ITS'GRQWTrTIN UNITED STATES Figures WMch SIiott Increase of Naval Expenses Fanston anil Spy System Discnssed Roosevelt's Work tor Arbitration. Is Militarism a Blessing or a Curse." -was the subject of the discourse delivered by the Rev. Stephen S. "Wise at the Temple Beth Israel last "Friday evening. It was a masterly deliverance on the ten dency towards militarism In America, and was replete with examples drawn from the experience of the armed nations of Europe. Dr. "Wise said, among other things: A "I honor and cherish the memory of those who gave their lives for the Nation in our National wars, and that I pro foundly appreciate the heroism, the man llness and the worth of those who con stltute our Army In these days of peace. If we were to engage In warfare today I would be the first to urge our youth, to rally round the flag, and I would not fall to extol the heroism of those waging war in their country's behalf. Let me submit that I honor the Natton's heroes none the less because I deplore and there fore must needs deprecate,' the tendency toward militarism, which Is rife In the land today. This militarism, a strictly European importation, should be harried out at the gates of our. land, .for It is destined o be a curse to our land if ever It gains a foothold among us. "It cannot be Insisted upon too -emphat ically that war is not to be prepared for and regarded as If It were the regular and ordinary thing amid the evebts of life, Under any and all circumstances It Is the extraordinary. I urge this because of the strenuous insistence of late upon the acceptance of the formula, 'If you wish for peace, prepare for war, than which no greater fallacy is thinkable. The ques tion is hurled at those who are opposed to the spirit of militarism, '"Would you have your country undefended? In answer, It will suffice to say that there are countless gradations between defense lessness and unlimited agencies of war. Defense is antlpodally removed from of fense-breeding militarism. "Among the less harmful symptoms of the rise of the spirit of militarism is the growing practice of sending our youth to "military schools. A graver symptom Is the wanton extravagance into whlcb we are rushing headlong for the. upbuild Ing of the American Navy. Gro-rvtk of "Seeval' "Expenses;" ' "Let me cite a few figures at this time The cost of the German army in 1902 was 5140,000,000. the pension list aggregate J25.OCO.C0O. In the same year the cost of the War Department of the United States was $112,000,000. and- the pension list amounted to $135,00,000. In Germany there are 300,000 recruits annually. The United States Navy 20 years ago cost 515,000,000 per annum; ten years ago 523,000,000; In 1895, 525,000,000, and the current year's ex pense Is calculated to be about 5S0.O0O.OOO. A student of naxal affairs estimates that within a very few years the annual ex pense of supporting our naval establish ment will be 5150,000,000, or nearly JoOO.OOO dally. It has been further, estimated that. the batUeships, the original cost of which Is 55.000.000 or more, require a daily ex pendlture of 5100O, the cost of target, prac tlce on a battleship totaling about 5100, 000 yearly. "The annual expense account of Tus kegeo Institute, one of .the greatest civlllz: ing agencies of the "Western Conttnent, is 5100,000, and that Hampton Institute, In Virginia, can- barely secure the same amount of money ,for its magnificent work in educating the negro race.' "Be It remembered with: reference to this question -that if we plan to build fivo ships or cruisers In one year, Russia at once sets out to build six, and Germany possibly seven. France perhaps eight or nine and England ten or 12, whereupon our Government sets out to readjust the naval programme, In order not to be out done by our sister nations. It Is signlfi cant that an American. Navy League has been founded similar to that which has been In existence for a dozen years in England and France. In Germany, since 1S98, the league has grown to a member ship of more than 600,000, and has so In fluenced public sentiment In the German Empire within that time as to make It possible for the Kaiser to -put through his plans for a greater Germany Navy. Wi know that nothing could be easier than It is to arouse the enthusiasm of the un thinking masses of the people In favor of a larger Army and a greater Navy. Is it too mich lo .say that it Is the duty of those wno direct our National affairs to curb and to check rather than to pro mote and reinforce such, sentiments. For. my part I cannot And It compatible with the dignity of the Secretary of the Navy of these United States to. have appealed to the populace as he did, by promising to name a battleship after a neighboring state if Congress complied with his wis to have five new battleships begun next year. Surely this is not leadership, this Is not statesmanship. If a guarantee against defeat by any combination of powera Is to be secured, when, If ever. shall the naval building programme come to an end? Effect of Chanvlnlsm. . "In taking' account of the Influences which favor the rise of rampant mill tarism, the splrif of nationalism suggests Itself at once- Under the term national Ism' I understand not so much patriotism as chauvinism, not so much love of one' own country as Ill-will towards every other country. "Nationalism does not pro claim "up with my own Nation,' but Its slogan is 'Down with every other na tlon.' And to down the other nation large armies and vast navies are needed. The nationalism hat leads to militarism Is nothing more than a wholesale collective national neglect of the law, 'Thou shalt love tby neighbor as thyself." or Its nara phrase as voiced" In Christendom under the tlUe 'the golden rule.' The world has got to learn that the golden rule is as ap-' pllcable to national affairs as to the re lation of one man to another; that 'na tlons are under the same laws and obliga tions as individuals. Theft does not cease to be theft because It Is styled territorial aggrandizement, and murder does not cease to be murder because Its victims are multitudinous in number. Crime Is not meditated, but magnified when commit- 4 ted by a Tiatton. What Is. rep rehensible In the individual is a thousand fold more reprehensible in a nation. Hu manity universal must be controlled by universal conscience. In the furtherance of international comity and good will our great Republic should take the lead, as It has already begun to take the lead in the establishment of the parliament of the nations and the federating of the peoples of the world. "One of the great forces that make for militarism Is commercialism .the love of money, the lust for gold. This commer cialism Is not Infrequently disguised; It styles Itself 'manifest destiny or 'benev olent assimilation.' Not that all destlny- ltes or asslmllatlon-ists are commercially tainted, but let us not blink the fact that much of tho expansion sentiment in our land today has ben shrewdly fostered by men whose thought has been of the tre mendous commercial possibilities In the Eastern "World. Commercial greed Is not the least of tho causes operative today In effecting the ascendency of the new mili tarism. 