Wilson stirs Vilard cites fear of armed camps
At a mass meeting by the antiwar committee in the Public Library Oswald Garrison Villard editor of the New York Evening Post attacked the administration for militarism. He warned that the push for militarization would wreck the economy by removing hundreds of thousands from work and intensify the naval buildup to an unprecedented scale by 1918. Other speakers urged scrutiny of preparedness and accused leaders of rushing war measures before public debate.
