WAR-IN MIND MORE THAN ARMS Heavy armaments usually are supposed to breed the fear and suspicion that lead to war. The accepted pacifist view js that nations distrust one another when they jjo about armed to the teeth, and that to demonstrate your prepared ness is a sure way to sot the other fellow thinking of a fight. Sometimes, though, it seems as if things don't follow that formula. Recently a huge British fleet held maneuvers in the Leeward ' Islands, in West Indies. It is the mightiest fleet Kngland ever has sent across the Atlantic. And yet this demonstration has aroused not a shadow of 'fear or suspicion in the United States. No one has risen to suggest that those maneuvers mean that Kngland is looking ahead to a. wnr with the United States. Indeed, it is likely that not one American in 50 even has known that the British fleet was on this side of the Atlantic. Of those who (lid know, hardly anyone has thought twice alxnit it. Compare tlut suite of affairs with what happened a year or so ago, -when the United States fleet held Its maneuvers off Hnwntl. The whole Japanese nation became alarmed. The stunt was looked upon as a dlreot menace to Japan. It whs asserted widely that preparation for war with Japan was the only possible motive for such action. The. two cases are alntost jwrrectly parallel, on the surface. But one passed unnoticed: the other led to an amoxlng amount of war tallc. Why? Perhaps the answer Is that armaments do not. In themselves, cause fear and suspicion, after all. If the national Interests of two countries are In conflict, or seem to be, then military demonstration will provoke uneasi ness and cause Irritation: If fear and suspicion exist to begin with. In other words, fleet, maneuvers will bring them out Into the open. But If they don't If two nations know perfectly well that they are going to live peaceobly. side by side, as the United Stales snd England know Itthen the odmlrals can parade their dreadnsughts when and where they please, and no one will think twice about It.
