One Wan to Peace.

Early Ia the present war the fact
was mentioned In these columns that
the struggle could be stopped by the
simple method OF cutting off the
money that sustained 1t. The finan-
ciai eenters OF the world had power.
regardless of peace congresses and
formal action of government, to drive
the armies from the field, AID back
to ths.r homes Millions of dollars
were needed TO keep the troops sup
piled with food and munitions. They
could not fight with empty stomaehs
or empty cartridge boxes. Hunger
would have defeated the purpose of
bloodshed
Russia called upon the money marts
for aid. So did Japan. There was
full knowledge of the object for which
the cash was needed. 1t was for the
promotion OF slaughter. Was there
any hesisancy on this account? No
body observed any. If for later calls
there was a less ready response 1t
was due to the fact that there had
arisen some fears as to the security.
The captains OF the monetary world
would lend money while they could
get security. and they would lend to
one side as quickly as to the other.
Some doubtless went to the extent of
lending to both Thus. while the

London, and New York were the ac-
cessorfes to the awful crime of war.
They had permitted their dollars to
be enlisted for the carnage.
From time to time the question has
been asked as TO why the powers of
Europe did not force the war TO cease.
.sne exact method that could have
reen used has not yet been pointed
out. The plain truth Is that the pow
ers not engaged In military record
making are little better than the ones
that are thus employed. and would
be willing each TO engage in war With
any nation they thought they could

Japan would have paused at their bid
ding, but had the flow OF necessary
gold been damned, the dogs OF war
must have starved. and the world
spared the spectacle of horror and
death.
