EVIL OF MILITARISM

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."
