Bitter as it may be, it is the truth
that American financial energy today
is concentrated not upon such new
fields of enterprise as the seas offer,
but upon the sure things which invite
corners and combinations at home.
Congress has placed it in the power
OF the resident to remove the principal
barriers to the reconstruction OF our
merchant marine; yet there is delay,
negotiation and haggling. In spite Of
the most confident assurances of the
British Admiralty the oceans are open

are to the United States. Ships right.

affairs; but today today Egypt is a
barron waste, overrun by a race OF
men half savage and struggling un.
der the whitening blight of a brutal
ignorance.
Greece rejoiced in her splendid in
situations of learning. Ancient Rome
aspired to the dictatorship of the
world, both political and religious;
and today Greece is seen as a rag
ged stoneheap on a hill top, while
Rome is tomb.
Today we are to witness a testing
of the ancient law of "the survival of
the fittest," worked out upon the
popular error that might makes
right" So let us pray that this fair
land whose cities stretch across an
expanse of four thousand miles, over
which the emblem of freedom floats,
may be spared the fearful calamity
of becoming involved in a conflict
which is destined to shake this old
earth from centre to circumference,
and try each mans work by fire.
Beneath the veneer of so-called
civilization will be found the bar
barian and the savage, with all the
brutality that belonged to our an
cesters hundreds of years ago when
they roamed skin-clad, through the
forests of Germany. Only he has
exchanged the stone Ratchet and the
knouted club fer the Gatlin gun and
the dum-bum bullet; and once the lust
for blood is up none other but God
may know the finale.

tai free field. 1t has been taught
for more than generation to look
for something more. 1t is, holding
back for subsidies. 1t expects boun-
ties. 1t solicits public gifts. 1t wants
further exemptions and privileges.
The very act of Congress which en-
ables it to profit by the disarrange-
ment of the worlds commerce is re-
garded not so much as an invitation to
strike out boldly for the mastery of
the seas as a lever by which another
breach may be made in the Treasury.
II financial America fails to meet
the issue presented by Continental
war in Europe, it is certain to be
judged with a severity never before
witnessed. If it has been pampered
and coddled into imbecility, it is time
to recognize the fact. If it gains it's
wealth and power wholly from favor
ing laws, the truth must be made
known. If the great reputation long
held up to us as examples of extra
ordinary commercial gifts have been,
due only to the misuse of government
al powers, let us pull down our idols
and begin over again.
The masters of modern business in
the United States are undoubtedly ex-
perts in one line. They know how to
corner home markets; how to Cypress
their own countrymen; how to apply
a siphon to the Treasury; how to
exert the powers of taxation for self
ish ends, and how to gain certain
glory by the process. They have yet
to demonstrate their ability unassisted
to meet even crippled adverssries or
the seas.

AMERICAS WORLD CONQUEST,

philadelphia Public eLdger.)
That the United States can now
make a world conquest of trade is
only half the truth. After the war is
over this country will be the only
great power which will be financially
able for longtime to promote foreign
enterprise.
Europe is expanding in the conflict
not only all the money it has, but all
II. can borrow. 1t Is putting a vast
mortgage upon the future. This mort
gage will be so heavy that for years
to come Europe's entire financial re-
sources will be needed to repair these
ravages which war is now producing.
Thus the United States will be facing
only broken and semi-bankrupt COM
petitors. With its own financial re-
sources unscathed by war, America
will be able to furnish the capital
required to purchase new ships, estab.
fish new trade centres In foreign lands
and to promote home Industry. '-'--
A long and destructive war will
make capital excessively scarce in Eu-
rope. There will be no,reserye funds,
as in the past. with which to enliven
oversee enterprise. The United States
will continue to be not only the pre-
mier producing nation. but the greatest
reservoir Of unmortgaged capital with
which to carry on new business.
These considerations make It, imis
perative that the people Of this Repub-
lie go into this new trade era with the
spirit of making it permanent. What
ever be the drawbacks which the war
temporarily entails, they can be more
than eclipsed by advantages which
ultimately must accrue to the United
States. eetlalg s!5a iasa
