It is indeed practically impossible to raise this proposed army by the usual methods. another potent and sufficient reason why it should not be raised at all. Such legislation as this will come as a shock to a large portion of our population. particularly the foreignborn portion of it. because those people have sought asylums here to avoid this very species of military system. These immigrants. and some of them are of our best type of citizenship. came here to rid themselves of just such military establishments. In their own country they and their fathers had seen such systems gradually growing. until today they overshadow. like huge birds of prey. whole countries. The enforced military service of the nations of Europe has depleted their populations and diminished their taxable values.
