Opposition to increased armv and
navy expenditures was expressed by
the Singletax Club of Pittsburg in a
letter to President Wilson on October
%. The letter declares that the Euro
pean war is proof positive that enor-
nous military establishments are not
guarantees of peace and prosperity"
and further that increased expendi-
lures for the army and navy are most
unwise and very dangerous to the
worldwide movement toward democ-
racy, and that the part Of wisdom lies
in devoting the energies Of the nation
to our internal problems of injustice
which are undermining our strength,
and far more threatening than any
foreign foe. And further, that our
foreign diplomantic policy be based
upon the policy Of the thirty peace
treaties, expressing our firm convicz
ton IN the ultimate triumph of the
doctrine that Right makes Might.
