Preparedness For-What?

WE do not know, nor does anyone else, how immi-
" nent the danger of war involving the United
States may be.
We hope that there is nothing of the kind in the
offng. But it is apparent that the folk who are rum
ming things in Washington believe that this country
should put itself in position where it can protect
itself if necessary.
Sometimes the best way to keep out of war to be
prepared to fight if threatenedand to let the other
fellow know that we are stronger than he is We get
the impression that some such theory underleS the
revived talk of great program of national defense
We do not understand that anyone fears an actual
invasion of the United States, though Gen. Main
Craig Chief Of Staff, says we ought to have lot
more anti-aircraft guns and searchlights to guard
against attack from the air.
The President has suggested that need much
larger fighting force than we have now There is talk
of asking Congress to appropriate money to increase
military planes from the present goal of about
2,3O0 to nine or ten thousand.
At the same time we are building the biggest navy
America has ever had. Six new battleships, 40 new
destroyers, 16 new submarines, four cruisers and
lot Of smaller vessels already either under con-
struction or authorized
The question naturally rises: What do we need
such big navy for if We do not expect to be attack
ed? We certainly don't expect to attack anybody.
The answer is found in the recent utterances of
the President on the subject of the solidarity of in
terest of all the nations of the American continent
north and south. It has been fixed policy of the
United States for more than 100 years that we will
not stand for any European nation establishing col
onies or otherwise getting foothold anywhere in
America.
Under the Monroe Doctrine it is up to the United
States to resist any attempt by Germany, Italy any
other country to get control of any part of South
Central America.
There have been many signs indicating that
another of the totaltarian nations is eager to get
possession of Brazil If this country has to fight it
seems more likely that it will be to protect Brazil and
other American nations from foreign penetration
than to repel invaders in the north.
Apparently we getting all set for defense, and
that fact alone may be enough to prevent any nation
from trying to put something over.
