Abstract: The study deals with one aspect of the 'Military-Industrial Complex': the correlation between military spending and voting on liberalism-conservatism and foreign policy issues in the Senate of the 88th U.S. Congress. Measures of manufacturing, education, income, metropolitanism, and liberalism were partialled out of the appropriate correlations. Low, but statistically significant correlations were found. The conclusion was that even low correlations signal further attention to a subject as important as militarism.
