The principal argument of the war interventionists that now is the time to get into the contest while Great Britain is still hot so to speak. One thing which they fail to discuss is whether or not the United States is prepared for war at this time. No wonder they do not discuss that question because the weight of the evidence seems against them. W'e all remember that Poland-Francand Great Britain were not leady for war when they plunged. What has happened since has not been exactly pleasant reading. There is no admission here or elsewhere that Hitler could do to us what he did to France, Boland and Yugoslavia. Certainly if he cannot cross the English Channel to attack Great Britain in force he would find it difficult to get into the United States. But this does not gainsay the fact that it is unwise to get into war until one is prepared. That we are not prepared, even for a defensive war, is evidenced by the fact that Uncle Sam plans to spend something like $15,000,000,000 for defense alone in this fiscal year. We believe that our army and our navy, man to man and ship to ship, are the finest in the world. But this does not mean that we are prepared for a long war at this time. Let us quote a few paragraphs from the Washington Daily News: Before we fight, face the facts. Well, the week end turned up an eloquent array of facts concerning both the state of the army and the state of the whole defense administration. Lieut. Gen. Ben Lear, analyzing a months maneuvers in Tennessee by the second arqiy, commented that unless the performance of commanding officers is improved, disastrous embarrassments and failures will be encountered during battle. He said cases were found where sergeants, corporals and privates in great numbers did not know the nature and details of the exercises being conducted. And this, he emphasized, is not the fault of the soldier. It is the fault of the officers above him, and it must he corrected. This judgment was elaborated by Hanson Baldwin military correspondent of the New Yoik Times, who said high army officers were of the opinion That not one American division is ready for war: That the armys modern tactics is primitive; That there are grave deficiencies in equipment, in training and tactics and leadership, and to a lesser ctent in discipline and morale. The report of the house committee on military affairs regarding our is no progress for more encouraging. Ict us not forget the old axiom that the time to prepare for war is in the time of peace. This is still the time of peace so far as vie are concerned and we are preparing for defensive , war which we hope will never occur. Let us continue to kei p it a time of peace so that we may all the better prepare for war. defense-buildin- SOLDIERS WHO FIGHT FIRE The loss by fire of a factory or of materials in storage, whether finished or waiting manufacture, is a loss to the defense operations in which this country is engaged, said Robert B. Barbour, president of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, recently. Even the burning of a home contributes to such loss. Prevention of fire waste is always a defense of our national for it is a waste well-bein- of g, of resources of the nation, that is needless. Those who are fighting fire today are enlisted in the nations defense. And they have enlisted for the duration. They are working to make our navy yards and military posts safe from fire. They are ferreting out the arsonist and the saboteur. They are making plans for defending our industrial establishments, our cities and our home against fire. And thus thev are building Americas defenses. They deserve and must have the full cooperation of all.
