Controlling the Arms Makers
Engelbrecht, H. C. | November 13, 1935 issue

add to cart   close window

The U.S. National Munitions Control Board recently constituted is made up of the Secretaries of State, the Treasury, Commerce, War, and the Navy, though the actual work with the State Department. All these departments except the Treasury have a record and a tradition in munitions control. To begin with, the attitude of the Army and Navy departments is purely nationalist and militarist. They have no use for disarmament and their sole plan of national defense is a large army and an enormous navy. It is not surprising, therefore, that the feeling of these two departments toward the war industries amounts almost to affection.
