Wars Mortgage on Civilization.
IFrom the New YORK World !

The debts of the civilized nations now
add up total of over 1872 OO0, O00, GOO
most of it incurred in wars. To realize
what thirty-two billions means few com.
paratiye statements are necessary.
The highest total value of the entire
cotton crop of the United States in any
recent year was less than 100000, 900. If,
therefore, the whole American cotton crop
were sold for one hundred years in sue
cession, and the proceeds applied to the
payment of the worlds Indebtedness
mainly incurred for wars and war prepare
tions-there would still remain an unpaid
balance of nearly two billions.
Professor H. G. Adams, of Cornell, some
time since calculated that the interest
payments alone on these aggregated debts
of the nations equal the value of the labor
of 100000 men working constantly at
$1.50 per day per man.
Civilization is under blanket mortgage
to war.

Reports from famine stricken India,
