Europe at War Costs and Calls for Disarmament
The article argues European armaments drain capital and human potential. It cites 500 million pounds yearly in costs plus 150 million more in debts, warns of mass conscription harming morality and economy, and advocates mutual disarmament and arbitration led by Britain and France. It traces Cobden, Disraeli, Cobden's 1851 motion, and later efforts by Cobden, the French Emperor, and others toward a congress and reductions.
