THE POLITICAL PROBLEM IN DELAwARE.

IN HE political problem, I'm Delaware, in other
Il States can only be correctly solved in the best
interests the country by defeat the Democratic
party. That such a statement bears upon its face.
every evidence OF selfish and partisan purpose is
plain; that it is in reality estimate OF the
country's need, may be readily proved.
Everyone will admit that prosperity the first ma
teral requirement for national existence; many will
admit that under the present Democratic adminstra-
ton, the country is measuraby prosperous; only the
unthinking will credit the Democratic party with this
accomplishment
Prosperity is brought about by the involved workings

cal mental labor OF capital, spells a prosperity
whose first essential is the requisite demand That de-
mand at the present time is due almost wholly to the
orders to America. because they could be
filled quickly elsewhere; to the conditions of

labor and TO the DEGREES, blockades orders in

imports from abroad
But when this war is ended when the orders

by stIned foreign competition, will vanish, and the

It is doubtful whether there will be

The overwhelming majority, Demo-
Gratis as we'll as Republicans, will be
in favor of some sort OF prepared
ness. The real issue therefore will
concern the sort of preparedness
which the nation should have Z The
principal division will be between
those who favor an army OF little
more than $4,000 men. with a con-
tinental army of approximately 400
600 men, to be raised in three years
and to be trained for two months each
year. and those who favor "a good
sized professional army.
The advocacy of a standing army OF
100000 men is not wholly confined to
Colonel Roosevelt. The idea originates
among army officers themselves. and
will receive strong support from adj
yocates OF preparedness both in the
Senate and House. II is doubtful
whether the President himself will

According to some interpreters, Mr..
Wilson yesterday recast the Monroe

TO our mind he merely obscured it lit

not a Pan-American doctrine. IL is a
doctrine erunciated and upheld by the.

will provide a more adequate pro-
fessional army if a majority of those
who favor preparedness insist upon
stronger measures than are advocated
by the administration.
There is need for real patriotism
and for the elimination OF partisan
ship IN the solution of this problem.
The advocates Of preparedness in both
the Democratic and Republican
parties should regard the present diff
ferences of opinion as honest diher-
ences. susceptible to a compromise
that will still mean real progress.
The countrJ is not likely to toler-
ate political wire-pulling upon the
issue of national defense. 1t makes
little difference whether the Repub-
licans or the Democrats get the credit
for whatever is 10 be done. The
country will watch closely the ma
tional defense situation as it develops,
and will be able to place a OBTAINING
hand upon men who attempt to block
the program and try to prevent the
Accomplishment OF a real reform by
demanding that their own ideas be
carried out. IL will be quite as irri-
tating to the public to observe a
spirit OF no compromise on the part
Of those who are advocating some
thing less than an adequate army. All
those who favor preparedness should
work together to straighten out their
differences. A division in the camp
OF the advocates OF preparedness may
confuse the country for a time, but
those who are responsible for il

our enlarged army and navy are to pro-
tect our coasts and our territory and
stop at that preparedness should be on
one scale. Ii our military forces are to
back up the Monroe Doctrine and repel
European attempts to partition South
America, after Africa has been com
pletely partitioned. then preparedness
must be on a far larger scale.
Mr.. Wilson does not meet this ques-
tion. He seems to want to hedge on the
Monroe Doctrine merely in order to eX-
cuse halfway preparation. Congress
would do well to put the Wilson theory
of Pan-Americanism asidc-if it is re-
ally a theory and not a rhetorical di-
version. We must build now for the flu
ture-for that uncertain future which
the close of the European war will usher
in. We must keep in view the POSSIBLE
ity that the severest challenge to the
Monroe Doctrine is yet to come.
A Continental army system would be
of no value in protecting American in
terests under the Monroe Doctrine
should they be assailed in such man
ner rs to call for military as well as
naval action. In that case We should
need a real army again.
The new Wilson message, therefore,
holds out little light TO Congress or the
country. The President is follower.
not a leader, in the matter of military
preparation. Congress should take up
the task where he has left it and try
TO rise to the full height of a great
duty-that Of adequately forearming
the United States against the political
after-effects of the European war.
What the President said about the
hyphenates who are now disturbing our
peace is sound in itself. We must pre-
pare to meet their menace by action,
and prompt action. But it must be re-
membered that their disloyal activities
are only a symptom reelection here
of the i'll will in which this country is
held by the governments which inspire
such bush-whacking. We shall have
even fewer friends abroad after the war
is over than we have now. While dis
ciplining the hyphenates we must pre-
pare to meet the far greater peril Of
future European attempts to appropri-
ate American soil and break down the
American system.
