They favor a relatively small standing army, evidently upon the theory that the nation will not require the use of mil- jlions of fighting men in any fu- ture war, or that if such a need arises the country will have ample time to train its fighting men. Both conclusions, in our opinion, are extremely doubtful and might, in the event of sud- den attacks, involve the life of this nation. We are conscious of the dan- gers of militarism but we hardly think that the average American soldier will subscribe to the theory of “might makes right”, just because he undergoes a per- iod of training in the art of war- fare. The year that the young man spends in military service will acquaint him with the value of discipline, improve his physi- cal health and provide exper- ience that will, be valuable in later life. In fact, unless these benefits are attained through some other process, compulsory military training will add to the education of the average Amer- ican boy.
