HOW MUCH WISER IT IS TO SPEND FOR PEACE
Nobody can say that the American people aren’t
getting plenty of advance warning about this much
talked-of next war.
The last one took us by surprise. Being surprised,
we floundered about in uncertainty; floundering, we got
into the war ourselves.
The new one is visible a long way off. No one
knows just where or how it will start, but that it is get
ting ready to start somehow, somewhere, no one can
doubt. And this time we have plenty of opportunity
to review war’s insanity and to make up our minds that
we don’t want to draw cards in it.
There is a helpful exhibit, in this connection, in a
little booklet issued recently by the Foreign Policy As
sociation. The booklet is entitled “Peace in Party
Platforms.” and the exhibit is a little compilation of the
things we could have done with the money we spent
in the World War.
To start out we could have bought a new car for
every family in the United States. We could have fur
nished that car with gasoline for a year. We could
have bought new clothing for father, mother, sister and
brother in every American family. We could have
equipped every American home with a mechanical re
frigerator, a radio, and a brand-new set of living room
furniture.
And we would still have had enough money left
over to give every family in the country weekly tickets
to the movies for a year.
If you would understand how completely and eter
nally cock-eyed this whole business of war really is,
just imagine what would happen if some American ad
ministration should propose, out of a clear sky. to spend
at once the money necessary to do all those things.
Suppose, for instance, that President Wilson had
proposed to do that in 1917. Suppose that the fateful
April session of congress had been called, not to declare
war on Germany, but to approve the purchase and free
distribution of all the goods listed above.
Would thre not have been a hoot of derision from
every city and town and country store in the land? We

would have assumed, unanimously, that the president
had gone stark mad. The proposal would have gone
down in our history as the supreme example of govern
ment felly.
And yet—wouldn’t it have been a lot smarter to do
that than what we actually did do?
So the next time someone invites us to take a hand
in a foreign war, it might pay us to say: “Thanks—but
we will just take the money that war cost us and buy
something useful with it.”—Exchange.
