NEEDLESS EXPENDITURE.

Much is being written these days
about the unpreparedness of the
Uuited States for war, and President
Wilson's program is for an extraor-
binary expenditure for both army and
navy.
The Herald has never taken much
stock in this theory. Ex-Congressman
Tawney of the First Minnesota dis
trict in discussing this very question
before University students recently,
said in part:
"For ten years or longer there
has been a propaganda for the
purpose of soaring weak-minded
men and women into believing
that our government ought TO
spend great sums to buy battle
ships and war material There
was never a time in our country's
history when there was less ne
cessity. When the nations now ar
war get through with it they will
be bankrupt financially and in
manhood and in no condition to
carry on warfare. There is no
danger of our country going to
war with a foreign nation. But
there are those who, for selfish
purposes, would like to see the
government begin a policy of
buying war machines and NUM-
lions on large scale.
No man in the country is better en-
abled to judge of the nations fitness
for war than Mr.. Tawney. He was for
years chairman of the House finance
committee, during the reign of Teddy,
the Terrible. Just as fast as any for
eign nation launched war snip of a
certain type Mr.. Roosevelt would
rush before congress with a bill pro-
viding for a couple of still larger YES
sells of the same type. AS chairman of
the Finance committee Mr.. Tawney
reported adversely on many If Tedd's
pet schemes and thereat there was
trouble in large chunks.
Supposing Congress should spend
large sums for the latest approved
death-dealing instruments of war
fare by the time the other nations of
the world were really for Il set-to
with Uncle Sam many of these i'm
plements of warfare would be CD
selete. :
A much better plan would be the
spreading of the idea o. universe
