jDeclares Nation That Talks War

"Talk pence nnd we'll have It. Tnllt
jar and we'll have wnr."
This is the assertion of General Wil
liam 0. Price, wlio linn just returned
ftt)tn Washington, where he npnenrcd
i ibeforo the Senate committee on military
: AfTntrs and strongly opposed universal
j fcilHtary training.
I "It Is folly for n nation to start new
) tallltary organization and plani for the
- "building of an army when she has not
, (decided on any definite policy for the
j future' ho said today.
4 I "With our international policy and
me ODiisauons mat win remit irom
ho peace treaty as unsettled as they
jjire, it Is impossible to decide widely
Tfrhnt sort of a military policy we hlinli
pursue,
1 "The proposed universal training
would, be unnecessary, untimely and
dangerously extravagant. Wr aic in a
position to wait until we get our na
tional nnd international bearings before
' ire decide on a plan m momentous to the
development of the country and involv-
! log ko great nn expense.
"We have an act now the national
' defense act of 1910 providing for a
4 Rational guard of 400.000 men, which
would be more than adequate protection
during thp years in which we are get
ting our bearings and finding exactly
"What sort of n military policy we should
pursue. Then, we must not forget that
' ifre have nhnt amounts to an urniv of
J 4.000,000 men right at tlie present
Jme.
Compares Past nnd Future Cost
"Before the war we spent S12.'!,000,-
90 a year on our army, and thought
, tjiat was an Immense sum. Now, after
ya have just gone through a wnr nnd
ure facing an industrial crisis we arc
I considering an nnnual expenditure on
the nrmj of from $500,000,000 to
i $1,000,000,000. I don't think the peo-
jile realize what this means, but thev
tH1 when they are taxed to support' the
I soldiers that the universal training bill
would call out.
"There is still another reason why
! 1 dq not feel that the people of this
t ,country will tolerate universal trainlnc.
It will make them suspicious that mii
4 ersal training is just a step toward
Universal service. Universal service

chevism. And I would much rather see
a smaller army as n guard against pos
sible bolslicvism than have a lot of
Bolshevists in the army.
"1 cannot see thnt we arc in any
danger of another wnr. Who Is there i
to fight us? Germany can't nnd Japan
doesn't want to, you may be sure of
thnt. And besides that, we hnvc the

If there ever Is another big war we will

Important right now to keep our navy
