Men had thought lof a mathematical reduction of arma ments for each country, but this had proved futile, for it- was dem onstrated that in modern wars It was not the number of cannon, nor the number of machine guns that counted, but, the industrial forces of a'natidn, which permitted quick preparation 'for war.
