The most er.trross'.nsr question be-1
fore the country today npiiears to be i
that of national ilefense. There Is no!
crisis, no imminent" peril menaeing j
our Kifety; but the European war
has driven home the everlasting prnb-j
lem and given it force and timeli-1
pess. I
If we should lie atlneked, how!
could we defend our shores and
ports? If an enemy gained lo'lpment
in our territory, how could we anni
hilate or expel him?
The people and the government are
seeking answers to these questions.
It is recognized by all except the
most Inveterate and unrestrained Jin
goes that the solution Is not a great
standing army. Militarism and Amer
icanism will not mix. Our citizens
will not stand for compulsory ser
vice, nor will they tolerate n great
military class no matter how It is or
ganized and maintained.

IS
COMING
TO
ASHEVILLE
I Public opinion favors a small
: standing army larger, perhaps, than
jit has been, but still small In compar
ison with those of other powers
I thoroughly trained and equipped, to
Bene as the nucleus of the forces
I that would have to be raised In caw
j of war. As for the great body of men
upon whom would be placed the real
dependence of the nation, they must
I always, as the president has pointed
; out, consist of "a trained citizenry." ,
j But how shall the government
I catch and train citizens for this great
reserve army of national defense;? It
was thought, when the LMck law was
j passed a few years ago, thut a suf II
cient milltla would be provided; but
In nearly every state enlistment lags,
attendance nt drill Is Irregular and
the militia system has largely fallen
Into disrepute.
Now comes Dr. Charles P. Steln
metz with a novel and striking sug
gestion. Steinmetx is chief consulting
engineer of the General Electric com
pany, one of the highest salaried men
In the world. He Is, by universal ad
mission, a genius. HI brnln, though
exercised chiefly In the realm of
electricity. Is not limited to natural
science. He Is recognized as a social
philosopher, a daring and original
thinker In the fields of economics and
sociology. And here is ths result of
his thinking applied to the solu
tion of two problems at once our
national defense, and our economic
; unemployment.
, Olve the unemployed men military
training that Is the life- in a nut
Fhell.
i "There are a million men out of
work In the United Ptates today.'
saye Rtelnmeti, ' .d a hundred thou
! sand men are Ma.rvlng." Thoe fig
ures may be questioned; exact statis
tics are hard to get. ITndoubtertly
there have been that many unem
ployed In recent months. With the
radual resumption of InduMry. un
der the stlmiilue of big crops and
1 reviving export trade, tm number Is
diminishing. But beyond question the
winter will be u hard one in some
pacta of tho country, particularly in
the large cities of tho east. And the
unemployment problem aiways
with us.
In fitelnmctz's apt phrase, there Is
no 'stabilizer" in tho labor market.
We have boom times or panics, ac
cording to thu ebb and flow of forces
over which the working muii himself
has no control. Hundreds of thou
sands are swept about helplessly by
tho tides of industry.
And the evil is larger In scope than
the poverty and suffering of men
thrown out of work by the malad
justment of any particular industry.
Their diminished purchasing power
Is a brake on the wheels of all In-!
dustry. A thousand moneyless men i
may cr"atu thousands more In other j
occupations and the eU tends to
spread in widening circles.
"What objection could there be,"
aske Ktelnmetz, "to the government
allowing men to enlist for three or
four months' training at any time
when the demand for labor had fail
en to a point threatening serious unemployment?
"The men so enlisted would be get
ting valuable instruction, their health
would be improved, they would be
drawing wages, they would not be a
drag upon production through being
unemployed.
"In the course of time this method
would provide the country, with a
splendid military reserve which
could easily be brought to a point of
war efficiency. The bonfeflclal effect
of such a course of action would be
two-fold. On the one hand, it would
aid In stabilizing labor conditions; on
the other, It would save us from a
repetition of the unpleasant occur
rences through which we went during
the Spanish war, when we had to Im
proviso an army over night out of
untrained volunteers."
Well, what objection would there
beT
