Financial Aftermath Of the War.

In an article in Scribner's Mag
azine, and summarized in an edi-
torial in the New York Tribune,
Mr.. Alexander D. Noyes, conced-
edly the ablest of American COM
mentators on financial questions,
both domestic and foreign, has
set forth some interesting con-
clusions as to the financial condi-
ton of Europe after the war. Mr..
Noyes does not dogmatize or in
dulge in the cryptic wisdom
which most financial experts af-
feet. His views are based on
common sense and are arrived at
by ordinary logic. One way to
Judge of the strain put upon the
chief belligerents is to compare
the capital being put into war
loans with the capital ordinarily
available for new investments.
The war loans placed in Great
Britain, amounting to 81, $50, 000,-
900, have been at least twice as
large as the largest sum ever pre-
viously invested in the English |
market in corresponding period, !
in all securities combined. Ger
war loans of Sc, 800, 000,-
600 are five or six times as large |
as her largest total investment in
all loans for a corresponding ear
lier period. The yearly cost of
the war to all the nations engaged |
in it is now between $25. 900, 000,-
600 and $50, 100000, 900. Much
of this capital is worse than vast
ed, since it is not even employed
to minister to pleasure or to lux
ury. However the war turns out,
therefore, Europe will be very
poor when it is over. Crushing
taxes will have to be collected
and industry will be disorganized
by the necessity of turning back
the laboring population from the
munitions and war supplies fac
-ories into the pursuits of peace.
capital for reorganization will be
acking. Laborers in the war in
1ustries are earning high wages,
Ind the shock of any return to
he old lower scale of wages
would be cruelty severe. Mr..
Noyes does not think that the
'hief European nations will re-
,udiate their debts, or attempt,
except perhaps here and there
Ind so far as their own citizens
'r subjects are concerned, to pay
'ff their obligations in deprecated
But domestic distress
will sorely tempt unscrupulous
politicians, just asin this country
We suffered for many years after
he Civil War from a vicious agi-
alton for the payment of the ma
ional debt in greenbacks instead

three.fourths OF the entire population
are engaged directly or indirectly in
