WsN We Eves .Leorq,9 !.

AS we contemplate the causes of war
and realize its horrors, every right
thinking man and woman must feellike
demanding that some steps be taken to
prevent its recurrence. An important
step would be to curtail expenditures
for the maintenance of navies and
armies.
The estimates recently presented to
our Congress for the naval and mill
tary services contemplate an appro-
priation for the next fiscal year of more
then $5,000,0OO for every working day
in the year.
1t is a gloomy commentary upon
world conditions that expenditures
several times greater than ever be-
fore in peace times should be considered
necessary, especially when the most
rigid economy in governmental ad-
mlnlstratlon is essential if NC would
avoid national bankruptcy.
The world does not seem to learn
from experience. 1t would appear
that the lessons of the last six years
should be enough to convince every
body Of the danger Of nations striding
up and down the earth armed to the
teeth. But no one nation can reduce
armaments unless all do.
Isn't it, then, tiMe for an awakening
among enlightened peoples to the end
that the leading powers may reach
some rational agreement which would
not only relieve the world of this
terrible financial load, but which in it
self would be a long step toward the
prevention of war?
Ours is not an aggressive nation.
We want no territory and we have no
designs on other people. If other
nations have the same attitude, it
seems unreasonable not to believe that
all will be willing to prove it by con-
sentMg to limit armaments. Unless
some such move be made, we may we'll
ask ourselves whether civilization does
not really reach point where it begins
to destroy itself and whether we are
thus doomed to go headlong down
through destructive war and darkness
to barbarism. General John j. Perish

It's Up To U.s.!

In future no nation can rely upon its
preparedness unless it conducts these
(civiD activities in time of peace with
view to their best employment in war.
Military utility will then be a large
and frequently a controlling factor in
determining the nature of it's industries,
the training of it's workmen, and even
the use of it's land for agricultural pur-
poses. The status of the
civilized part of the world will be
literally that of an armed truce, with
it's entire population ready for prompt
mobilization, industrial as we'll as
military. And that status will grow
to be so intolerable that war itself may
come to be regarded as a relief.
Why should not the United States
say to the nations: eve
will agree with you that each nation
that so desires shall keep and build
whatever frontier and coast fortifca-
tions it wishes Fortiications cannot
stride cross the earth, devasting fields
and destroying cities.
We will agree with you that each
nation may maintain its navy. No
navy without an army can conquer aud
hold foreign territory.
we will agree with you on date
when we shall simultaneously abolish
any military system which is solely
necessary for international war.
eve will agree with you on date,
as remote as the existing conditions
make absolutely necessary, when we
shall begin the gradual reduction of
our armed forces until they are at the
limit necessary for the maintenance of
internal order. We will
trust to the ultimate good sense Of the
common peoples of the nations who
suffer most from excessive ornaments,
to see to it that when the movement
has once begun it is pushed as rapidly
as may be to its proper limit.
We will agree with you on the
proper, amounts ofmaterial to be kept
on hand for the reduced forces. And
we will further agree with you to cease
the manufacture Of material until the
amounts now on hand are reduced to
what we agree upon as necessary for,
the reduced forces''
Why should not the Unised States
take the lead in the definite proposal
and demand for reasonable Limitation
of armaments? Who can do it better
than We?- General Tasker III. Bliss in:

Class Hatred.
We hear much talk addressed to-
the general public about there being
no classes in America, and this is gem
orally the background for attacking,
farmer or labor leaders for the alleged
crime Of getting these toilers to look
more to their own interests. An ap-
peal for an adequate rural credits sys-,.
TEN, for instance, is denounced as a.
class appeal. .ss
Yet, everyone will realize, if he
stops to reflect a minute, that class
plays an important part in American.
life. We do not mean that it should
but that it actually does We have.
heard many little capitalist and
near capitalist in the large cities rave
because he had heard that the farm
ers (some of them) had. automobiles.
When depression struck farm prices,
hs msz Ssl.d of il, bssauss tha farR-
ers were getting too lazy and inde-
pendent.
But this was not his real reason for
wishing the farmers hard luck. Back
in his mind was the fear that the farm
ers might get out of the gheWers of
wood and drawers of water class, and
be more nearly on an equality with
himself. There is not SO much social
advantage in having an automobile,
if farmers and wage workers can have
them, too.
We recall also the society woman
Of Minneapolis who told her Swedish
seamstress that she thought God had
ordained the Swedes to do manual
labor. In every large center there
are different layers of society, in each
Of which the members have this jeal-
Gus, un-Christian attitude toward
those assumed to be beneath them.
These people judge their own well-be-
ing by the relative misfortunes of
others. If one with this feeling could
by turn of the hand, bring about
some great improvement in the well
fare of farmers or workers, he would
refuse to do it.
Those with this class-pride and
class-hate in their hearts are the ones
who do most Of the talking about farm
ers asking class legislation We
must count on their opposition al
ways, because they regard any i'm
provement in the lot Of toilers on the
farm and in the factory as a blow at
their social prestige.
On the other hand, we are glad to
note an increasing number Of people
acting on the principle that they
would like to see everyone in the
world as well off as they are, judging
their own happiness by the amount
they can contribute to the welfare OF
their fellows. And we might add
that the so-called wicked agitators,
denounced by the selfish class climb
ers for making "class appeals" are Of
this superior moral type. They be
lieve that man, as man, has a right
and ought to be more than newer
of wood and a drawer of water for
the privileged. They proclaim that
the Individual human soul, even if
its bodily tenement is clothed in over
alls, is of immeasurable value. 1t is
not to be used by others.

begin such movement than now. : : :
Now that the most devastating war
in history has left Europe economi-.
acally prostrate, it is crime against
humanity that suffering peoples of
Europe are compelled to make even
greater sacrifices than before the war
for the maintenance of armies and
navies. "A radical reduction in arma-
ments would be the most effective
means Of fastening the restoration Of
the economic equilibrium of the world
No country has greater interest
than the United States in bringing
about that result. s.@.
Paul d Crapahb
Conditions before. duridg and since
the great war demonstrate that re-
newed rivalry in naval power would
be the height, OF unwisdom.
Economic preparedness must finally
dominate even in ! resort to force,
for under modern conditions the most
powerful navy can neither force trade
nor conserve it,
North America, Of all the world, re-
quires neither armies nor; navies for
domestic protection or foreign influ-
ence. It's transcendent obligation is
to demonstrate this to a world whose
shattered misery has proved the futil-
Eity Of aggressive reliance on force.
Adm Short
America should herself disarm, and
thus set to mankind the unparalleled
example Of a nation brave enough to
trust its neighbors and wise enough
to bid for peace. Such an act would
do more to bring security to America,
and confidence and strength to the.
disordered world. than any other one
thing that can be conceived.
