Dollars Cannot Buy Yesterday
Eliot Stresses Admiral Stork's Observation
In Calling for Always Ready Sword

IS nations already in this present
war. The price of yesterday is not
easily or quickly paid. and the
counting house in which the bal
ance against 1t is struck is one in
which gold is not taken into &C
count, one in which blood and death
are the only current tenders.
1t is of vital importance that we
learn this lesson now, never to for
get it again; that we should all
learn it, fix it in our hearts and pass
it on to those who shall come after
us. The present troubles will pass.
We may survive them as free ma
ton, but there will come others, and
when these are over we shall have
to guard once more against the COM
placency, blindness, selfishness and
the wishful thinking which will
combine to try to convince us all
over again that dollars can buy yes
terday. We shall once more hear
that the sacrifice and the burdens Of
armament are needless, that we will
have time to prepare if menace lifts
its head beyond our rampant seas.
that the forging of swords is an af-
front and a threat to peace-and
that anyway, If we need them, have
we not iron in our mines and black
smiths in our shops?
Ready Swords Needed.
If We can only now determine that
never again shall we be misled by
this specious plea, that we realize
once and for all that only the ready
swords will serve us in our need, the
ready swords welded by arms skilled
in the arts of war and not in the
pursuits of peace, we shall have laid
the foundations of national security
and of national greatness. 1t is a
miserable and brutal world in which
such things must be, and we may
hope some day to have better, but
we shall not survive to see that
brighter dawn or have much share
in bringing it about unless mean
while we contrlve to preserve our
nation and our ideals in a world
in which that nation and those
Ideals are SO SaVagely challenged, so
violently menaced.
All our present fears, all our pres
ent confusion, all our present fran
tic efforts to translate resources into
fighting power, have come because
we chung with the naivete of chill
dren to our beliefs in those things
in which we wanted to believe, be-
cause with the blindness of fools we
would not believe those plain and
thunderous facts in which we did
not want to believe. And of all the
false beliefs which misled us, and
which on peril of our existence we
must never trust again, is the ter
rible belief that dollars can buy
yesterday.
The price of yesterday Is not gold.

dollars cannot buy yesterday and
acted accordingly we might have
been spared many present and acute
anxieties. But it is even more i'm
portant that we should SO realize
and act for the future, because the
time factor in war and in prepara-
tons for war is proportionately more
important than ever before.
The greater the degree of mech
anization of fighting forces by land,
sea or air, the longer the time re-
quired to provide not only the in
creasingly complicated weapons and
equipment such forces demand, but
the longer the time required to
create the industrial plant for pro-
ducing the weapons and equipment,
the longer also the time required to
train officers and men to use them
effectively in battle.
New Meaning of Force.
We are becoming slowly accus-
toned to the realization that we are
living in a world ruled by force and
by force alone. We have not yet
quite grasped what force means in
this particular connection. We are
accustomed to think of force in
terms of wealth, of resources, Of
population, of industrial capacity.
Britain and France had all these
and France went down, while
Britain is still struggling frantically
to make pounds sterling buy back
something of yesterday.
Force, as between nations today.
is a matter of Immediately available
fighting force-of resources actually
translated into warshipS. airplanes,
tanks and guns, and into trained
personnel to man them. Improvised
fighting forces are worse than use
less in modern war. Latent resources
may never have time to come into
serviceable action, serving merely as
added temptation to predatory
neighbor. All the wealth in the
world cannot now buy Britain, for
service today the destroyers and es-
cort craft and flying-boats that
might protect her sea-lanes from
German attack, any more than the
gold reserves of Holland and France
could beat back the German armies
from their frontiers.
All our buried gold, all our vast
resources of mine and field and fac
tory. cannot give us, today, the secu-
rity that we might have had If we
had not somehow cherished the be-
lief that dollars can buy yesterday.
Whenever and wherever we must
fight again, we shall have to fight,
as Britain Is fighting now, with the
weapons and the trained men we
have when the fighting starts; and
If any portion of yesterday is to be
bought, those men will have to buy
it with their blood, as American SOL
diers and seamen have ever had to
do in all our wars.
Blood is the Price.
For the price of yesterday is not
gold, but the blood of those who
must die needlessly in order to
atone for the neglect of their fell
lows. The price of yesterday may
be the lifeblood and the independ-
ence of a nation, as 1t has been Of
