WHAT PERSHING THINKS
The appropriations of the, five great
powers for military anil naval pur
poses in tliS year 1920 alone reached
a total of $10,442,251,101, a sum only
about $2,000,000,000 more than the
total for the whole fourteen years be
fore the war.
It all conies down to this so far as
you are concerned:
Every morning when you go to
work, or when you slay at home sick
on a working day, or even if you
are out of a job, it has been arranged
tor yon to pay your fair share out
of what you earn or should earn, of
over $5,000,000 a day for the support
of the army and navy. That is the
estimate for the fiscal year 1922
over $5,000,000 a day. I have General
Pershing's word for it. You will have
to pay it. Five million dollars every
working day is a pile of money to
spend for insurance against attack.
And of course that is not all the
cost. What is the big idea? What do
you think about it? You will have to
pay the bill. Do you think about it
at all? General Pershing does. This
is what he thinks :
"As we consider the causes of the
World war and comprehend its hor
rors, every thinking man and woman
must feel that measures should be
taken to prevent another such cal
amity. One step in that direction
would be to reduce expenditures for
armament. Our own estimates for
naval and military purposes contem
plate an appropriation for the fiscal
year 1922 of over $5,000,000 for every
working day In the year. It is a
gloomy prospect that the nations plan
expenditures greater than ever before
in peacetimes.
"It would appear that recent ex
periences should be enough to con
vince everybody of the danger of a
renewal of this competition. But one
nation cannot reduce armaments un
less nil do. It is time that enlightened
people everywhere should undertake
to reach some rational agreement
which would not only relieve the
world of its heavy financial burden
but which in itself would go far to
ward the prevention of war. We are
not a warlike people. We do not
wish to expand at the expense of any
other nation, and we have no designs
on anybody. If other people feel the
same toward us and toward each
other It seems unreasonable that they
should be unwilling to consent in
principle to some limitation of arma
ments, to be carried out when other
nations succeed in 'establishing stable
governments and are willing to recog
nize the wisdom of such a course.
Otherwise, may we not seriously ask
ourselves whether civilization Is a
failure, and whether we are to regard
war as an unavoidable scourge that
mankind must suffer?
"There are other considerations
which should prompt us to make every
effort to bring about a curtailment of
these expenditures throughout the
world, particularly In the war-worn
countries of Europe. The people of
Europe have always been our best
customers and are largely dependent
upon us for certain necessities. We
must look to them to buy the products
of our farms, mines and factories.
The prosperity of our people depends
In no small measure upon the unin
terrupted flow pf commodities abroad.
We have stocks of cotton, wheat and
other products greatly In excess of
our own requirements, which the
poojde of Europe sorely need but
which we cannot sell and they can
not buy because their fiscal system;
have broken down, their currencies
have depreciated, and their purchasing
power Is exhausted.
"The first step to take In the re
habilitation of the finances of all these
countries Is to reduce the cost of
government so that expenses will not
exceed the Incomes. Expenditures
must... be lowered everywhere If
financial stability Is to be restored and
If the nations are ever to pay their
debts. Until stability U restored none
can have prosperity that comes from a
free and uninterrupted flow of products
from one couBtry to-another. But this
cannot be done -If hnge ums continue
to be appropriated for the mainte
nance of large armies and large navies.
"The safety of humanity In the
future, Indeed the peace, the happiness
and the prosperity of the race all
appeal alike for an early consideration
of the question of limited armaments."
Broadly speaking. It Is the man who
profits, and not the simple average
man who endures, who Is behind all
this movement for ever Increasing
armament. If you doubt this, Just go
out In your own neighborhood and ask
men who were actually In the war,
who saw service In the line, whether
they want any more of It.

Investigation of Activities of
Of Project Asked by
Southern Senator
Foes
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 28
Investigation by the senate of the
activities of "persons, associations,
corporations, commonly known as the
fertilizer and water-power trusts,"
alleged to be attempting to prevent
lease by the government of Muscle
Shoals project, is provided in a res
olution introduced in the senate
by senator Harris of Georgia.
Mr. Harris said he would ask for
con sideration of the resolutionprob
ably before the end of the week.
Senator Harris further explaining
his resolution to the senate said the
special committee of five which his
resolution would name should be
given ample opportunity to go into
every phase of the efforts which he
said were being made to defeat an
agreement between Secretary Weeks
and Henry Ford, on the latter's offer
to lease the Muscle Shoalspropcrties
Senator Harris declared he was
confident a "powerful lobby" was at
work in the interests of the fertilizer
and water-power groups.
Ford Signs Contract
The contract covering the propos
ed lease and purchase of the govern
ments nitrate and water power pro
jects at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, was
signed by Henry Ford and returned
to the war department, last night, a
few hours after it had been received,
it was announced.
