Commerce Cause Of War.
"Your postmaster has truly said
that men Of military training have
nothing to do with bringing on wars"
said Maj gen. Wood, opening his talk.
WARS spring generally from CONNER
cial competition. We are only called
in to carry 1t on.
Every great project must be or
-
ganized In advance. The same applies
to war; men must be picked out ma
terial accumulated and supplies pre-
pared, and there are very few men in
this country who can make those sup
plies.
The army and navy are the paid
servants of the people and the people
are going to rule. And If they are
going to fight, 1t is almost insulting
to ask them II they are going to be
trained or not. An unframed army is
Of no value. There must be organiza-
ton of all our resources. Almost
every great nation today has its fac
tories, railroads and other resources
so placed that they can be turned in
day to furnish military supplies"
