a time when there has been less need
of preparedness for war. 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
