Swarthmore College Professor Says it Instils Militarism. (Special to the Herald) 1 ‘Worcester, Mass., Dec. 18.—Military preparedness for this country was condemned in an address today before the Clark university conference on “The Problems and Lessons of the ! ‘War,” by Willlam I. Hull, professor of history at Swarthmore college. “Preparedness,” he said, “instils the poison of militarism not only into in- ternational relations; it militarizes national and individual life as well. respect for law and for the sanctity of human life; and yet our republic is summoned to prepare to engage in in- ternational anarchy and in the whole- sale destruction of human life. Is it possible that we are going to permit our beloved republic to enter upon that brutal path of militarism which inevitably must lead to the abyss? We are standing today at the parting of the ways. What shall we take? The irrational path of so-called ade- adequate justice? The United States has today the unparalleled op- portunity of answering this question the better way. “If our own great republic keeps the faith, and reassures the world both by precept and example that it has definitely turned its face from mili- tarism and towards judicial settle- be in a position, not only to play a ‘useful role in shortening the present iwar and influencing the terms of peace, but also in persuading the {world to adopt the American pro- gram.” REV.

The ministetr said that the calcula- tion concerning the results of the loan was incomplete and therefore he would quote no total figure. He could say, however, the country had answered the call. He declared that the loan had been made by French savings wnd that speculation played no part in it, M. Ribot also stated that the war expenditure, per month, was now 2,100,000,000 francs.

Ribot, “financial considera- tions took a secondary place. We did not think the war would last seven- teen months, and now no one can foresee when it will end.” In the course of the discussion, Deputy Jules Roche said the war al- ready had cost France 26 billion francs ($5,200,000,000) and her ene- mies 47 billion francs. Europe as a whole, he sald, has expended 194 bil- « lion francs.
