THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1914 The best way to get a thing done is to do it yourself. We are informed that the University Party tomorrow night promises to be another sensational success. We will be there with a tag on our coat, giv ing our name, address, and color. ARMAMENTS NOT INSURANCE Some of our political leaders are contending with much noise that the "unpreparedness" of the United States is criminal and that what we need is a large standing army and a big navy. These men feel confident that the victor in this conflict will be a bully, anxious for other nations to whip, and that therefore in self-defense we should arm ourselves accordingly. In the Springfield Republican, Mr. Edwin D. Mead makes the following terse reply: "This kind of talk," he said, "seems to me mournful, and to imply that, instead of drawing the true and im perative lesson from the awful Euro pean catastrophe, there are many among us who are drawing the falsest possible inferences and urging pre cisely the things which we ought to overcome. It is precisely the mon strous armaments in Europe which have precipitated the catastrophe and ruin. ... In times of peace these European nations, dominated by mili tarism, have prepared for war, and they have got what they prepared for. Have we not common sense enough in the United States to shake ourselves clear of this folly and show the world a more excellent way? "I wish that every Congressman and every American citizen might have some personal experience of the pres ent European situation, resulting from the sort of thing now being com mended to us and from the bleeding of the people for a generation by taxa tion for menacing and destructive in stead of friendly and constructive pur poses. The best minds in Europe, and especially In England, realize the truth so clearly that, at the very time when politicians here are counseling this republic to go into the big arma ments craze as never before, they are defining the war itself as precisely a campaign to smash the armaments system and compel the nations to sub stitute the methods of reason and Jus tice for the methods of force and fight ing. It is inexpressibly mournful that they cannot confidently count upon this great republic, safest of nations and ablest to take the really noble and hopeful risks, to back Miem up unanimously In this high and neces sary policy, let alone the reassertion and extravagant pushing here of the boary old policy which is responsible for the wreckage, and which Europe herself is strirlng to emancipate her self from. If this republic, in vastly the most favorable position occupied by any nation, cannot lead In what It would seem that every serious mind should recognize as the most urgent reform, and itself set the example. Instead of trying to roll things back ward, where are we to look for the inauguration of the policy which alone has in it the relish of salvation?" Drake's office.
