The American Legion

Pacifists may extol the beauties of peace and denounce big appropriations for the army and navy, but that preparation for war is essentially necessary is best illustrated by the unhappy

plight of Belgium which had war forced upon it

Accounts of the violations of sacred treaties have

at last aroused the American people to their utter

helplessness should a powerful country, with a

well trained army and navy, make an attack.

One step in making the American army a more efficient fighting machine is the proposed "American Legion" which proposes to enroll the names of men who have served in the Army and

Navy and organizing them into various corps of

efficiency. Among the prominent men who are furthering the movement is Col. Roosevelt, who, with his four sons, has enrolled. It is reported that he has said in the event of war, he "will ask

Congress to authorize him to raise a division of

9,000 fighting men." This step is exactly what one would expect from a former president who during his administration raised the American navy to a standard which made it one of the most

powerful fighting units in the world. In endorsing the movement, the former presi dent says:

"The indispensable thing for every nation of

free people to do in tne present day is, with effi

ciency, to prepare against war, by making itself

able to defend its rights. It is idle for us to

trust to arbitration and neutrality treaties un

backed by force. It is idle to trust to the tepid

good will of other nations. It is idle to trust to alliances. Let us act justly toward others, and

let us also be prepared with stout heart and strong hand to defend our rights against injustice from others." In this connection it is sad to note that of the 20,000 men annually discharged from the Army, owing to the expiration of term of service, no record has been kept. The same obtains of the 15,000 sailors and members of the Marine Corps. Cadets of military schools and colleges and universities that have military instruction will be asked to join the new movement. Wireless operators, telephonists, machinists, chauffeurs and aviators are men whose services will be required in the Legion.

Economy Happenings ,

Another Congress Passes Today marks the close of the sixty-third congress. It will be distinguished in three ways : First, it has passed more legislation than any of its predecessors. Second, it has succeeded in amassing appropriations exceeding by many millions the largest ever authorized by any other congress. Third, it has sat a greater number of days than any other congress, having been almost continuously in session since early in April, 1913. Its outstanding features of legislative accom

plishments may be summarized as follows: A tariff revision law revised downward with the same irresponsible stupidity as the extreme protection tariff was drafted by the preceding Republican congress. A really creditable currency reform law, a federal trade commission law, anti trust legislation and the Adamson water bill. This congress has practically ignored the question of adequate national defense, beyond providing a slight increase of the navy, despite the fact that the nation stands practically unprepared as the greatest war of history rages. In the passing of this congress the nation falls heir to an almost depleted treasury. Some congress !

Editor Palladium Las Wednesday night, speaking to the Amherst college alumni, Robert Lansing, counsellor for the state department, said: "The path of neutrality is rough and uncertain.. Diplomacy today is wrestling with novel problems to which It must add natural justice and practical common sense. Neutral nations have to meet a series of problems that have never been solved. Things have to be done, not studied, these days. A question which is a week old is ancient history. Considering the customary slow and dignified ways of diplomacy, this 'touch and go' method of doing business was a decided innovation and compelled a radical change in the machinery through which our foreign affairs are conducted. "These are critical days for oucountry; how critical only those who are intimate with affairs can fully realize. It is a time for serious thought, a time for anxiety. Today when nations are swayed with unreasonable passion, when prejudice blinds them, when they 'see red'; when they misjudge their friends as well as their foes, is the time for us to avoid harsh judgment, to preseurve calmness in dealing with them, and to curb the natural resentment which arises when our acts are misinterpreted and we are charged with wrong motives and purposes. American citizens can not be too thankful that they have a president that we can trust to deal with the momentous and difficult problems ol the hou with wisdom, justice and patience, having equal regard for all and favor toward none, uninfluenced by popular clamor, unswerved in his determination to maintain strict neutrality, which this government has preserved throughout the war." I wonder how many of the violators of neutrality, whether of the mob spirit clamoring for war, or taking sides, or crying for an army and navy bigger

than any other nation, ever will see they are enemies to our nation? And if we are not for the United States, our own dear America first, before a party trying to find an issue or anything else, the poet has our . measure "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, who to himself has never said, this is my own my native land?" Where are the jingoes now who clamored for war a year ago with Mexico It may not be a year until these people that are opposing our beloved president, secretary Bryan and our na

tion in the crowning victory of his

tory (after- a whirlwind of victories

with Japan, Mexico, and over the tar-

if, trusts and money kings, with these

same rebels in our own camp) will be forever branded as traitors to the

nation while the war was on. If patriotic citizens, discreet and honorable men, we will, with one accord, support our country in this crisis of crises. When one warring nation, or the other, sinks one of our vessels or seizes it, and goods or anything of the kind, and our government lets munitions of war pass to the other side to check their violation of our neutrality, let no calamity howler set up on his haunches and alarm anybody teach him a lesson. Let us bear in mind our nation needs every one of us supporting the nation in its perfect duty and destiny of settling the international difficulties a3 they arise, as it has fully proved its ability and devotion to the God-given duty, and we shall then settle the affairs of all the world and point them all to higher ideals and the Prince of Peace. Let us join to make all things work together for good. Do we not all know that one of the greatest historical facts is the recent bloodless Christian republic of China,

recognized by oar government first, and that we get all the credit for it, which some of the European natiom raced against us to get some of the credit and honor? Now Japan demands political supremacy and commercial control in China, or virtually taking possession of China, which she Intends plainly to annex, and to have the backing of one of the European warring nationsthe one that backed her in the war against Russia a few years ago. China has appealed to us, and we have that problem to settle now, too. And things are as complicated in China as in Mexico. The president has
