compared with $3O7 per mile a year

PREPAREDNESS FOR PRESTIGE!

Americans are at last awakening
to the awfulness of their greatest mis-
take We are looking ourselves over
seeing the all-too-peaceful conditions
that have existed in this country. with
two or three Interruptions, in the last
century We are considering the all
too-frightened and frightful conditions
on other countries during the same
century. We are saying to ourselves.
We'll. we won't let such things go on
in this country any longer"
How did we know we would not be
attacked way back in 1880 and gobbled
up by some well-prepared country?
How did we manage to pull through
some of these heated presidential cam
paigns before the war without a big
army garrisoning our forts and mill
tary posts and huge navy patrolling
our coasts? How did we weather the
panic of 1873 without having the COM
bined maneuvers of land and sea fore
es?
We have increased in wealth and
power and world-influence in the last
twenty-five years, while our increase
has been the corresponding decrease
Of every other nation in the world.
with a possible exception of stagnant
China. But our increase is laying us
open to attacks by other nations. and
they, in the exhaustion which will
follow this war and may continue for
a couple of decades after it, will be
able TO punish us for our enjoyment
of peace and prosperity.
Nor is this the only problem before |
us We are confronted with the need of !
an enormous military power to guaran- |
tee the stability OF our extraordinarily |
heavy financial investments in foreign |
countries. In the past all the capital
we had was invested at home. We
knew our investments were good. But
now our capital has begun going into
other countries. and il needs a power
ful militarism to make our invest
ments safe: or. to quote the phrases
of the Navy League and the prepared
ness advocates, to maintain our pres
tige, dignity" and national seIf-re-
spect."
