and the views he voiced are far more
advanced than ordinarily men asso-
ciated with big business are willing
to stand sponsor for. He is less
alarmed by the threat of paternaism
than many of his associates, and
there are parts OF his program which
would be termed socialistic coming
from another source.
Public Demand for Control
For example. Mr.. Perkins said:
"Unquestionably there is a public
demand-probab1y growing one
only of the railroads, but of all the
great industrial organizations Of the
nation.
Judging from the present outlook,

would have controlled in about the
same way that banks are under gov

he says:

ton Of the league Of nations the more
often one comes back to the point Of
view of the Europeans. II all ma
tons were equally bound by the or
binary conventions OF good faith and
humanity no league OF nations would
be necessary. But as long as any
nation holds to. the ideas and morals
Germany has held tos for rnore than

prove as worthless as before.

In the process of recon-
49, struction in this country
after the war the military system or
policy is to be one of the most i'm
portant questions. The country will
demand military efficiency and at the
SAME time it will look askance at
any system that smacks of-militarism.
The.>days. when military prepared
ness was described as an academic
caestioh" and the prediction was
made. that a million men would
spring to arms overnight" if the
United States were involved in a
war are gone. The country has
learned, several lessons since then.
The great war has demonstrated that
modern, war, is an affair Of nations,
not Of armies, and that an entire
people must put, their backs into a
conflict today II they are to be sue,
cessful.H The days when small trained
standing armies were sent forth to
do battle when two countries clashed
