GREAT BRITAIN'S
ECONOMY PLANS
Sir John Paish Urges Cam
paign to Prevent Suspen-
sion of Specie Payments.

London, Eng, Oct IA great ma
tional campaign OF private economy
was urged yesterday by Sir John Paish.
in an address in London, as the only
possible means Of preventing ulti-
mate suspension Of specie payments by
Great Britain
England is carrying the great finan-
eiai burden of the war" ne said. The
war found some weak spots in our al
lies which We must repair France has
lost large part Of her income and
therefore We must find money with
which to buy the things she needs
Russia has virtually no exports. so we
must help her. In addition we must
provide for Belgium. Servia and other
powers
Furnish Funds for Allies.
'The result Of all this is that for the
current year we must find outside our
own expenditures, 423,000.0OO pounds
(S2,115, 0O0,0O0) for our allies. Is Eng
land content to go on living as today
Money IS being spent on all sides, with
the result. perhaps. that later our al
les may come to US for money and we
shall not have the means to support
them
The adverse trade balance. If we
include what we have done for our al
lies, is already between 500. 0O0. 600 and
10O,0O0,OoO pounds to balance which we
have succeeded in borrowing 10000, 600
pounds, our mOiety OF the American
loan This country needs to save year
" 900 600. 600 pounds out of its income
Of 5000, 600, 900 pounds
Should Save Their Money
The great mass of the people should
save 10 percent additional and the more
wealthy 20 or 25 percent What is the
alternative VIII il be possible for US to
borrow $4,000, 900, 600 to adjust our trade
balance2 I think il impossible. If we
20 on spending money as we are now.
we shall see another break in American
exchange accompanied by a break in
Canadian, Argentine Australia and In
dian exchange.
This probably would mean the sus-
pension Of specie payment and we
should have TO tell the world we were
unable to pay our debts"

The Stimulus Of Debt.

The mountain-high debts that have been
piled up In al OF the warning countries of
Europe, and are every day being piled up still
higher. are causing much wonderment as TO how
tie people of these countries can be expected to
utAnd MP under the colossal burden. With such
staggering load TO carry folks are asking how
can these nations recover lost ground, and make
Progress even with an uninterrupted period Of
peacef
All history teaches, however, that the most
debt-burdened people of the world have also
teen the most progressive people of the world.
and that the accumulation OF tremendous public
debts has always been accompanied by the most
rapid and marvellous advance OF civilization. In
other words. II would seem that the burden of
debt operates. in fact as stimulus and not as
death-kneii to industry, not only with individ-
uGla. but also with nations.
When France at the close OF the war OF 1871
was compelled TO pay an indemnity to Germany,
the amount was 30 great. according to the stan
cards Of the time. that It was considered ex-
tremely doubtful whether It could take on such
an obligation. But its payment had no notice
able effect upon the progress of the French re-
public. and French investments abroad, as we'll
as at home continued to increase right along.
The United States came out OF our civil war with
a gigantic war debt. but the country never halted
IN its forward march, industrially, commercially
and financially, although, OF course, II might
possibly have gone along faster had It been free
from the debt drawback.
When peace is restored the necessity will
rest upon the European countries to dig them
selves out from under the debt load they are
shouldering, and II history repeats itself, the
experience Will be q stimulus to extraordinary
exertion 10 meet the new conditions

Negotiations between President Wilson and
Raiser Wilhelm are again under such tension az
may result in breaking diplomatic relations II
enc or the other does not yield.
Mr.. Wilson made a flat statement Of his
position the sinking OF the Lusitania, 20
which the American people gave almost unani-
nous assent. This was followed by an even
more positive declaration Of the views of the
American government. To these communica-
tons the kaiser's spokesmen have returned
evssive and unsatisfactory replies. Not only
have the notes from wilhelmstrasse failed TO
rect squarely the request OF Washington for
disavowal Of and assurance against a repetition
~ the acts complained OF, but the sinking Of the
arabic came either as a gross blunder or de-
lberate defiance OF the United States.
Following the Dumba incident. which Vienna
deigned TO notice only when compelled to save
its ambassador from possible expulsion, Count
Won Bernstorff was clothed with extraordinary
powers to represent the kaiser's government in
final negotiations as to the Arabic. II was
suggested from Washington that this would lead
TO a disavowal in such a form as would be en-
trely satisfactory, but the event shows that the
kaiser's ambassador. to use a slang phrase, has
been merely "stringing" the president along.
Germany. and the rest Of the world, must be
agtonished at the hating OF the president and
his administration in unfolding the rights Of
American citizens at home and abroad. Roll
Ing his fist in his pocket" as the Germans say,
viii not help the president out OF his predics-
n,ent. He must follow up his former pronounce
ment or back down entirely.

rorshanded for Once.

Even the British learn by experience, and
in the present Balkan crisis they appear to be
putting some OF their recently acquired knowl-
edge TO use. Lashed by the Manchester Guar
dian and other Influential journals OF the
United Kingdom. the British government has
taken such steps as will forestall in some degree
q repetition of the embarrassment experienced
with Turkey. While the voice that has spoken
TO Bulgaria IL the voice OF Russia the hand that
holds the sword Is that OF England. That Greece
has been prepared for entrance into such war
like activities as the quadruple entente might
desire h made plain by the landing OF French
troops At Saloniki we'll timed with the declara-
ton OF war. In the meantime. Bulgaria must at
once declare which side II proposes to take or
recede from its warlike attitude entirely. at
pains Of having war declared against II by Rus
sla.
That Bulgaria categorically denies all that
has been alleged OF its activities does not weigh
In the present aspect OF the case. The Allies are
not SO much concerned as to the entrance of
bulgaria into the war as they are to secure an
other position from which to attack the central
powers This way is provided through Macedonia
and Serbia. The movement presages merely
little wider projection OF the all-absorblng STRAIT
esy Of the war. and does not promise much for
its early settlement

Ak.sar.Ben Crowds and Traffic.

Omaha is accustomed to entertaining large
numbers OF visitors each day in the year. with
great throngs during the Ak-sar-Ben period, and
las always met the problems of caring for them
With success. The dual attraction at this time
has resulted in the presence of an unusual num-
Der Of visitors in the city, making the crowds
on the streets especially dense. omahas broad
streets and wide sidewalks reduce the possible
congestion of traffic TO the minimum, but at
time like this, more than usual care must be ex-
Crcised. II Is incumbent on pedestrians and
drivers alike to show some consideration for
each other at all times, but when the traffic is
20 heavy they must give even greater assistance
IA the effort to avoid accidents. Safety first"
Is always n good rule, and II is doubly a duty
during Ak-Sar-Ben week.
