War Is in the Air
Anderson, Paul Y. | February 19, 1938 issue

Americans who want peace and don't want higher taxes had better rouse themselves to the shape which events are taking in Washington. During the last three weeks the martial spirit, needled by the navy's brass hats and nourished on notes to Japan, has grown with enormous speed. The whole business has a nightmarish quality, but taxpayers will soon learn there is nothing unreal or comic about the expenditure of U.S. $800,000,000 for naval expansion. A significant and revealing feature of that part of the expansion program already authorized, as well as that merely proposed, is the increase in the number of battleships.
