If the col- onel sees a move to ‘keep our country impotent against defense’ in form of preparedness except the Rooesevelt brand, then we beg to ex- press our satisfaction at being ‘with’ some of his opponents rather than | ‘with’ him. We favor the Swiss and Australian system of military service. | We favor ‘preparedness’ in the public schools, by means of textbooks written | exclusively by American-born citizens upon history and geography, by teach- ing more of European history and less of English history, by ‘preparing’ the bodies of our voung people through s in turning and swimming; compelling every public school student to learn one KEuropean guage in addition to the American; by developing an. American encyclopedia as our reference work in place ot the Encyclopedia Brittanica which hardly mentions our ‘Declaration of Inde- pendence’; by nationalizing the manu- facture of arms and ammunition for use of our government; by inculcating | stronger love for our government by means of laws that would benefit the poorer rather than the richer classes, so-called socializing laws; by compul- | sory military service for each physi- cally fit male and compulsory hospital training for each physically fit woman, each for a short period during high school and preparatory school courses; by government subsidy given to uni- versities and colleges that will grad- uate officers for our army and for our navy under United States regulations and control. “We don't know what a ‘German’ newspaper printed in the United States looks like. We publish an American newspaper in Chicago; it is printed partly in the German and partly in the American language. We don't know what Mr. Roosevelt means by a ‘German’ propaganda. We do know that we have no connection with the German government, nor with any foreign government, but that we are independent in finances as well as in politics and therefore dare to answer Mr. Roosevelt’s attack in a fearless and truthful manner, “To be sure we praise the German people for their military prepared- ness. Without it, there would be no Germany today. The proof of the pudding is in the eating of it. “But we do not advocate the Ger- man military system for the United States—at least not now. Were Can- ada inhabited by double the number of the people in the United States (Russia possesses twice the popula- tion of Germany) and Mexico by two- thirds the population we have (France bears that ratio to Germany) and were both Canada and Mexico ‘arming, ex- ercising and training’ soldiers and ma- rines in ever increasing proportions; then we would favor a stronger mili- taristic policy than Canada plus Mex- ico had adopted. “If there is any ‘moral treason’ or any other kind of treason’ in these doctrines, then we are guilty, other- wise not, Roosevelt preaches a kind of preparedness that requires an ex- traordinary ‘propaganda’ ta keep it from being forgotten by our people, for they want naught of a military oligarchy. We modestly preach a sane, moderate, military preparedness and a more thoroughly educational and physical preparedness.” ENGLISHMEN ARE A BIT ANTICIPATING Although End Of War Is Not In Sight, They Plan For Big Fair At Its Close.
