The United States has not an enemy upon the face of the earth. “Defence, defence, they cry! But every army that ever existed has been for defence. Remember that the mili tarists play with fire. The thing is to be stopped here and now. When they say we must bring our military equip ment up to efficiency, it means that we enter upon the road that leads to war. We should remain a great power only until the world makes up its mind to put an end to American militarism.” “The next time anyone tells you that a cannon is made to keep peace, you tell him that a cannon is made to kill men.” This was the observation of Mr. Leon Fraser. “The agitator’s argument that our security lies in be ing stronger than any other country, will hold equally true for every coun try besides us. The creation of ‘Na tional security leagues’ in this country will mean the creation of ‘National security leagues’ in Japan. If today all had four guns and tomorrow eight, we would be relatively in the same po sition, but the increased burden would lead eventually to bankruptcy or an explosion.” Dr. Carlton Hayes, professor of modern history, said: “Western Eu rope has managed to keep peace for forty-three years, although gradually increasing its armaments each year. The burden of militarism became un bearable and the present war follow ed. After the outbreak of the war I had one comfortable feeling when 1 read that all Nations insisted that this war was The Last War. And yet in December, 1914, just three months later, we are told that the great les son for us is that we in America must embark on a sea of militarism. Let us be rational. Who is going to at tack us? There is bound to be peace in the United States unless we delib erately give offence. There is no need for a defensive armament; there is only need for armament if we want to provoke a war. “One of the great questions for the coming generation is going to be this question of militarism, and it is the duty of every student in our colleges and universities to make his decision and declare where he stands. If you go in for militarism don’t be satisfied with mere sops—demand ten thou sand dreadnoughts and innumerable submarines; hut if you think this country can maintain peace without force of arms, cast your lot with us.” Militarism and .College Men. (By Paul Douglas.) The flag has often been used as an excuse for chauvinism. It should stand for National dignity and self- control. Patriotism has been made the excuse for foolish aggression and senseless fears. It should be the highest representation of a Nation’s ideal of social betterment. The hero to our minds has been the officer in uniform waiving a crimson sword. He is rather the man in overalls. We have seen a system of interna tional relationship founded on fear— and we have prided ourselves upon the fact that we were guided by rea son. We have witnessed year by year the overmounting crop of dread noughts and of cannon—and we have plumed ourselves upon the fact that we were rather producing harvesters and rails. We have seen the youth of every country locked up in bar racks and drilling on parade grounds, while the young men of America have been battling with the forces of na ture—and Anally, as the culmination of all this senseless system, we have seen the hand of every Nation, like a cinematograph desperado or a Bow ery gangster, go to his hip, and reck lessly, without rhyme and reason, start the slaughter which is but mur der, and which has transformed most of the civilized world into a human shambles. And we have prided ourselves upon the fact that we could never fall into a system of such egregious folly. And now when no danger threatens our coast, when all Nations are look ing to us as a friend—not as a foe— when the great possibility of bring ing about the world’s peace seems to be only a question of almost a few short months, when all eyes are turn ed toward us and all Nations are half ready to have us show that interna tional relations can be based on mu tual understanding and mutual re spect rather than upon fear and upon aggression, at this time when never in the history of the world was there such a call for patience and for pru dence, there are some who would have us assume an attitude of mingled suspicion and fear! The hideous fallacy of military force preventing a war should, by the events of the last five months, be for ever driven from the human mind. Peace does not come from bayonets or from bullets. Their children are rapine and murder. Bankruptcy and explosion can only follow. At crucial times in our country’s history, hundreds of thousands of young men have been willing to lay down their lives in war. Now at this crucial time in the world’s history, there is as great a need to resist (Continued on Page 5.) $ j> $ d $ 1! 5 $ $ d $ O d d d & $ i> i> d <* <« <*$ S a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a DIXIE THEATRE Boys, you will always see a fine bill at the Dixie.
