SHVSULS CANFORE CUT N ARMANENT Moral Suasion or World's Largest Navy Suggested by Senator Walsh. (Continued From Pirst Page.) the only means left to secure-disarma- ' ment. No other nation ean have any| but the second largest armament if we | exercise our power. We should incor- porate in our statutes establishing in- creased military forces, provisions to the effect that we will disarm as rapidly as all other nations of the world, that the nation capable of establishing the great- est armaments does not want arma- ments, but abhors them and stands ready and eager to use its power to possess the greatest armaments in the world in-order, to drive all armaments from the face of the earth.’ Full Text of Speech. | Tt was 10 years ago vesterday that | the treaty of Versaills was signed. What, in the intervening decade, has| been done toward _the securing of | permanent world peace? Peace advo- cates will naturally think of the League | of Nations and the World Court. Yes, some political machinery has been set up which points in the direction of | internationa) peace and the harmonieus settlement 'of human affairs. But America is not a part of that ma-| chinery. Furthermore, there is a wide difference of opinion’ as te the real value of these political instruments for warld peace and their effielacy in as- suring the end of wars In this radio talk I do net propose to diseuss this controversial American sub- jeet. I purpose to discuss disarmament and peace education from the moral t of view as absolutely essential Ter the outlawry of war. Two Kinds of Disarmament. There are two kinds of disarmament with which we are, and always have been, concerned. The one is material, it runs in urn;x of guns, 'lhl , mln; power, economic power; in terms o naval parities, lug:mr\fin butlding programs, and the like. The dther kind of disarmament is of & more tangible, but no less real, sort.. Tt'ls a moral disarmament—splritual disarmament, if you please. It runs in. terms of principles, not instruments; in terms of mutuality, respect for law, idealism, belief in mankind's inherent sapse of justice. It is the sort of thing which works through the forces of education, religious and social. There are no great fleets, no booming of guns, no blaring of bands, no waving of flags, to herald it. It is epitomized in none of these mighty forces which ap- | peal to the senses of man, And stir him to the very depths. In this lack of outward appeal edueation for peace has a certain weakness. Nearly evervthing | in our present industrial age ap- peals to man’s love of order. mechan- isation, regimentation—virtues which militarism _has ever been alert to adopt and augment. And vet education for cultural and- scientific ends has made gigantic strides, by virtue of those inherent qualities in man which listen to reason. And by the same token, education for world peace can, 1 be- leve, make its greatest progress. Material or Moral Disarmament. e -old question is before us— “Te';her-r;nu or spiritual forces rule the world we live in. Is o or by first educating mankind away disarmament come rt, tically, that one must come first, to filmmn of ma, other, e‘: glht.e tnly ‘absurd as trying to answ E :.hnt riddle as to whiéh came first, the hen or the egg. Physical and moral dis- armament are both instrumentalities l_n; the same direction—peace; and who can | deny that both must proceed together? | ‘We have recently, in the Kellogg peace t, renounced war as a legitmate and awful means for the settlement of in- ternational problems. This is, in fact, the first step in the direction of what we may call moral disarmament. It operates solely in the moral 'fi:’m' The nations may still build their battleships. submarines, airships, maintain armies, and manufacture munitions and pois- onous gases as before, as far as the letter of the pact is concerned. But it is the spirit of such a pact that counts. Even with no limits or re- strictions upon spending unlimited sums of money in preparation for war, and with the existence of treaties and conventions between groups of nations to go to war under prescribed condi- tions, vet in my opinion we have no yeason to assume that such a treaty Sets up no barriers, or that it would break down at the first flush of na- tional jealousy or anger. Pacts to outlaw war, when t! specify no ways or means to that end, are of necessity based upon the value of moral barriers. How powerful are those bar- riers? And how can they be made more powerful? Among individuals are not most_barriers primarily moral and mot merely the existence of policemen, pris- oms, courts and judges? It is the spirit which is imbued into the moral forces of civilization, which is the barrier against crime. If it were not for this spirit in the world, civilization could never have endured. Must Understand Importance of Peace. Peace can be made a powerful senti- | ment in the average man once he is| properly informed as to its importance to_civilization, and. to him. t him fully understand the new role which he must play in future wars; that the bur- dens of war rest chiefly upon him; that b the wars of the future are to be not be- tween armies and navies, but the air- plane, the submarine, poisonous gases, and other war inventions, used, as they | will be, to wipe out and destroy peoples, | ‘will be directly against the individual. Educational forces throughout the world must be set in motion aehdICh will | not only show present unsetf peace canditions of the world, but which will appeal to the enlightened self-interests oF mankin. The masses of b beings every- where must realize who are responsible for war and center their attention upon Temedies at the fountain source. Who | are the war makers? The man in the street does not want war. It is he who must meet its terrible drafts of life and | heslth: of man power and woman power | and national resources, of taxes and waste and destruction; of corruption and | viglence and oppression, ‘The average citizen does not cherish the ideas that provoke war—hate and hypocrisy, fear and suspicion, industrial or commercial selfishness, deceitful propaganda, cunning and cireumvention, espionage and treachery. He is guilt- less of the common cause of war-ambi- tion, e nd national rivalry. He knows too well what war has al- ways meant for him and his children. He may now be inarticulate. but once he is persuaded of the vast and incur- able immorality of war, he will hail with' joy every argument or plan that tends to abolish it or diminish its men- aoe. ' This common und:rnlndk*f must | be made articulate. If s0. it will make | outlawry of war the one sentiment that is paramount to the spirit of na- tipnalism. Religion Must Make Appeal. ‘Religion, all religion, must make the peace appeal. By religion I mean that natural religion to which every heart can be led to humanity; that religion that points out the eriminal and im- | moral character of most wars and its upspeakable horrors; that religion which cgeates moral forces of justice and charity, to which we owe all that is permanent in our civilization. Unless rell educates the modern youth in every part of the world on solemn out- lines of justice and charity, I see little \ hope for universal and lasting peace. limitation of armaments, of 1922, and fremuu.eldudlp’tfldl WAT RS- Ry tem?

