A Near Probability of “Imperialism”

A Near Probability of “Imperialism.”—The United States up to the late war appropriated for defense an average yearly sum of $83,500,000. There is expended for education $184,500,000. Germany spends for defense $165,000,000 to $90,000,000 for education; Great Britain, $200,000,000 for defense to $50,500,000 for education; and France, $182,000,000 to $39,500,000 for education. Under the proposed “imperialism” of America we shall see in this land, if not already present, a reversal of proportions. Henceforth war and defense—the army and navy budget—will be more than education. Is this part of the trend upward?
