Our late unpleasantness in Europe cost this Nation $40.000.000.000. and it would cost many times that huge national expenditure to win a war with Asia. The big interests and men with big incomes who are so determined. at all hazards. to secure a reduction in their taxes should do a little figuring on the cost of a war with Asia. There may be some. who do not "anticipate" an AsiaticAmerican war. There are no doubt others who do not wish to concede that we are "preparing" for such a war. But the fact remains that we are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to be ready for It when It comesfortifying Manila. making Hawaii impregnable. protecting the Pamana Canal. patrolling the Pacific with our Navy. and launching our naval airplanes for flights to Asia.
