Of 100000 men during the conflict. This
gives a total earning loss of $S0O00,- /

makes q loss to mothers, wives, sisters,

cost of raw material Cor lack of ma

of living. and the dozen other results
of a state of war is beyond any one.
We mi ght assume a loss of one billion
or ten. Let us split the difference
and then split the result, and call it
- 800. 900. 600. We now have a cost
to the people of $4,000, 100000 on ac-
count of the government cost, and
$4,000, 100000 on account of business
losses; total of $27 ,000.000,000.
Is this loss worth avoiding?
If these estimates are thought to be
too conservative, suffice it to say that
So ,OOO000, 600 are quite enough for the
purposes of this discussion. If they
are thought excessive, remember that
no losses have been considered in the
matter of the sinking or the capturing
of our warships or of commercial ships,
and nothing has been estimated in the
way Of loss or destruction due to an
attack on the Pacific Coast. For every
million one sees fit to deduct, add one
hundred million for destruction at Pacl-
fic ports; for. in the four months re
qired to concentrate our Navy IN the
Pacific, the japanese might be able
to empty their magazines and return

several times.

deduced above; it amounts to about

Mr.. James Hill convinced me that the
total tonnage to and from the Orient is
almost ms gnitcant as compared with
the gross railroad tonnage. As he ex-
pressed it, "a hole in the round with
coal at the bottom furnishes more traf-
tic than all our ships on the Pacific. .
The cessation for two years of Pacific
trade would therefore not seriously hurt
railroad earnings. He admitted, how
ever, that the assumed war would upset
business generally, that all roads would
suffer in consequence to an extent hard
TO estimate, and that should the Japan
csc effect a landing on the Pacific Coast
the losses would shift from millions to
billions. and there would be the mis-
chief to pay generally.
United States imports from the
Orient (yia Pacific ports) amount to

ports aggregate $140,000,000. This lat.
