tary strength, her best chance to keep on top in Europe, and never disarmed after the war to any ex- tent. Britain Jagged, but the rise of a new military power in Fascist Italy kept the total mounting. New nations like Poland and Czecho-slo- vakia, and revamped countries like Turkey, Hungary and Yugoslavia sought prestige and security in mi- litary strength.
 Then when Germany cast off the treaty restrictions and leaped with a rush back to her old military pro- minence, all bounds were broken. In the Czech crisis, 100000 soldiers of three countries stood to arms in mere preliminary mobilizations. SCUTTLED
 SHIPS
 The naval rivalry between Great Britain and Germany was one of the causes of the World War. The German navy was scuttled in 1919. Britain had no rival at sea, because the United States fleet, roughly her equal, was not considered a rival.
 At Washington in 1921, at Geneva and Rome, and at London in 1930, effort after effort was made to keep the international naval race within bounds. Britain and the United States made real sacrifices in ships built, building, and pro- jected, to hold down this race. But none of the plans brought per- manent solution.
 One by one the limitations went by the boards, and today the way is wide open toward unrestricted naval armamentS. The recent de-

PROGRESS MADE SINCE THE WAR TO END ALL WAR

velopment of the fleets of the al into more than a mere auxiliary t land and naval forces, into q striH ing force of its own which many bd lieve might be decisive, has put new face on the whole problem.
 The United States faces a di1 ferent arms problem in 1888 tha| she has ever faced before. In tn past. dominance of the friend] British fleet in the Atlantic ha been considered so great that tH United States could concentra1 much of its naval force in the Pa cific. Now it is believed that con ditions require strong force both oceans, especially since tH Panama Canal might be so readil closed by air attack.
 For the first time, continent United States has become a possib| target for air attack, and for til first time American cities begin demand something of the defensi1 measures Europe knows too well.

the times technically and negligible in size.
 The World War made certain that another war will be total war" That is, every person, every resource, every energy, every thought, must be concentrated on winning. Everything becomes a part of the war machine, no oppo- sition, no debate, no private ends, no withholding, can be tolerated.
 That is war today, and scarcely a person doubts it. Measures al- ready introduced in the U. s. Con- gress would give the President prac- tically dictatorial power if war comes. Yet little objection is heard, for since the World War, that is what war means.
 FABULOUS
 FIGURES
 Armaments have increased stead fly since the World Wa that was to end them. But now the rate of increase is dizzily speeding up, es- pecially since Germany threw off the Versailles restrictions in 1885 and Japan withdrew from naval limitations in 1886.
 To illustrate this increase, it is estimated that between 1881 and 1887 world armament expenses jumped from four ,illions a year to ten.
 Today this staggering cost is somewhere between IA and IS bil- lions for 1938-estimates vary. But it is at least six times pre-World War armament costs. On this precarious and unsound base, Europe has built feverish in-

 Today the regular army has 165,- 000. Instead of the 10000 mem- bers of loosely organized state ni- litias, there are 100000 well-trained and equipped nationa' guardsmen, for war purposes also 8 federal force. Plans are under way for an enlisted reserve of 75,000, and there are today about 90,000 reserve of ficerS, each ready at moments no- tice to step into his appointed place in the war machine.
 Navy personnel is now about 105,- 900, but will be 10000 as fast as new vessels are ready. That will be just as fast as the Presidents $500, 100000 naval build ing program can get them finished. EvERYBODY'S
