Disarmament
By PHILIP B. WINDSOR, Associate Editor of Tryon Daily Bulletin
Continued from yesterday.
It is thus clear that the mere reduction of armaments unaccompanied
by satisfactory adjustments of the political and economic difficulties
which contain the real and ultimate causes of conflict, must result in
making war more, rather than less, probable; which is, of course, pre
cisely what its advocates desire to avoid - at least, so they claim. This *
result is, however, so obvious to any open minded thoughtful person || ■
that one is led to question seriously the complete sincerity of some of %
those who clamor loudest for disarmament,
It should be observed also that an all around reduction
of any given percentage does not necessarily leave the nations concerned
with the same relative military power. This raises a technical quftgpiaa<‘6f
great complexity involving geographical positions and relative
from or vulnerability to, attack from different classes of arniartients.
Roughly the complexities of this problem may be indicated by the ob
vious fact that wholly disarmed Poland would be more vulnerable to at
tack ftom disarmed Soviet Russia than would England. The point is
that all around reduction of armaments of a given percentage is not as
simple or as practicable as it sounds and reflecting upon this fact arouses
the suspicion that it may have been proposed more for the effect of its
“sound” upon an unthinking public than for any other reason.
