Increased Armatnents
Just Why Are We Arming?-A Better Diplomacy
Might Serve Same Purpose.

force than We need for an actual
conflict, let us say with Japan in
Japanese waters, plus constant reit-
erations of aims from which, II chal-
lenged, we retreat, has been a colossal
failure. Yet there is no departure
from this policy indicated In the new
rearmament program.
Our policy in China has failed. We
did not maintain 1t when Manchu-
kuo was invaded, we did not maintain
1t when the fighting began around
Peiping last July, and it is very great
question whether we would have main
tanned 1t II We had had twice as big
a Navy as we have at present. What
stopped us was not an insufficiency
Of force, but lack of lucidity in aims
The impetus given to the increase
IN our armaments is unquestionably
due to the situation in China and the
fear OF the democratic world of ag-
gressive Fascism. There is a great
deal OF talk of the democratic coun-
tries standing together. But stand
ing together for what? To defend the
peace? The peace in China has been
wantonly broken. But the British gov
eminent has made a bargain with
Japan not to allow munitions to reach
China through Hongkong and Canton,
and the French have made bargain
to keep munitions from reaching
China through Indo-China, so that
China is now effectively blockaded
by the French and the British, and
can get no aid by sea, except across
the Mongolian Desert from Russia.
Will We concur in this policy? If we
do, We don't need big navy to sup
port it.
Wolf! Wolf! Pals.
These are matters which ought to
be discussed and deliberated in this
country. But. to demand delibera-
ton has become, for some curious rea-
son. reactionary. They ought to be
deliberated. because the surest possible
way to get into war is to 70 Gala
hading around the world, making con-
tinual shows OF force that one does
not mean. BY and by people catch
on to it. You can't cry Wolf! Wolff"
forever.
And the net effect of rearmament
without policy will be, fear, not to
terrify aggression into defeat, but to
mobilize it into action. For If az
gressive countries see us arm, but still
doubt whether We know what we are
arming for, they will act on an esti-
mate OF risks. They will think, on the
basis of what has happened before,
that the risk is not really as great as
the armed power seems to indicate, but
that 1t is obviously less great now
than it will be when we have spent
another billion dollars for ships and
guns and men.
What interests do We genuinely in,
tend to defend? What treaties will
We risk war to maintain? What police
powers are We willing to share? When
We know the answer to these we will
know whether We need a billion dol
lars more for arms or many billions
more, or whether We don't need any
more at all.

or even upon the size and number of
their guns. The world is afraid of
Germany because the world thinks
Germany means what she says.
The loss Of prestige OF Great Brit
| ain, the United States and France is
not due to the fact that they are un-
armed. They began to lose prestige
long ago, before the rapid armament
of Italy and Germany constituted any
real military threat. They began to
lose it when it became more and more
apparent that they had committed
themselves to grandiose promises
which, If challenged they would aban-
don.
Indispensable Word.
Right now, for instance, it is i'm
possible to guess to what extent any
OF the democratic countries mean what
they say, Oechoslovakia has a mill
tary alliance with both Russia and
France. If Czechoslovakia is attacked
BY Germany, will either country come
to her aid? Is the answer in the least
certain?
The independence Of Austria was
guaranteed by the League Of Nations,
that is to say. by all the powers of
Europe. But when in 1884 that inde-
pendence was threatened by a Nazi
coup, only one European nation DEM
onstrated visibly that it would act. and
that was another Fascist nation,
Italy.
The British played q most disin-
genuous game with Ethiopia, listening
quite sympathetically to Mussolini's
dreams in the 1920s, when Austen
Chamberlain was foreign minister,
when the British policy was anti
Russian, and when Britain and Italy
were warming up to each other. It
reversed that policy when Ethiopia
was actually invaded, then behind the
| back Of the League of Nations, the
British foreign minister, Sir Samuel
Hoare and the French foreign min
lister, Laval, tried to make deal With
Italy: this was rejected by public
opinion at home, calling for sanctions;
the sanctions were not really applied,
partly because the British Military
Intelligence believed that Mussolini
would get stuck in Ethiopia anyhow,
and the result was another lamenta BILE
loss Of prestige.
Why the Increase?
Similar cases could be almost indefi-
nitely cited and they all add up to the
conclusion that aggression is on the
march in the world, not because there
are not sufficient arms or sufficient
military power to stop it, but because
there is not real policy.
The question which must arise in
anybody's mind in considering the
proposal to greatly increase our Navy
is: For what purpose are We increasing
it? Are we really increasing it because
We do not think we have sufficient
power to defend our own seacoasts?
am under the impression that We
already have fighting establishment
much larger than sufficient to protect
us against invasion We already have
surplus of force. We are going to
increase this surplus to defend our
interests" but what those Interests"
are. and whether with however big 4
Navy we would actually defend them
is question.
The fact is that our policy of having
more force than we need for the
modest aims of self-defense, and less
