Time Enough After War.
After the war has ended it will be
time enough for the United States to con-
slider the question of whether it desires
to become a military country or not. Then
We will be able to tell what kind Of policy
Germany and Great Britain will pursue.
THE United States is in a position
to raise a great army and build a great
navy more quickly than any other ma
ton. We have all the natural re-
sources in this country and we could
carry on such war as that now
waging abroad for a hundred years if
we had to. l think the people in this
country who are talking about build
ing up a great army have gone crazy.
When we had an army of $4,000 men

afraid of being attacked by foreign
power"
Favors Special Session.
Senator vardaman said he was
strongly in favor of having a special
session of the Senate In October and
November for the purpose of passing
upon pending treaties and of revising
the rules of the Senate.
II do not sympathize with those who
say that it would be inadvisable to
have the Senate in session, in view of
the acute foreign situation, and that
the President should not be compelled
to have Congress on his hands at
such a time. There is just as much
patriotism in the Senate as there is
in the White House. and, I believe.
just as much intelligence and just as
much experience in craftsmanship. !
think that it Is not fair to the Senate
to presume things will be done or said
to embarrass the President in his
handling of the European situation if
the Senate were in session. I rather
think that such a presumption is a
reflection upon the patriotism OF the
Senate"
