Example:
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is
spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its
scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern
heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30
cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of
60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It
is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a
single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay
for a single destroyer with new homes that could have
housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life
at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war,
it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
