We should be guided by Fundamental

Collective protection like that
which individuals enjoy through civ
ilized government, is more effective
in the end and more economical
like all cooperative enterprises, but
until government over the nations
Is finally established that demon
strates its ability to protect the in
dividual nations. these nations must
make their own Individual provision
for protection. The organized de-
lenses OF nation are of two kinds.
land forces, based on organizing the
male population into armies, and sea
forces and air forces. based on
wealth, by which property instead OF
men insure protection.
OF these two kinds naval forces
and air forces are preferable, especi-
ally for country with free institu-
tions. The republics of history have
been founded upon naval power. like
Anglo Saxon institutions, permitting
the population to dispense with mill
tarism and the centralized institu-
tions based on the same.
The great nations OF continental
Europe however, with land frontiers,
have naturally been compelled to
keep their people organized into
armies and their examples have been
followed by japan with its territorial
ambitions extending to continental
Asia. In this way, America finds
herself in the midst OF an armed
