Roger Babson tells How Warning
Nations Can Stave on Star
walton Indefinitely
RUSSIA ONLY SELF
SUPPORTING COUNTRY
Germany and France, However,
VIII Not Want II Territory
Is Unravaged

BY ROGER w. eAssoN,
Banker and statlstieIan, and Stu
dent OF international Economies).
Since the first Of August the ma
lions Of Europe have dropped back
to the middle ages" declared q Bos-
ton banker today, In commenting On
the war.
"You are mistaken" said q listener.
I'VE have never passed out OF the
medieval stage. In centuries to como,
when our history has been written,
our century will still be included as
q part of the middle ages"
This remark especially appealed TO
me In view of my studies OF the self
supporting features Of the various
nations, for history clearly shows
that an advance In civilization and
the interdependence Of nations 90
hand In hand.
During the middle ages, to which
the Boston banker referred, every ma
ton was self-supporting. and foreign
trade was INDUCED In only for the
luxuries of life. Nations were not
dependent on other nations for neces-
stiles, but each was sufhcient unto
itself.
AS civilization advanced, nations
gradually developed certain national
Industries and exported their excess
products, receiving In return different
products from other countries upon
which they finally came to be DEEPEN
dent.
The Detroit times., 1914-11-03

To sum up, will say that Russia
10 selfsupporting under all circum-
stances. The fate OF Germany. Aus
tria, and France. depends upon where
the lighting Il located. These nations
can get along all right II they can
avoid having their countries ravaged
By the enemy. England depends On
her navy. With her lines Of steam
ships cut on. she would starve In 60
days: but II does not now look as
II this would happen. therefore
think II may be reasonable TO AS
sumo that England, though not self
supporting from an agricultural point
Of view, will be self-supporting
through her ability to trade manu-
Iactures for foodstuffs.

BY themselves they do not seem to

England.

England stands for commerce, and
her great industry IL shipping.
England is the great middleman OF
Europe. performing the same service
on a big scale that the commission
merchant In any town renders to the
farmers and retailers Of the vicinity.
Once, England was self-supporting,
but with the development of the
steam engine and loom. her people
forgot the soil. and became enchant-
ed with the wheels Of industry. after
which they turned to shipping and to
trade.
The Detroit times., 1914-11-03

France IL fairly self-supporting,
having o good sensible mixture Of tn

oped., mining IL encouraged. and man

oped nation In Europe, and n the
most to be envied economically OF

RuosIa.
Russia stil stands for agriculture
In the old way, having not YET
emerged from the medieval stage.
She has unlimited land; her people
have no ambition beyond tilling the
soil. and she not only can feed her
self, but exports large quantities Of
food stuffs to other countries.
Belgium.
Belgium is Q strictly manufacturing
nation. Here are found the great
steel works. machinery plants, and
the most busy factories and mills Of
Europe. The people Of Belgium have
left the plow in the country for the
more stirring life Of the city. Bel
gium In many ways resembles New
England, a. her children have left
the country homes for the city. Hence,
Belgium II far from self-supporting,
and II absolutely dependent on other
nations for her foodstuffs.
Austria.
Austria II more In the class with
Russia, than the others. She n still
In the middle ages 80 far - . large
proportion OF her population II con-
cerned. Her people are ignorant and
ineficient, but they are satisfied and
industrious, tilling the soil along the
old lines. Although such condition
greatly handicaps q nation In time Of
peace, yet Il helps make that nation
Independent In time Of war.
Germany.
This leaves us only Germany to
consider. Most Of our economists
place Germany In the doubtful class.
II IL true she imports many food
stuffs, and although she raises about
$50 900, 900 bushels Of wheat q year.
she imports about 66,000,000 bushels.
Nevertheless, she resembles France
in being developed both agriculturslly
and industrially. Her farms are
prosperous, her mills are active, and
she also has had Q good over-the-sea
trade.
Certainly, Germany II not In the
dependent class like England and Bel.
gium. although she 10 not ~ indie
pendent economically a. Russia and
more backward countries like Austria.
Personally, I believe that 90 long
AZ Germany can keep the lighting ont
Of her own territory she can remain
self-supporting, but must exercise
under such conditions.

FORM AN ASSOCIATION
Resort Owners of Northern
Wisconsin Lake Region at
Get Together" Meeting
Last Night Join Hands.

With a third of the owners Of
resorts in this northern part oil
Wisconsin known as the greatest
lake region anywhere, an asso-
citation of this body of business
men was finally perfected before
the meeting closed at midnight
last night in the Woodmen hall.
This being the first attempt
ever made in northern Wiscon-
sin to get together the eighty
odd owners of resorts, who are
scattered over an area of about
5000 square miles, the attend
ance was much better than the
most optimistically inclined ex-
pected.
Resort men and sportsmen at
tended from as far away as
Flteld, Price county. There were
twenty-slx resort owners pres
ent besides an equal number OF
interested sportsmen.
Officers were elected as follows:
President-Jesse Coon of Trout
lake.
Vice Pres. Horace P. Tilden OF
Eagle River.
Treasurer--Fayette L. Buck OF
Winchester.
Secretary-Fred Morey, Eagle
River.
The greater part of the evening
was spent in organizing and dis
cussing various methods of pro-
cedure for the berterment of this
territory.
The association is a go and it
behooves every resort owner to
get into line. Meetings will be
held all over the territory by re-
sort owners this week.
AS an auxiliary to the resort
owners, a sportsmen's associa-
ton will now be put under way
for every sportsman in this
northern territory. BE boost

Villas county was submitted

Eagle River meeting were better
attended thar. those at Crandon

Senator Tompkins and Assem-
blyman Kneen questioned the
farmer and cruiser as to the Law
OF the land in Villas county, the
character of the soil and it's
adaptability for agriculture or
forestry. While there were a few
who favored reforestration in
violent form, still, there can
be no doubt after listening to the

greater portion of Villas county
is good agriculture land.
Next summer, during the grow
ing season, the committee will
