D&AIN ON WORLD'S RESOURCES inlted State Dletaave All Other tlon (ungrmmta Tawney I try terra the Situation at Home and Abroad. 1- N V'No nation In the world approaches our expenditures on account of war past and wars to coma," says Congressman Tawney, chairman of the appropriation committee, laj a" discussion of "armed peace" in the Nw York Times. In support of th de claration Mr. Tawney submits these facta arid flgurea: la proportion1 to the size of our army and nary wa are expending about 100 per cent more'than any other power in th world. 'The- total expenditures of the United Slate. OTat Britlan, Germany and France on account of their armle and navlea Is, In raund numbers, $1,000,000,000 a year. If you 4d to this coloaaal aum th tremendous ; Cough -Cold Ji is broken up by using I SIOAM'S .S Frica. .. SO., mm Sl.oo. war budgets of Japan, Russia. Austria, Italy, Spain and other great power of the world, all of whom are groaning under 1 the weight of the gladiators they are car 1 rylng on their backs, you will hav a grand total cost of armed paao o large that the human mind can scarcely com prehend its magnitude. Even though we are now appropriating 72 per cent of our revenues for th wars past and th wars to come, ther U do hint of a stop In this program, or even a pause The war budgets of th world are Increasing rapidly and enormously every year, and we are doing our beat to keep up with the procession. If we do aa well in this line during the next few year aa we have since the war with Spain it will be only a question of time when th whola country will be working, not for th pursuit of happiness, not for th education of th ris ing generation and th auport of th family, not for the upbuilding bf arts and sciences, but for the feeding, th arming and the uniforming of th mightiest mili tary establishment th world has aver known. More Than Ever This Year. Look at th showing of th flgurea. Im mediately preceding the war with Spain the annual expenditure for th army waa M, 000,000. That waa th yearly army bud get for eight year preceding th Spanish war. For the eight years following that ar the appropriation leaped to more than ts3,(0,Ouo a year. Thla year we are asked to appropriate more than tOt.OOO.OOO. Th Increase In th sums appropriated for th navy for th same periods is about $600,009,000, a sum larger than th total -penditure of th government for any year previous to th Spanish war, and large enough, ovr friends Interested In water ways improvements tell us, to make th great Mississippi river and Its tributaries navigable for thousand of mile and to carry out th entire schem of deepening and broadening of channela that th ad vocate are now attempting by convention and educational propaganda to enact Into law. Add th Increase la th army appropria tions' to th Increase In th navy appro priations during the eight-year period that I mention and you will have a total of $1,072,000,000, a sum exoeedlng by more than $158,000,000 th total lntereet-bearlng debt of the United State'. The sum total of th Increase is even greater than the stu pendous sum appropriated for all govern mental purposes for th year 1910. The Dreadneaght Craae. I may bo lacking in perception, but I onfesa that I can see no valid reason for engaging in thla latter day "Dreadnought craze" that ha taken possession of the United States along with the other great powers of the world. We seem to be bent now on excelling all other nations in the site and number of big battleships that we are to build each year. If there Is any reason to apprehend war with any foreign power within th next decade it has been carefully conoealed from th legislative branch of th government. We saw that w could spar sixteen of our great battle ships from our coasts for practically a year. We might just as well spar them for ten. Ar we to entirely Ignore our splendid geographical Isolation? Are we to entirely ignore the physical fact that makes It praotlcally impossible with the modem means of warfare for any nation to Invade our territory or come within range of our ooast line without being Intercepted by th mean of defense we now have at our command? The transport service of no European nation Is sufficient, even with out opposition, to land upon American soil an army of 100,000 men at a given time. Ther la no country In th orient that has a naval base within reaching distance of our Paclflo coast, and no oriental nation would be so reckless of It own Interests as to risk the loss of Its navy or Its fleet by attempting to'send It past the Hawaiian Islands for the purpose of attacking us upon th Paclflo coast It would know what is plain to every mind, that without a naval baa between th object of It at tack and Its horn ports, and without It veasela being ab'e to atop somewhere to ooal and repair they would never return. In times of war the ports of every country In the world are closed to the navies of th oontendlng nations, and each of the com batants I driven to rely upon its own ports for supplies and for th means of carrying on naval warfare. One Year' Expenditure. , "Our splendid fleet of battleships that went around the world could not even start on its record breaking voyage without the aid of at least twenty-eight auxiliary ves sels flying foreign flags, and It waa able to complete the great Journey only with their assistance. Without the use of those foreign coalers and auxiliary ships of va rious kinds the trip would not have even been a first-class fizzle It would never have been begun. Last year the United State spent nearly $30,000,000 more In Its preparations for war than it spent on all its publlo buildings throughout th -country since the govern ment was established, exclusive of the pub lic building in Washington Itself. "If you will take the world's figures of 1908, the last obtainable, you will find that my statement to the effect that propor tionately w are spending more money for wars past and to come was made advisedly. We are spending only $36,000,000 less an nually upon our army and navy than Ger many with an army twelve times a large as ours and a navy half again as larre. 