“Everywhere you go on the continent of Europe at this hour you see the conflict between militarism and industrialism. You see the expansion of industrial power pushed forward by the energy, hope, and thrift of men, and you see the development arrested, diverted, crippled, and defeated by measures which are dictated by military considerations.” MenEnergyHoursPowerMilitaryGoes OnDevelopmentConflictEuropeOppressionDeceptionConsiderationContinentsDefeatedExpansionArrestedThriftCrippledMilitarism Book:War and Other Essays Source: War and Other Essays
