One might say that the war will cost
the fighting powers roughly from
S.. OOO, 0oo, 900 to $4,000, 900, 900.
These figures, which do not take into
account the losses of revenue during
hostilities. will be met first by the is
suance of notes against the accumu-
lated gold in the government banks;
second, by the issuance of short term
treasury bonds. to which all govern
ments are having recourse during the
war; and third. by delaying payments
for military necessities. The larger
part of the savings of the world will
be absorbed by the taking up of ma
tional loans, and economic progress will
