Chapter VIII: Strength of a Homecroft Reserve 213

A Homecroft Reserve in Scotland of one million Soldiers
would have prevented this last great war--Scotch
Homecrofters make such Soldiers as the Gordon
Highlanders and the Black Watch--Story of the Gordon
Highlanders--The Scots were the original
Homecrofters--The description in "Raiderland" of the
Homecrofts in Galloway--Grasping greed of intrenched
interests drove the Homecrofters from Scotland--Same
interests now blocking development in United
States--Homecroft System of Education and Life would
breed a race of stalwart soldiers in United
States--Could leave home for actual service without
disturbing industrial conditions--Homecrofters would be
concentrated for training and organization--Would
eliminate all danger of militarism or military
despotism--Comparison in value of 1,000,000 trained
Homecrofters with 1,000,000 immigrants--Homecroft
Reserve System will end child labor and woman labor in
factories and will also end unemployment.
