I n policy, voiced by half dozen
speakers, featured session of
the National Civic federation In Wash

the discussion with the declaration
that "if the United States Is to pre-
vent the antagonisms and hates of Eu-
rope and its age long traditions Of en-
pire from finding lodgment on this con-
tinent after the war it must be by
the strength Of our own right arm and
by the willingness to die for what is
certainly precious to ourselves and for
what we believe to be no less precious
to humanity"
Whatever might be the outcome of
the war, Mr.. Low said, its results could
not be less than revolutionary upon the
life of the world.
"lf militarism triumphs," he added,
"the Americas, like Europe, must bow
their necks to the yoke of a milltarism
which will give to the soldier rather
than to the citizen the domination of
the future"
Mr. Low said he favored the admin

cause he thought it ideally perfect, but
because it was a long step in the right
direction.

all rather than the business Of all to
protect each other

ed States" he said, rs the military
spirit less dominant than in Switzer-
land, yet Switzerland, because she was
prepared, was able to mobilize all her
men for the protection Of her territory
as quickly as the most military ma
ton, and because she was prepared she
has been able to protect her territory
from violation from the outbreak Of
the war until now. England's navy
has proved her bulwark against attack
at home in this as in other wars, but
1t is appalling to think how many of
her men have been sacrificed in fight
ing on the land because she was unpre-
pared. And now, after suffering ap-
palling losses, she is obliged to resort
to conscription.
"The lesson that seems to me to lie

in spirit Of loyalty to the country

unprepared to cope with the problems

to the system Of volunteer army she
