Predicts Unprecedented
National Prosperity.

Chas. G. Dawes, former comptrol-
Ter Of the currency. recently made
notable address before the ways and
means committee Of the Chicago Asso-
ISOLATION of Commerce. and from 1t
wa reproduce the following extract:
We have one of the greatest crops
we have ever had. and never has the
world been more in need OF 1t. we
need not fear that 1t will not reach
it's market quickly. There Is no sup
ply Of anything in the world which so
quickly reaches its point OF greatest
demand as a food supply. In the con-
sumption of q sale of food the longer
Il ts delayed the more anxious the BUY
er becomes to close it. To the con-
summation of a food exchange you
have not only the incentive of profit
but you have the incentive OF hunger.
and they make the great ~H'"s. Never
fear but that the seas will be open
for the transport of food supplies.
Now, when a large portion of the
population of the world, our competi-
tors, turn their energies into fighting
instead Of forging and manufacturing,
for the first time the American bust
ness man will go into South American
trade with an advantage. And the very
breakdown in international banking
and international banking credits viii
be to him almost the same advantage
practically that he has in the break
down in foreign manufactures. And
I make this prediction. that in this
great emergency American interna-
tional banking will find its first prac-
teal foundation.
AS this market becomes bare of
those articles which are specialized,
articles of manufacturing abroad, we
will have the same experience which
we have had so many times in the past
in this great, as yet. undeveloped coun-
try; new local Misunderstanding con-
Germs will commence to supply the To-
cal demands and when the war is over
the local demand formerly satisfied
from abroad will be continued and
that industry continued. 1t will even
afford new foreign fields for the COM
petition of the United States.
There is no reason to doubt, in my
judgment, that the United States is
at the beginning of a great era of
prosperity, provided-and in closing
want to refer to that which is per-
haps the most important thing for us
all to consider-provided that quiet
anxious, bereaved and great man.
President Wilson, can hold this nation
upon the even keel of right in this
present emergency, as he did in that
great emergency which he confronted
In Mexico. (Great applause0
