The
United
States
had
been
obliged
to
pay
an
immense
sum
on
account
of
the
contract
with
the
War
Syndicate
,
but
this
was
considered
money
so
well
spent
,
and
so
much
less
than
an
ordinary
war
would
have
cost
,
that
only
the
most
violent
anti
-
Administration
journals
ever
alluded
to
it
.
Reduction
of
military
and
naval
forces
,
and
gradual
disarmament
,
was
now
the
policy
of
the
allied
nations
.
Such
forces
and
such
vessels
as
might
be
demanded
for
the
future
operations
of
the
War
Syndicate
were
retained
.
A
few
field
batteries
of
motor
-
guns
were
all
that
would
be
needed
on
land
,
and
a
comparatively
small
number
of
armoured
ships
would
suffice
to
carry
the
motor
-
guns
that
would
be
required
at
sea
.
Now
there
would
be
no
more
mere
exhibitions
of
the
powers
of
the
instantaneous
motor
-
bomb
.
Hereafter
,
if
battles
must
be
fought
,
they
would
be
battles
of
annihilation
.
This
is
the
history
of
the
Great
Syndicate
War
.
Whether
or
not
the
Anglo
-
American
Syndicate
was
ever
called
upon
to
make
war
,
it
is
not
to
be
stated
here
.
But
certain
it
is
that
after
the
formation
of
this
Syndicate
all
the
nations
of
the
world
began
to
teach
English
in
their
schools
,
and
the
Spirit
of
Civilization
raised
her
head
with
a
confident
smile
.
