OIKKOIJI) FIN'CIfOT is out with
" ptvparoducss as peace insurance. However, Ins pre
paredness is of a moderate type. He evidently holds that
a reKuhfr army of :T0.00) is sufficient and warships enough
to make the Tinted Stales navy second among the battle
fleets of the World. The nation seems about to realize both
with bills already pending in congress.
This moderate preparation will not meet the approval
of our millionaire munition makers, our frenzied prepar
edness paraders, our shrieking jingoes and our bar-sinister
press nor will the following excerpt from the IMnuhot
epistle:
Hounded natlonwl praimrutlnoHM nn modern lluoa worka not only to
ward KPcurliiR pence, hut ditto toward iiiRklng till country a bfltor plata
to live In for all of us when immioo haa hten m-curod. The ureal natural
reaourcea, like roal, Iron, copper ami walerpower, are tho raw material
of proanorlly aa well aa tht raw matorlala of national tlefrnae. They
inuat be tnailf availalile for lliu ttao of thu jic.opln both In poaco and In
war. Hut ahovo and bi-yond all ulun, we muat havu a country defended
agalnal attack from within and without by miual opportunity and aoclal
Juallce a country whose people will atnud by It becauae II hna Blood by
them.
This is the only real preparedness. A nation prepared
for peace need not worry over preparedness for war. 13ut
we upend our energies and our millions in makeshift ore-
pa redness for a mythical suppositious enemy and leave the
nation unprepared for peace.
Our great natural resources, the "raw materials of
prosperity," our coal, iron, copper, oil and water power
are bestowed upon the few to exploit the many, and the
same legislators who are voting the people's money away
for militarism are voting also to bestow the few remaining
oi i ne uai ion s natural assets upon private greed, llie raw
materials of national defense are not available for the peo
ple in cither peace or war, saving by paying excessive toll
to private monopoly.
(Ireat parades arc organized io secure preparedness for
war by larger armies and navies, but there are no parades
organized for preparedness for peace by the establishment
of eipial opportunity and social justice. The only part of
preparedness that interests plutocracy is that entailing the
expenditure of the people's money for military establish
ments that may be useful in trade extension and territorial
expansion.
Preparedness for peace would be our best insurance for
the future, for either war or peace.
OFFICIAL VOIE OF DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY WESTERN PACIFIC
I
EARLY PEACE PROBABLE
OL
AN
IN PORIO RICO
nplIKfact that President Wilson has turned his attention
- toward inaugurating a movement to restore peace in
ICurope indicates that llie end of the world struggle is in
sight and that peace before winter is not an improbability.
Ucriuaiiy has twice expressed willingness to discuss
peuce terms. Whether the entente ttllies are yet willing to
entertain such proposals or not is unknown, but llie oppor
tunity is offered for the president to broach the subject,
mid the fact that he is coiisideiing it .shows that he has
some reasons for believing the time ripe.
The war seems hopelessly deadlocked on both fronts.
Neither side seems able to accomplish anything except
needless slaughter. The heralded spring drive of the allies
has not materialized. Niiperioritv ()f munitions and anna-1
men! evidently still rest with the (termans, though daily
their supply of men is growing less. The food situation in
(icrmaiiy is growing acute as the blockade becomes mow
effective. Iy fall it will be serious. Hence (icriiiany, in
spite of her territorial gains, is willing, perhajitt anxious, to
discuss peace.
The allies, although daily becoming better prepared, are
evidently not yet prepared enough to take the offensive,
and if they were, the struggle at Verdun has shown but lit
tle could prohablv be accomplished. It is doubtful if the
deadlock can lie iirokcu lor another mx mouths, it then, liv
a decisive victory.
The war is exhausting all nations participating. The
people of all belligerent countries are wearying of the ex
pensive and indecisive struggle. There is not even glory in
continuing a result less war. l'robablv bv fall the allies will
be rcadx to listen to peace talk.
