplifying pa
terralsm, was the opinion expressed by
Professor A. NJ. Wheeler, of Yale, before
one Of his classes in modern European his
tory yesterday. He said:
Passionate demands for larger army and
naval forces come with the acquisition of
a broadly extended domain. A larger mill
tary calls for executive power, as opposed
TO legislative power. and strengthens the
Presidential rather than the popular grip
upon the government Such will be the
outcome of increased mlitarism. The ac-
uCirement of far-off territory also works
for Capitalization Colonies are hard to
hold save by military governorships, sub
ject to the direct appointment of the Ex-
eCutive, and this increases the centripetal
force of the rule"
