WE DON T CARE TO KNOW
A news service writer, recounting what preparations
the United States is making against the possibility of
war. quotes an army tactician as explaining that the
present trend in military preparation is toward swiftly
mobile fighting forces, and away from the type of war
fare carried on in trenches between massed forces dur
ing the World War.
The explanation of the trend is rather novel. The
army spokesman said that “trench wars like the last
one, with vast masses of men, mean that whoever wins,
loses. Economically, there can be no winner. ’
Fortunately, so far, the relative cost of war fought
in trenches and war fought at random—the goal of
swiftly mobile fighting forces—is more a matter of dis
cussion than of actual comparison, the world not yet
having had a taste of the latter in its modern version.
Even so. it is highly doubtful if all the refinement in
modes of warfare can prevent the army’s tactician’s
statement that “economically there can be no winner”
from applving to all war, not alone to trench warfare.
Nor does it seem by any means certain that war can
be made a better proposition economically by getting
away from the idea of segregating the fighting in the
trenches. Frightful though the havoc was during the
world war. the worst of the destruction was confined to
a relatively small area. Had the same war been fought
in the modern manner, it requires little imagination to
conceive the shambles that would have been made of
Europe. Four years of destructive air raids and thrusts
by armored equipment undoubtedly would have made
debris piles out of most of the capitals of Europe, and at
its conclusion the conquered would have had little left
with which to reimburse their conquerors, much less
than Germany and her allies had at the close of the
World War.
Militarists may object fhat it isn’t the point, that
modern fighting equipment is designed to end wars
more quickly. On paper, it may figure out that way.
On the basis of experience, it may prove the reverse,
u.st as the World War lasted much longer than anyone
epected. As to that, and the relative economy of mod
ern warfare, no one knows for certain. Needless to say,
it is to be hoped we don’t have occasion to know.—(The
Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Another sign that conditions are easing up is this
national and international discussion of strip-teasers.