It should be <i such & sharacter_ as to make evidnt to the world our absolute sincerity of purpose and our determination to leave nothing unéone to attain the goal of world dis- armament. Much of disarmament talk in the last 10 years I fear has been largely for Ynllt\eal consumption and advantage. think few people in the world believe that the disarmament talk of statesmen has been sincere. Frankly, and eandidly, what real effective efforts have_been made toward disarmament? If suth a moral eampaign as I have out- | lined fails after being given a reason- able trial, then there is left for America what is conceded on all sides that we | ean do, namely, establish the greatest armament in the world. Once the plain men and women the world over are imbued with the educa- tional and spiritual ideals of peace and | thejr power is internationally co-ordi- nated, they will demand from their statesmen good faith——that is, honesty Inmpou and expression and a reali- zation that no cause is ever settled until it is settled rightly and that human beings are fallible, and. therefore, we must observe the golden rule and deal with our neighbor as we want him to deal with us. Care should be exercised in distin- guishing between the principles of peace and the instruments which have been, or may be, set up to govern the inte national political agencies for peace. The international peace - instruments which have been set up do not renounce war; in fact, one of the objections made in America to these instruments which have béen $ét"up was that they recog- nized and supported the doctrine of force as a means to peace, : ‘Whatever differences there may be | over the efficaciousness of the political | international institutions for peace there should be no .difference in areus- ing & massed world-wide opinion to | a te renounce war and to settle the | differences between nations by peaceful | methods. The massed opinion will give | a moral sanction to the Kellogg peace | paet that will outlaw {rom the society | {of nations those governments which | break their solemn obligation to set- tle their differences by peaceful means. Such an awakening of the intelligent | public opinion of the world will make war internationally impossible and give | the necessary moral sanction to the | peace pact. { | Must Consider Political Forces. | oo Prosheri But while these intangible forces. namely, a world-wide moral consclou: ness for peace—are at work, and must in the last analysis decide the issue | be | Detween war and peace, there are cer- tain political forces which must not be disregarded. The conference for the signatory treaties have been appropriating more money and elaborating larger mili- taristic programs during = thi period than ever before. The republic of France is today maintaining a Xarlerl armed force, with Germany disarmed, | than it did in 1014, when Germany was armed. With Austria and Hun- | gary disarmed, by reason of the peace | treaties .of 1919-1921, the succession states—namely, Czechoslovakia, Ru- mania and Jugoslavia—maintain today larger- armies than was maintained by the former. Austro-Hungarian Empire. Since the Washin, disarmament treaty of 1922, excluding vessels to be | completed under the treaty, Great Britain has lald down and “appro- priated for” for naval expansion 288,684 tons—74 vessels. Japan has laid down and appropriated for in the same period 125 vessels with an aggre- gate. tonnage of 361,452 tons. France, with 119, and Italy, with 83 new vessels, icularly submarines and destroyers, ave closely followed the example of | Great Britain and Japan. All have far exceeded the efforts of the United States in both total tonnage and in new naval vessels. During this period the United States, up until the of the cruiser bill, alone among the gowers of the world refused to increase er military armament. Exclusive of six small river nboats for use in China we have lald down only 11 new vessels, with a total tonnage of 88,200. Let me recapitulate: Since the Wash- ington reduction of naval armaments treaty of 1922, excluding vessels per- mitted to be completed under that treaty, the great powers of the world have laid down and “np})roprhud for” for naval expansion, as follows: Japan, | 138 vessels; Great Britain, 74; France, 149; Ttaly, 83, and the United States, up ‘until the time of passage of the | cruiser bill, exclusive of small river | nboats, 11. But I am not enumera- ing this record of naval building for purposes of comparison, but to show | that the world is arming instead of dis- arming since the World War. | Cost of Military Is Enormous. The cost of military establishments | to mankind is enormous. The men and women who toil and draw a salary and live under a fixed income must pay for these crushing burdens. From the end of the last century down to the date of the World War armaments were in- creased enormously and 5,000,000 were kept idle in barracks and $8,000,000,000 lrnt in their surport. The support of the: se soldiers and the maintenance of | 4id not take away from her the perse- these armaments was drawn from the production of the men and women who toiled. The war did not end this sys- tem. It is going on now, We must dis- cover a way by which we ecan escape from the disasters that persistence in militaristic enterprises threatens bring upon the whole human family. In former days armaments were de- | fended on the ground that they made for peace; that without armaments the nations would all be fighting. It has now become the accepted belief that instead of making for peace they actu- ally tend to render war inevitable. In- deed, nations that maintain large armies are aiready at war. Instead of destroying the property of one another they are at war destroying the sub- | stance of their own people. The folly of large armies and navies takes away from men, women and children the cup of plenty and abundance which the bountiful Creator has placed upon the earth for their happiness and well- bel.n! There is only one use for arma- ment and that is war—to ctrike an enemy. Agreements to withhold declarations of war for any given period, six mont or a year, are of dublous value. Believes U. 8.
