12 per cent OF every dollar paid into

for wars We have fought or for prepa-
ration for wars that have never been
fought"
Undoubtedly there has been enor-
nous waste, due almost entirely 10 our
lack OF system, our failure to follow
the counsel OF our eminent statesmen
and military authorities. Our prepar-
etness has been OF makeshift charac-
ter. enormously costly in life and

We are nov paying a gigantic price

universal military training would have
cost the nation n In continuous appli-
cation since Il was first recommended
by President Washington.
AZ the beginning OF the European
war high officers OF the general staff
told congress that the Swiss system
Of universal training could be put In
operation here for an estimated an
nual cost % 500. 900. 900 An average
OF $4,000 600 a year would have been

preparedness might and probably
would have kept US out OF this war.
for Germany would have hesitated a
long while before provoking US into a
war declaration. The argument that
won Germany TO defiance Of our pro-
tests against submarine atrocities was
the constantly reiterated assertion BY
rs military leaders and It's
that the United States was wholly un-
prepared and could NOT raise. train
and transport armies Ia time to make
m a factor In the European fighting
fronts.
Al the end OF the civil wal the Uni
ted States had a formidable defense
on land and sea. with several million
trained and seasoned soldiers. But
we made the sorry mistake OF stopping
all training OF the country's younger
manhood and allowed our formidable
defenses to i~ntegrate.
