To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
To CRIMSON is to be congratulated on the strong stand for peace that it has recently taken.
It is well that college men, especially, should perceive clearly the fallacies of the militarist arguments. For Germany or Russia to adopt the Swiss system in place of their present enormous armaments would be a step away from militarism, a measure of progress; but for the United States to adopt such a plan would be a distinctly retrogressive policy. Moreover, if there is any one lesson that the present war has taught, it is that, for us, at least, such a program as this is totally unnecessary. Neither our geographical nor our political position warrants any specific preparation for war Instead we should bend all our efforts to preparing for the coming peace. The summer training camps should hereafter be known for what they really are, the thin end of the militarist wedge. A. SOPHOMORE
