NEW YORK, Feb. 10.--Former President Taft in an address deliver ed here yesterday afternoon express- ed the belief that the whole world would be involved in the war which is now devastating the nations of Eu- rope. He said the situation in Amer ica was fast becoming similar to hat of Europe as bombs were being sx~. ploded with loss of life. property wat being destroyed and former friends were turning to foes. .''.,.'
 He beneved that the United States should adopt no half-way policy in. dealing with the question of national defense, and that congress should either provide complete prepared ness or abandon all plans for making America one of the great powers of the world. He declared that the Eu- ropean war had convinced him that nations commanded respect from Oth- CT nations through force of arms. He did not believe with the advocates of peace that the time would ever come when argument or diplomacy would prove more power than force to pre- vent a nation from being despoiled.
