NOME, ALASKA, JAN. 21, 1916- j
The stand taken by Senator Cum
mings relative to the manufacture of
war munitions is one that will com
mend itself to all thinking Americans,
if the country is going to arm on the
noun that such armament is rn'.y for
purpo.es of defense it should oy all
means lake cure that tha immense re
source of force thus created shall not
be employed for other uses than those
tor which they were designed. It has
• ig been pointed out that there is an
immense incentive for thpse engaged
i tiie private manufacture of war sup
plies to foment international trouble
wot..ever and wherever it shall serve
itieir interests and it has frequently!
been intimated that armament makers
are the must industrious spreaders of
racial antagonisms to be found. Their
work is done in secret, however, and
. as been conducted by methods which
could seldom lie shown as having any
beating on the occasional conflicts
which tear at the structure of clvillza
iion. But, that they have a very de
i wled hand in shaping the conditions
li-a.ilng up to great conflicts, cannot be
c,r ..bted in view of the testimony which
ha* been given at intervals concerning
(heir subtile activities.
In both France and Germany It has
been shown that the munitions manu
facturers have been connected with the
spreading of literature calculated to
cause racial hatred and antagonism,
literature which appealed to the most
i rutal passions and inclinations, and it
has even been shown with seeming
certainty, in one instance at least, that
:l particularly vicious pamphlet which
received wide circulation in France
was paid for by the munitions and gun
manufactures The crime, for crime
It was, was never brought home to
them conclusively, it is true, but the
Inference was so closely established as
to leave little doubt as to their re
sponsibility in the minds of unpreju-1
diced wltneses.
It Is not to be doubted that what i
has taken place in Europe would take
place here as well is the event that we
offer an incentive by piling up a vast
national armament. Should we pro
ceed with the preparedness scheme
along the lines suggested by the ad
ministration, there is not the slightest
doubt that the munitions makers would
take advantage of the first occasion
which presented Itself to force the
country Into war for the sake of the
profits to be derived from the sale of
their products.
All possibilities of this character
could, as Senator Cummings suggests,
be obviated by placing the manufac
ture of munitions and other war ma
terial entirely In the hands of the gov
ernment. By this means would be re
moved every incentive for private in
dividuals to take a hand In fomenting
international discord for the very sim
ple reason that there would be noth
ing in it for them and war would con
sequently have no allurements. De
stroy the possibility of profits and
there will be none who will have any
desire for war unless it be for justice
and the right
PREPAREDNESS FOR PEACE
(Philadelphia Enquirer.
There has been much talk about
preparedness for war, but what about
preparedness for peace? That Is a
subject which must be a growing one
as the presidential campaign approach
es There is increasing industrial ac
tivity The textile mills are hard hit,
to be sure, because of the lack of
dyestuffs, but In some other lines there
are Instances where labor is not meet
ing the demands for Increased forces
Money is pouring Into the country. The
balance of trade in our favor is mount
,ng upward. But men who ctop to
think are not deceiving themselves.
They recognize that a very great por
ion of this activity Is the result of
nternatlonal emergency and that It Is
nything but permanent. The war
nay end suddenly or It may be pro
onged. But If It should end tomorrow
where would It leave us In a business
way? Less manufacturing on the other
side of the Atlantic acted like a pro
tective tariff. Demands for supplies
for the armies set our manufacturing
wheels (.-turning. But»let those de
nands cease and the flood of cheap
roods start In again, where, then,
could he our present activity’

(Boston Kecord.)
The Panama canal slide is playing

nought we are not involved as a na-,

f Vladivostok are plied high with war
upplles, as railway facilities are ln
dequate to meet the demands of the
Russian army. Four hundred and fifty
