WHY SHOULD THE U. S. ARM7

The people of the United States will,
in the near future, be called upon to sup
port the government in an enlarged pro-
gram of preparedness.
They will undoubtedly be advised
that their army must be improved, their
navy enlarged ard their air forces in
creased Many of them will wonder why
such steps are necessary at this time.
We should realize that i'm matters of
national defense it is necessary to build
what you need before it can be used and
even before you know whether you will
ever need it. Just like cities maintain fire
departments because they cannot be built
after fires break out, so it is necessary for
nations to maintain armies, navies and air
fleets sufficient to meet national needs.
There are many citizens of this re-
public, who are loyal, patriotic and intelli-
gent, who do not believe in maintaining
the army, navy or air corps at their pres
ent strength, much less charging them at
a cost of millions of dollars. These peo-
pie believe that we have enough to protect
offensive strength and that to increase
ornaments is but to join in a race that will
Inevitably result in war.
There are other people who believe
that the nations of the world are divided
into two camps, one composed of demo-
cratic powers and the other of dictatorial
nations They do not think that the world
can, or will, continue divided in this
fashion, that either democratic processes
must govern the world or that dictators
will. Consequently, they argue that every
nation, regardless of its position, must be
armed to defend its philosophy of living.
There are some who insist that the
British Empire is fading and that the
future will see only three great powers in
the world, the United States, Germany and
Japan. These nations, they insist, will
dominate the Western Hemisphere, Europe
and Asia There are some who would in
clude Russia as fourth great nation, Civ
signing to Japan an empire along the lines
of traditional British growth.
AS we look into the future, we do not
know what it contains. We are not in
clined to count the British Empire out as
world power, nor are we very quick to ac-
cept the new, three-power division of the
globe. At the same time, there is no way
for US to know what is ahead. These
prophets may be right. We may face a
world like that predicted. If we do, and
have as shares of the world, Japan and
Germany, with their present PHILOSOPHERS,
it is a safe bet that we will need as much
army, navy and air corps as we can con-
veniently assemble.
The idea is advanced that the need
for increased armaments in this country is
based. not upon any intention of beconn-
ing involved in European or Asiatic af-
fairs, but to the uncertainty of the future,
to the impossibility of knowing what con-
dition will confront us if, and when, an
other great war skaters the present world
status. When that day arrives we will not
have years in which to get prepared; we
will have to stand our ground with what
we have, or yield ourselves to those who
have the power to make US accept their
dietation.

Radical measures are always danger

of taxation on basis of ability to pay and
