"Well, l went at it, hammer and

Let's not get too excited over ma
tional preparedness for war. It's just
as easy to go too far as it is to have
insufficient equipment and men-and
perhaps more so. Every concern that
would profit by the immense spendings
of the government in the case of a
great appropriation is, of course. lend
ing every ounce of its influence for
preparation. And this influence is a
large one in the present heat about
preparedness.
