Professor Alter Addresses Forum on Preparedness
24
Much Discussion Aroused by Reserve Officer's Presentation of Views
With his lecture on "Military Preparedness for Peace," followed by a storm of student discussion, Prof. Richard Cohen and the Officers' Reserve Corps, defended his points on the democracy and effectiveness of the present plan of military education with capable and effective staff. Y. M. C. A. forum at noon today.
Professor Alter began by tracing the development of the human race, noting that in the beginning the supreme virtue was selfishness. This was so, he said, because it was a necessary quality in struggling for existence, finding food, and preserving one's self.
"But with the development of man's body, came a new shrewd mind of his. His mental progress outshadowed the physical, virtue arise." *Author After.*
New Virtue Arises
No.147
"The law of love and unselfishness replaced the old virtue, and the objective became that of passing down to the rest of the race the best that could survive from the present one," was his next statement
Thus he explained the necessity of preparedness, saying that possibly martyrns are necessary in some causes, but not when it means also destroying what belongs to the best in the race. "The present system of military training is not the sort that develops an army to use for invasion of another nation, but it gives the maximum training for the minimum expenditure, without interfering with ordinary business," said Professor Al-
We are not perfect in this unsuccessfulness yet, by far, according to Professor Alter. But in the effort to preserve the best in our civilization for the rest of the race, we should guard against extermination.
No Compulsory Training
"I am not in favor of compulsory military training," he continued. "I would be as serious a mistake as doing away with, armies altogether."

Iard Liquor Will Never Stage U. S. Comeback, According to Andrews
leadly Poison Removed From Alcohol; Oil Ingredient Has Been Added
(Hooded Press)
Washington, April 1-4. Hard liquor will never stage a comeback in the United States, in the opinion of assistant secretary of the treasury, Lincoln C. Andrews, who today celebrated the second anniversary of his taking office as the dry generalissimo of the federal prohibition forces.
"I sincerely believe that even without probitation, drinking of hard liquors would have disappeared." Andrews said. "Such drinking was becoming unpopular before the war and the consumption of hard liquor handicaps men who are taking part in the high powered existence of today.
Repeal Unsecured竿
"Be the first to know Before the Volunteer Act became effective, hard drink was condoned in military circles, in business and particularly in industry. Employers would not be rebrutated who were known so be nebratives."
Andrews said that he realized there is still "some smuggling of liquor," had industrial alcohol continues to be diverted into booqtage channels and hot breweries now and then get out a few carloads of real beer."
"The supply, however, has become difficult and very unsatisfactory," be continued, and the customers of the bootleggers are becoming disgusted with the poor quality of their wares and are dropping them from the order to drinker drinkers. Many drinkers swear off while others make their own for a short time."
Work Is Not Rapid
Andrew said that the government work was such a gigantic task that it cannot be accomplished in a moment. "The idea that government agents are going to do this or that is being done is a wrong impression," he said.
A great advance is looked for immediately as many new changes in the federal dry organization become effective today. The major developer of a new refrigerator alcohol for pyridine is a denaturant for industrial alcohol, thus eliminating a deadly poison and putting in an oil ingredient that is claimed to be unbrittle. Boolegers can only rank case cocktails" with this change.
Andrews, when asked if he intended to retire soon said, "I have already been in office long." He has several months longer, and it may run into a year".

World's Nations Arrange Finances for Preparedness
Armament Costs Stagger Countries, Say Leaders of League at
League Geneva
Geneva, April 15. The League of Nations has failed in its years of efforts toward disarmament. The nations of the world now arrange their resources to bear the tremendous burden of armed preparedness on a global scale. To help cope with food of three billion dollars annually, Europe and the world generally continues to stagger under the present armaments load with only two hopes for decreases, and even those promised only slight relief; (4) There will be no longer a period of service for European's conspiracies armies; (2) President Coolidge's three-power incumbrance may reduce naval armaments somewhat.
That was the way competent spokesman frankly outlined the situation after the first 10 days sessions of a laboratory disarmament conference here.
With the failure of the commission to wring from Europe's leading conscript nations any measure for actual reduction of armies, no greater success was expected with either naval or air armaments. That means Europe's five leading nations, England, France, Russia, Italy and Germany, together with Japan, will continue to maintain their present budget of $1,500,000,000 while the world budget of which the bulk is European will remain in the neighborhood of three billion annually.
England alone is now spending $13 per capita on armaments; France nearly $6; Italy, $4; Japan, $3.70; Russia, $15.00; Germany, $1.70; in addition to the world's leading conscript nations who will continue to deprive their young mankind of the most productive periods of their life for their military training, while reserve classes up to age 21 are being obligated for summons to the colors.
The leading conscript natias of the world are France, France, Italy, Belgium, Poland and Czecho-Slovakia. With Japan these nations, claiming the necessity for national security, have taken action to impose restrictions would alter present size of their armies, decrease their maximum permanent reserve or change their conscript system, except that they agreed with the French in a present period of conscript service.
While the commission must still discuss the problem of armament budget it was not expected that any nation would accept any limitation which would prevent the maintenance and armament of the armies which they refuse to reduce.
The commission today decided next to consider aerial effects, leaving until the last question of naval limitations upon which a bitter fight would be waged. Great Britain, United States, Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy in the thick of it.
