ENORMOUS WAR BUDGETS.
The Appalling Sums That Are Re-
quired to Preserve the Peace
of Europe.

The swar budgets" of the principal
countries of the world are published
in the last monthly summary of the
bureau of statistics. Most Of them are
for the year 1895 or the preceding one.
1t is not stated whether they include
the expenditures for the respective
navies. In any case they make a strik-
ing showing as to the cost of main
taining peace" among the European
governments.
The sums appropriated by the five
great powers, Great Britain, Germany,
Austria, Russia and France, with the
three lesser powers, Italy, Spain and
Turkey, amount to the enormous total
of $691, ,415,s59. If to this we add the
war budget of British India, s116,637,-
2ss, we have total of Ss0s,053, ,147 per
annum. The actual expenditure in In
dia, which is given for the year, 1897,
was, of course, swollen by the war with
the Afridi tribes on the northwestern
frontier, that of Spain by the insurrec-
tions in her colonies, and that of Tur-
key by the war with Greece, but
neither the range nor character of
these pending wars can have made a
serious addition to the average annual
expenditure.
If we calculate the per capita charge
for the war budgets we find that it is
largest in England, 1921; next largest
In Germany, $2.70, while the other ma
tions follow in their order: France,
s2.21; Spain, $2.12; Austria, $2.0S; Italy,
STAG; Russia, SLIT, and Turkey, 83
cents. These figures, however, give a
misleading impression of the relative
burden of war expenditure. The aver
sge inhabitant of England, for IN
stance, on account of the amount and
distribution of wealth and the ordi-
nary means of earning revenue, does
not begin to feel his annual contribu-
ton of 1921 as does the Spaniard his
payment of $2.12, the Russian of SLIT,
OF the Turk of only SO cents. 1t is
probable, also, that the burden to the
German of his s.. 40 is not heavier than
thatsof S2.91 to the Frenchman, while
we know that the modest s1.46 of the
Italian was one Of the things that pro-
voked the terrible riots last spring.
The per capita charge in British India,
owing to the vast population, is only
40 cents, but the government in India
is never free from the dread that a
very slight addition to taxation may
at any moment drive the natives 10
open resistance.
The war budget OF TIE United States
for. 1896 is also given. 1t is twice ss
much as that Of any Of the non-Euro-
pean states, except British India. 1t
includes the army only, and is set
downgat ss1 ,osa, ,9e7, tsnd amounts to
only 71.cents per capita. ~. !. llmes.
