Economic pressure has had much to do with war, but ambition has had more.” tiuite right; and it might have added that the doctrine of frenz ied preparedness is promulgated by those who have most to gain by army and navy contracts. They also use the ‘sacred banner o f patriotism" to conceal the sor did pecuniary interests back of the oropaganda.—Commoner. “ The Doctor Knows” Every one has heard the story o f the little boy who, when asked how he knew a neighbor was go ing to die, responded: "Th e doctor said he could not live ‘til morning, and the doctor knows what kind o f medicine he gave him.” So these jingoes must think they know what kind o f diplomacy we are going to use when they say that we can not keep out of war. l.oi ilmi I!,, (I, i iimu cu»erniaent or ili I Suini:'1 unit Wcdnchduys are tbe only ilny. exempt from llie new re- alil' IloiiM on Hi" inn- of ujt-Ht- U' riuau n«w »papers p'it>ll»h w lu--1 u leu prepared liy llu- dormali fi'ilerul council con tt'ollltig tin- consumption of meut.

Within three days there arrived ninety bare pur els for tho lonely one, six bags of smaller parcels and 3,000 let ters! Again a Manchester paper prluted a letter from a corporal In the Second South Lancashire» saying be was proIT- ably unique us u man w ho bud not re ceived a single communication from lbe Lome land since the war began. That corporal's next letter to the paper was very brief. “I've received 320 let ters and papers, and I'm steadily work ing llirongh the replies." _ last year; that the estimate for increased army and navy amounts to $812,000,000 for the next six years; that for new war vessels and more men in the navy the estimate is, in round figures .$500,000,000; and that the plan« contemplate an army o f more than a million trained men within the next six year- Is such a war establishment justified? I f it is justified, how will the government raise the hundreds o f millons o f dollars to pay for it? And at the end o f six years how many more hund reds o f millions will be demanded for the same purpose? Let it be taken for granted that we need a larger navy; let it ^be admited that we need an adequ ate navy. Secretary Daniels would haTe all the new ships built by the navy department, and would have the government manufacture its own ammunition and other supplies for the navy. But what will congress do about the secretary’s recommenda tions? Congress is not yet eman cipated from the unholy influence o f the war trust. It is evident that the war trust is very busy creating sentiment for a greater navy and a greater army. For years it has been busy at that job. Thursday o f this week came a dispatch from Washington saying that confiden tial reports received at the navy department reveal that Great Britain and -Germany have al ready anticipated the increases proposed in our new plan o f naval preparedness; that by 1921$ Great Britain will have 80 dread naughts o f th** first class, and that Ger many will have 33; and that eng- land is planning to have as many warships as Germany and the United States combined.

Not only is there a war trust in this country, but it is well known that the war trust is international, and it has for years deceived and cheated the people o f the United States, o f France, o f Great Britain, of Germany and other countries. Its business is to deceive and scare the people, and then cheat them. If, as is reported from Wash ington, President Wilson is in favor o f the enormous expendi tures proposed, we can not doubt his absolute sincerity. As the servant o f the people it is his duty to recommend what he be lieves the people want. It is not his duty, and certainly it is not his desire, to tell the people what they may or may not have. It may be that he has received from the magazines and newspapers the impression that public opin ion in this country is overwhelm ingly in favor o f incurring the enormous expenses for increased preparedness. It must be ad mitted that the preponderance o f noise is on that side.