'The tendency toward militarism finds no little support In tho overideallzatlon of war, a characteristic specimen of which is to be found In Ruskln's 'Address on "War. published In the volume. 'The Crown of "Wild Olives.' "Perhaps the gravest consequence of militarism is the inevitable rebarbariza tlon, to use the term which Herbert Spen cer offers us in his latest and last book, entitled 'Facts and Comments.' It is i very grave and very present peril, theln- escapable consequence of militarism gone mad. Rebarbarlzatlon may fairly be stated to be the subjection of man to man. or group to group. Graduated subordina tion and subjection, the Ineluctable results of chronic militancy, are Irreconcilable with the spirit of our democracy. Militar ism and subjecUon - are .Interchangeable terms, ana subjection and. democracy are Incompatible. The suppression of Indi viduality, which Is the natural concomi tant of militarism, cannot long coexist with a truly democratic Ideal. Rap at Fnnston. 'The system of espionage, such as came to light In the Jreyfus affair, ,1 a revolt ing result of the armed truce of the Euro pean nation. Truly, It may be urged that If the spy system be a. necessary conse quence of war, then war itself stands con demned. You may praise and extol Gen eral Funston, if you will, but Is there not something fundamentally wrong in an In stitution that justifies the treachery of the capture of Agulnaldo? And here we come upon the very heart of the question militarism is the bane and blight of Europe because It perverts ideals. "What military honor signified In France came to light at the Rennes trial, when no Jun ior officer, It appeared, felt under the oblj gaUon of speaking the truth respecting his superior. Militarism exposes us to the grave peril of exalting the military above the civil arm of our Government; the consequences of such a National pol icy It Is needless to dilate upon. It seem3 that today already there Is danger of look ing upon our Army as a class apart; to criticise an Army officer Is looked upon as treasonable; to demand that the offt cers of the Army shall In any evert obey me laws or war ana ine laws oi nu inan ity. Is to be disloyal to our country's-defenders. God forbid that the day should ever come when the American people should be denied the right of summoning every officer of the American Army be fore the tribunal of the National con science. "Militarism means this: In 1ST3, Alex ander IT wrote an,autograph . letter to Bismarck, saying, that the 'Russian army was restless after 20 years of peace, and asking if Germany would hold, aloof. If. Russia attacked Austria """"Have I not submitted a sufficing number of examples of the Influence of militarism as it ob tains, especially in European lands? I will not urge tonight that which is known to all those who do not blink at the truth, that hand in hand with the noble moral heroisms of war go moral degradation and moral deterioration; but I must needs Insist, in the name of truth, that peace is not weakening and deteriorating, that men are not necessarily soft and flabby In peace, selfish and Inert; that war alone brings out 'the full personal power of tho human creature.' Heroes of Peace. "If it be said that great causes and crises are needed to try men's souls, then may we truly give answer that peace hath its strifes no less renowned than war. Peace hath a myriad heroisms to test and ennoble us the heroism of the engineer staying at his post and going down to death sooner than desert the place of duty; the heroism of the missionary car ing for the leprous in a far-off island, fore-doomed to a loathsome disease and to death; the heroism of the Sheriff de fending his black, charge against an in furiated, mob bent upon lynching. He that holds that war alone offers great crises with which to try men's soul3 knows not the meaning of life. Countless are the epics of the inner life, the hero isms of daily living. "To the idealizing tendency respecting war let there be opposed the spirit of In flexible truth-speaking, the force of an aroused public conscience, stimulated by the press, the political forum, and the pul pit. Selfish commercialism can be com bated only by Inculcating In the mlnda of the Nation's leaders the principle that war shall never be waged for the sake of gain. Sullen nationalism must be over come by the gospel of International peace and human good will. The Influences, taken together, that make for rebarbarl zatlon can be conquered by the gospel of humanity sacred, of love divine. "The noble part taken by our own Na tion In the past year in the t furtherance of the ideals of peace must not be over looked in. this hour. Great have been the gains for the cause of arbltraUon In the last twelvemonth, and our own Govern ment has been largely Instrumental In making these gains possible. One year ago the International court at The Hague was an untried tribunal; m 12 months It has. received three leading cases, and in two of these cases the United States has been one "of the parties at Issue. Our sol dier President Is deserving of the grati tude of lovers of peace the world over for having been Instrumental in securing a reference of thej Venezuelan controversy to The Hague court. Thus far our coun try has taken a leading part in the peace movement. "Would, that It might be given to our country to take highest rank In the role of national peacemakers In the world! "War if Right anil Necessary. "Touching those who help to spread the Influence of militarism, the words of the prophet may be spoken. Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.' Is this to be taken to signify that we may never wage a war, that war may never be right, that war is never necessary? Let U3 have war, let us have war, if it be right and necessary to have war,' but let us have peace If it be wrong- and needless to go to war. As between a dishonorable war and a dishonorable peace, which la the more Infamous 'and ruinous? I dare do all-that doth become a man; Who dares do more is none. "Thus spake Shakespeare's warriors. To dare to war when It Is necessary to war is to do all that doth become; a man. To dare to" do more, to dare to go to war when war is needless. Is to be and to do less than doth become a man. Blessed are the peacemakers, for theirs is tho kingdom of heaven; thrice blessed are the furtherers of peace, for theirs Is the mak ing of the kingdom of heaven upon earth."
