MILITARISM AND FREEDOM
Nationality is Still on Trial. Because Il Is Capable of
Terrible Perversion.
By DAVID STARR JORDAN
Chancellor, Leland Stanford, Jr., University

One OF the staple arguments
for the War System OF national
organization is its Industrial
value. BY II the working man
learns obedience to authority.
His docility Is an invaluable In
dustrial asset. He will not block
industry by strikes. sabotage OF
syndicalism once he has learned
TO obey. And In a community
thoroughly disciplined. failure 70
obey can be made unpleasant or
perilous. Meanwhile a kindly
paternal government. through en-
ployment insurance. old age pen
sions and the like. can protect
the workman from want with one
hand while the other Il holds him
In his place. Freedom gives the
opportunity TO rise. but also the
liability to fall. A land OF indivi-
dual liberty is a land OF industriai
contrasts. Where varied hui
manity gives place to standard
lied Industrial units, personal
initiative must suffer.
The difference between the two
two ideals indicated IL Sharply
emphasized in Europe to-day.
This divergence Is marked by the
theory and practice OF military
conscription. The actual bond
between the United States ana
Great Britain r. not primarily
that OF blood nor even OF Ian
guage. II lies In the fact that
both nations are essentially
democratic and individualistic,
recognizing the man as the unit
In society. not as a mere indus
trial factor In "the State" which
exists over and apart from the
individuals who compose It,"
The War System involves con-
slant encroachment on the rights
OF the individual. Actual war in
PRODUCES Martial Law, which IN
not law at all. simply the sus-
pension OF ordinary equity. Under
Martial Law every government
whatsoever arrogates to itself
imperial power. The property,
the food. even the bodies Of its
citizens may be seized for the
good of the nation, and that with
out redress. Even crime may be
come military necessity" The
presidents formed by the inva-
sions OF personal rights persist
long after war has ceased. The

ton, the more prone II is 70 rivet
chains on its own people. The
expansion of national power
means, for the most part. the mar
rowing Of individual liberty.

pause to those OF US who remain and

ain to-day. In the stress OF war,
laws are silent while the In
fluence Of militarism steadily
grows. From the London Morn
ing Post Mr.. c. L. Fayle has col
lected certain sentences. sugEes-
tive OF the progressive influence
OF war in a law-abiding nation.
Says the Post:
The absurd talk about this
being a war against militarism
has now subsidized. Only by mill
tarism can we guard against the
abuses OF militarism. War Il N
itself a thing indifferent. being
either bad or good according to
its use and service. Christianity
came into the world less 10
bring peace than a sword. Ade-
quate military preparation Is the
only means yet devised by man
TO avoid the horrors OF war. So
cial reform. land reform, and ali
the other reforms without which
II was supposed the nation could
not live. are gone clean out OF
the picture. Democracy may
still exist. but II II no longer In
evidence. Then war comes, aud
the people perceive that the IN
dividual matters nothing, the
class matters little; what really
counts Is the nation"
This Is. in brief, the political
and social creed OF the War
System. II supresses the indi-
vidual. Il throttles democracy. II
drains the resources Of the peo-
pie. II strengthens the concep-
ton OF the nation as an entity
with an existence apart from the
people who create II. II furnishes
the privileged groups a means or
defense against the rising tide
OF democracy. For when all are
beset by common danger. the
minor equities are forgotten, and
n definite halt is called on every
kind Of social reform.
The spirit Of nationality as
understood in an aggressive
sense. lies behind the interna-
tional conflict OF our day. H.
begets a type OF patriotism
vicious in its influence. because
directed. not toward the welfare
of mankind or even that OF the
fatherland itself. but towards RI.
valry OF other nations. BY such
means, nationality has built its
boundaries in hata

splendid advantages for human
