East Spells "War"
With Dollar Mark,
Says Kansas Prof.
Patriotism
Many in Atlantic States More Interested in Profits Than Patriotism
Many persons in the East are viewing this country's entrance into the world war as a war being waged for their profit or whatever they can get out of it. Such was the attitude found by B. F. Moore, associate president of the University of Kansas, who returned from Washington and New York last week. While in the capitol of the country, he studied conditions in Congress and the attitude taken by persons connected with the government of the country to pursue interests in muniton plants, and shipping companies.
Washington is crowded by hundreds of persons, a majority of whom have gone there to help the Nation in its war work and are working for practically nothing, Mr Moore said. The city, usually deserted in summer is as lively as New York in the winter months. Many men from university and college faculties from every part of Washington have been in Washington this summer working in and any capacity they could be of service and for small pay. Men who receive four and five thousand dollars a year at their school work have being receiving $25 a week and they would have worked for less if such a salary had been fixed.
In spite of the inclination of the average person in the East to leaf on the job, said Mr. Moore, the administrative part of the government is rushing war preparations through at high speed. The War Department is not preparing for three months of fighting, which was a mistake England made. Rather, they are getting ready for a 3-year campaign.
Now that war actually has come, the East which had so much war talk is falling behind in its war work, Mr. Moore believes. Practically all eastern states have also been involved in the army, navy, and national guard. These gaps are being filled by men who have been drafted. The east, being interested in many war industries, looks pretty closely at the business side of the war. Because they can make $6 to $7 a person, as semi-skilled munition or many persons naturally have a tentency to measure the war in dollars and cents.
In contrast to this attitude, Mr. More found some of the higher government officials working hard for a dollar a year salary and their love of country. The assistant to the secretary of agriculture is the important assistants to the Food Commissioner, draw one dollar a year each for their work.
Men in the ordinance department of the government are working overtime. All hours in the government employment have been lengthened and most of the departments are working in two shifts, and most of the night. The White House is guarded day and night, at night by a cordon of twenty national guardsmen.
Many leaders at present in the Senate have been put in office by manufacturers and men making the most out of the war, and these Senators naturally do not feel inclined to boost a measure that would injure their friends back home. Mr. Moore declared. He explained that, although that it was human nature for the leaders at Washington to turn to the easiest means of getting money to carry on the war and that was by taxing all
products. It was simply a form of war hysteria which comes during the first year of any war, he said.
Bridges and waterworks in the East are being guarded by civilian guards, policemen in most instances. Few cities in the East have home guards or business men's regiments. Mr. Moore said that Kansas City probably was the first city in the land to have such an organization.
The day before Mr. Moore left the capital there was a huge military parade of 80,000 men in honor of the men who had been called into service. Most of the price in the Cabinet wore silk hats and formal dress, but President Wilson wore a straw hat, a blue cost and white trousers.
