DR., Won Payers an embracing prsn
OF this region. which he assures us
must be on broad lines and effected
quickly, IS:
"All must finally become great
united region Of intercourse with uni
form interests Concurrently with the
gradual disappearance OF customs
duties and frontiers. there must be uni
flcation or far reaching reapproach-
ment OF economic legislation, espe-
cially trade and Industrial tariffs and
the care Of labor. Certain forms OF in
direct taxation must be outlined sim
ilarly, and railways, waterways and
other means Of communication must
be made to serve the common inter-
ests"
But there is evidently some latent
fear existing in the mind OF the state
builder, a fear impressed by expert
ences in the present war" which have
shown him that similar training in
arming. equipment and supply sys-
TENS" facilitate the conduct Of war.
He accordingly adds:
political cooperation must be sup
ported by an understanding on military
questions. II the states are bound to-
gether by treaty Of protection, they
must bear proportionately the burdens
OF this protection and all would then
have an Identical interest in the simpli-
flcatiOn and appropriate extension OF
military Institutions"
Cleared Of unnecessary verbiage and
reduced to thoroughly Ineligible Ian
guage this means that Germany shall
furnish equipment. arms and military
supplies to all these states, that she
shall drill and train the armies and
have the general control and command
OF them. In fact. all Of these vassal
states are to supply Germany with an
army to control the world
The beatlfc condition that would
follow this iron rule Of German arms
is thus set forth by Dr.. Won Payer:
"The peace Of Europe will then rest
in the hands OF a united Germany and
and Will be in good
hands"
BY way OF illustration the vice
might add that in July,
1911, the peace Of Europe was in those
good hands" Four years Of world
war and immeasurable horrors were
the result.

Knowing that 70 Is the desire OF President Wilson,

from which we will make our future officers. engineers
for ship yards and chemists The general who expects
to win victory must always have reserve army. and
our reserves for officers and other trained scientists
must come from our undergraduate bodies. The longer
they can take their training az Delaware the better
service they render their country.
England. four years ago, made mistake, natural
and patriotic mistake by letting too many OF her uni
versity and public school boys get into the army, The
result Of this policy, which proves TO have been
shorghied Is that they short OF officers today In
the English Army.

Consequently, the argument 20 be- insofar pos
