Mr.. Weiss anti-miltaristic outburst.
You ask: what has President Wilson done
for preparedness" might, in turn, question
YOU: what have you done?" Why pass the
buck up to our Chief Executive? You claim

you not think that by preparing yourself you

Why not try a term Of enlistment in local

Another quotation from your letter: mo

quately prepared" When will that day arrive
and when will you consider that We are ade-

Don't be helpless. Don't sit quiet and LEI
others do your duty for you. Help the

months. Not new warship has been laid
down, nothing has been done to increase the
army save TO authorize the addition of pal
try 10000 men to the regular force. No con-
sideration has been given 10 meeting the
ressing foreign trade problems that will
confront US at the conclusion OF peace. No
adequate provision has been made for enlarg-
ing the merchant marine in order that we
may be Independent Of the shipping Of other
nations. And great industrial questions at
home have been ignored as though they did

Yet the whole political and commercial face
of the world has changed since the beginning
o. August 1914.
Congress has debated for nearly two years.
There is no agreement on anything. The
Administration failed 10 read the signs Of the
times at the beginning, and 1t has only be-

industrial statecraft and in the first reader

are as blind as those in Office. They are en-
gagged in a fight for control of the party or
Plantations in the various states. What man

Of any great policies. Principles are ignored.

Yet our only hope at present is in the
scientific and technical men. They have
been too easy-going and have not taken
sufficient pains TO explain their aims and
purposes to the public. II is only by doing
so that they can hope TO bring pressure TO
bear on legislators. The vast Importance
of cheap water power is little understood
and il is only by patient effort that tho en-
gineers can hope TO influence tho people
and through them the lawmakers. A little

as Mr. Tone aptly observes, "when future
generations begin to SILVER for want of
coal and TO starve for want of nitrogen
the present generation will be remembered
not as champions Of the preservation of
scenic beauty, but rs champions of the
ugliness Of wasted resources" In the re-
