Preparedness debate mirrors politics and spending
The piece argues for strong preparedness, criticizing past underutilization of funds and private interests. It cites President Wilson and Louis Brandeis nominees as signs of a battle over naval strength, coast defense, and government control of munitions plants, with calls to tax wealth and curb private rackets. It notes political conventions and local county actions and lists various fiscal allocations and orders from Stevens County board meetings in February 1916.