1 Great Britain, with an army four time 1 and a navy three times a big as ours spends only $66,000,000 more each year; and France, with an army of 500.000 men and a navy of 54.000. doea not spend aa much an nually upon them aa w do by more than 1M),000.000 in the course of the year. Tak ing th sum total of th figure of th coat of preparation for war and of war paat th UnlUd States Is spending yearly $X4, 000,000 mora than England. $131,000,000 mora than Germany, and $152,000,004 more than Franca. Why 8hnl4 Wa G Armed? In all civilised countries th use of arms In avery-day llf I discouraged and even prohibited. Tuor Is no more reason why the nation should go armed In time of peace than th Individual. Wa do not al low th citizen to go about with revolvers in his pockets because of the danger that society would encounter In such moments of excitement as are likely to occur in or dinary dally experience. Just so there is a danger that nations, upon slight provo cation or no provocation at all, will de clare war upon each other when each knows Itself to be dangerously armed and prepared for war. Instead of being a guaranty for peace, therefore, it seems to me that great armaments are a menace to tranquillity. There Is no real reason for International war. The age waa when It was thought possible for only one great nation to exist In the world at a time. Now we know that great nations art necessary to each other, and as long ae geographical and climatic conditions re main a they ar all of them can grow great side by side. In this era of national specialization we need the products of other countries to aid us In deriving all the comfort and luxuries of life. To gain all there Is out of International life, Just as In private life, peace la desirable. In ternational commerce, international trade, international languages. International . art and literature. International political influ ence and example all demand that perma nent peace be maintained, and none of them can flourish upon international war. But the selfishness handed down from barbaric ages, the distrust that has de scended from the misty past, preventa. Peace Without Arms. The world must decide In. favor of peace without arms some time, however. If It doea not it will be crushed by the very weight of the armlea and the navies It Is building. Soma world-wide federation for th Insurance of International peace must b substituted for the growing armies and sea powers. Just how this will be brought about I do not pretend to tell. It must come somehow, some time, to save the world from bankruptcy. Perhaps when the natlona of th world awake to a realiza tion of th fact that In th fattening ar mies and navies 1 found th cause of the lean larders th increased cost of living of th people they will tak steps to turn their battleship Into merchantmen and their cannon Into steal rails. IDLE LAND THE COUNTRY OVER More Abandoned Farms In the United State Than at Any Time In Its History. The Idea prevails In some quarters that, with the approaching end of free land In the west, th era of abandoned farms will be forever past In the United States. Noth ing could be more erroneous. There never were more abandoned farms in the hlatory of the United States than there are today. There never was a period In the history of the world not excepting times of war and famine when such uniformly 'high prices ruled for farm products, when the world demand wa no uniformly greater than the world aupply; and there never has been a period as far as the United States is concerned when there were so many abandoned farms, when there existed such a uniform deterioration in farm values, such a uniform and persistent movement away from the land to the town in the sections of the country known as the abandoned farm areas. Tak the United Slates as a whole on January 1, 1900, according to special returns gathered by the conservation commission, there were 16.0W) square miles of abandoned farms, chiefly In New England, New York, the southeast and the middle central states. That Im, there are in the United States at present 10.000,000 acres of abandoned farms an area the same as all that part of the Canadian northwest that la cultivated, fif teen tlmea the size of Rhode Island, four times the size of Connecticut, twice the size of Massachusetts, twice the size of New Jersey. Averaging up all the farms of the United States, the size per farm is 145 acres; so that there are enough abandoned farms to set up 70,000 farmers. Doesn't look very much as if the abandoned farms were decreasing, does It, though one hears general rumors to that effect constantly? Take the abandoned farm areas by sec tions In New York atate between 1880 and 1900 more than 14.000 farms were abandoned, more than 400,000 people left the country for the city; twenty agricultural districts showed a decrease In population. If New York land were worked to Its full capacity it would support a population equal to France, between thirty and forty million people. As mattera stand, the population Is over 7.000,000; but 6.000,000 of these ar city people, who. draw their sustenance from other states. Practically, only a Uttl over 1,000,000 are drawing their support il Vlll alio Sftlli. The same story could be told of all New England with th exception of parte of Maine and Massachusetts. Th funny man's description of "crops of moss from New York, summer boarders for New Hampshire, summer swell for Massa chusetts and commuters from New Jer sey,"' Is, of course, an exaxreration: but it Is an exaggeration that has a lot of truth In It.-Agne C.
