ARMAMENTS AFTER THE WAR.
Almost as romantic as the saint’s
vision of things after death, appar
ently are the delicious dreams which
are forecasted by the militarists as
to conditions after the great war is
over.
They see as in an ecstasy the en
tire nations of the world armed to
the teeth, and one is recently quot
ed as suggesting that Germany line
her borders with system of tren dies
and have a huge reserve, army
ready to man threatened points at
all fronts.
Like a game of cards where fol
lowing suit is mandatory by the
rules of the game the oth ‘r nations,
then, would have to do likewise, and
Europe would not only be an areied
camp, but the world would be actu
ally in a state of defense prepare 1
for offense.
It is quite needless .<> s.t. that
American publicists who have been
exciting the imagination with pre
paredness details will themselves
denounce such a condition wholl.,
regardless of the fact that by their
fanatic zeal for armaments i t tbi;
country, they would foist upon the
western hemisphere a similar state
of affairs. Therefore it needs the
cool common sense of a socialist
writer like Georg Gothein. himself
a German socialist, and quoted in
the Industrial Union News, to sum
niarily subject these visions 10 ana
lysis.
Goth* in points out with consider
able ability that for a short time
after flie war, the terrible embit
t rment which it has engendered
between the nations will be in
creased rather than diminished, hut
eventually “the war psychosis will
pass away and the need to resume
trade relationships will enforce per
sonal intercourse between the rival
belligerent groups”.
He states that the poverty and
wretchedness which will have been
caused by the war and which will
have been brought home to almost
every family group, will pave the
way for a permanent peace move
ment more effectively than ever.
But he dwells tvith emphasis upon
the financial condition of the warr
ing nations compelling rather a re
striction in their military and naval
organizations, than an increase.
It is hard to resist the logic of
his statements. The destruction ot
property and the squandering of the
national wealth has been so great
that national impoverishment will
be the condition of all belligerents.
The idea of a war indemnity being
exacted by one nation or another is
cast aside as highly improbable by
this writer. The enormous losses in
„ human material will mean that the
\»*o r ttrill ItfflT
less than the costs of pensions which
will have to he paid widows and
orphans. The sum needed will he
enormous. Talcing then the require
ments of the national debts and the
interests and liabilities thereon, it
is obvious that this will take up a
huge sum per annum. For Germany,
Cothein calculates it will mean
$1,875,000,000 per annum. Yet. he
points out the military and naval
estimates for Germany in 1914,
which excited so much and such
emphatic opposition, amounted only
to $395,000,000.
“The task of shouldering the
colossal burdens imposed by the
war will be rendered far more diffi
cult because hundreds of thousands
of the most efficient workers will
have been killed or crippled in the
struggle. The taxes will have to be
met by a greatly reduced number of
tax payers. Taxation will fall
ly upon the produce of the surviv
ors, and will impair their ability to
compete with the lands that have
remained neutral. The home market
in the belligerent nations will be
greatly restricted owing to lack of
purchasing power. It is'true that in
Germany whose productive areas
have remained unaffected by the
war, there is likely to be at first
great activity in order to provide
the vast supply 6f commodities ot
which there will be a deficiency
when the war comes to an end; but
this vigorous demand is not likely
Lo last very long”.
For these reasons Gothein rightly
concludes that ‘‘All the Powers will
find it absolutely impossible to meet
expenses resulting from the war if
they attempt to maintain their ex
penditures upon armaments at the
old level, and 'a fortiori’ if they
attempt to increase that expenditure
Their only resources will be to re
strict armaments. Even if they do
not grasp this fact immediately
after 'the war, the increasing finan
cial needs of the firs', years of
peace will soon enforce it-* recogni
tion. The only way out will be an
international understanding for the
limitation of armaments. Before
the war no such agreement could be
secured; but after the war it will
be enforced by bitter need”.
And Gothein concludes this able
review by declaring that ‘‘once the
nations have learned to recognize
the advantage of international dis
armament, their desire for it will
grow, all the more because the pre
sent war will have sickened them
of the ‘ultima ratio regum’.
International disarmament will
come, notwithstanding all the na
tional embitterments; it will come
for the simple reason that the na
tions will be unable to sustain the
oofts ,ot armaments in addition to
the burdens imposed upon them b>
(ho war”.
It is quite significant that the
contrary view should be used as the
liasis for an entirely new scheme of
national preparedness In
industry '
and matters of war in the United i
States; that instead of realizing :
with candor the logic of the circum
stances in Europe, the contrary con
dition is being held out as the cer
tain result of the war so that the
United States may properly “pre
pare”.
The fact of the matter is that
militarism is killing itself off in
Europe. Every day that the war
prolongs itself it is driving a nail
in the coffin of huge military arma
ments. It is bankrupting the coun
tries which could support such ex
cessive burdens, for It is placing
upon their backs a burden which
will require all the strength of the
nations to carry without the addi
tion of the former peaceful estab
lishments of the military organiza
tions.
This does not apply America.
This country has acquired wealth
while the others spent their portion.
What Europe had, America now has
and with that having, the United*
States is well equipped to enjoy an
orgy of military and naval organizu
lion the like ot which the world has
never seen. The days of the im
perialists are approaching. And the
time is coming when the United
States may be the most powerful in
i all the world. It can have the
largest navy and the strongest army
in the world, and it can set out to
spread American rule over the seven
seas and the lands contiguous there
to.
This vision is worthy the miltiar
ists. No wonder they are super
active; ancf that the country is to
begin with militarism where the
older nations which have been done
to death in their suicidal struggle
have left off, is their vision.
A departure from American stand
ards and American principles in
theory as well as practice will alarm
none, if national security leagues
and preparationists do their work
well. They have mohey enough to
be thorough any way.
