Military Spending and National Bankruptcy

The trend toward bankruptcy of the great nations of earth is manifest in the vast expenditures for army and navy purposes. When a nation spends more for destructive purposes than it does for productive enterprises, the end must be destruction, sooner or later. And that is just what the “world powers” are doing. Taking our own country as an illustration, there is thirty times as much money spent on the War and Navy Departments as on the Agricultural Department. And this difference is small as compared with that of some other countries.
