for wars;
That if the present increase Of ar
maments continues second world

of these United States of America to
assume the leadership of the nations

speedy and sweeping reduction of
military and naval armament, and

In an incalculable saving In time and

Whereas, the metric system has
been adopted by the vast majority of
enlightened rations, and its adop-
ton by the United States is caleulat-
ed to promote friendly relations and
commerce with all the world; and !.
