The burden, hotvevfer, la not divided evenly; more than three-fourth* of thftt stupendous total belongs to tiif The appropria tions of the United .States for arma ments in that year total $18,187368, 442, or nearly four timelstfc jnncti In one year at?the?appropriations used io be In fourteen years: . The explanation, of couree. is that a large proportion of these thirteen bullous went for expenses connected wit* th^ dejpobolisatlon of our army In Europe, Is the statistics In many cases reach back Into 1919. Never theless. .our armament bill for 192Q was $18,000,000,000. as against only a hoof three bllliotas for tbe other four powers. This means that tbe 105,688. 108 Inhabitants of the United States are paying or will have to pay a sum which. If evenly distributed, would compel every man, woman and child to part With $124.
