HAKESPEARE | Tw # NA A AN TT The fat rib of peace Must by the hungry now be fed Mpon ~ King HA Act 11, Se King John, for the comduct wars in Franee, had ordered Fauleon- bridge to hasten to England to raise money and supplies by fair means or foul. In sending him forth he aptly personifiel peace and war; the ome is well-fed, prosperous, happy; the other is lean, hungry, insatisble. King John evidently had Pharsoh's dream in mind when he spoke. "Pharaoh dreamed: and behold, there came wp out of the river seven well-favored Kine amd fatfleshed; and they kd in the meadow. And, behold, soven ofher kine came up after them out of the river, il-favored and lean- feshad: and stoud by the other kine upcn the brink of the river. And the Hifavered and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favored and fat kine." Untler ordinary circumstances such a dream might have been mterpreted to mean that a prosperous nation was about to be devastated by war The history of. the world presents a series of Arita of 'peice and plenty follow ed by periods of war and depression The wes of war thut threatens the nations is ill-favored and leanfleshed. It hos a fierce hunger, and while: de vouring the enemy it devours the peo ple that have resorted to its aid. Sometimes the conquering nation has had ite resources so drawn upon in tite of war that it has been a greater sufferer than the vanquished, What is it that makes: the North Awmeriean continent =o desirable * The Atlantic swarms with vessels contin- ually carrying thousands of homeseck ers to Amerien. They aré fleeng trom lands where militarism holds sway; ill-favored var has been threat ening their lives, leanfleshed war has been devouring their substance. In ctomil of wéeing armed camps, they have visions. 8 wheat fields; instead of ersinale, factories. War has béen fead Z on thom; they are hard. wed, oli brains, timorous, America is to hem a promised land. There lies lib- erty wel; inevitable aecompani- ment of peace and industry, plenty. But even America gives abundant il lugtraticn of hungry war feeding on thay fat ribs of peace. The early colon ists had hewal. out homes in the for- ex's. The revolutionary war laid waste the fields, destroyed the home stonds and slaughtered the toilers. It made hers; but it made beggars too. Tt eelie gl great results, but there was nothing that it schieved that night not have been brogght about y peaceful methods. By 1X12 the na- on hed recovered from the results of 1 the of his | jand prosperous, so prosperous that it | { felt itself strong emough to contest at | | arms with the greatest ea power in * the world. As a result of the strug- gle the resources of the country were! 'wasted, the frujts of the toil of years destroyed. In New England in par ticular prosperous towns were ruined and never recovered from the blow struck at their commerce. The memory of the civil war iz stil! fresh, and its results are still felt. There are regions that yet feel the desolation wrought by "the sword and torch of the invader. The nation is still taxed, nearly a half century after the events, to pay obligations metr- red. Ro far as the United States was concerned "the war with Spain appar- ently left no evil results at home. But even that war fed on the fat ribs of peace; fortugately they were fat, und could stand a little reducing." Ir directly t war is still feeding on the nation. 'The United States through it entered the arena as a world power She could no longer feel secure with few warships fit only for police duty The products of peace had to be taxed to make her on sea a worthy rival] of England, Germany and Japan. Ci pital and labor are both being taxed to feed hungry war even in the United States. While thi. & being written "no wa trifling internal strife are at pe but hungry war is still preying on the ribs of pe we. The mcome tax in Eng land and the corporation tax in the United States would never have been or battle sqand is heard the world around"; all the nations save for some recpuired but for war and the need of being prepared for battle.
