That Is the story Of the invasion OF
America. There was nothing else that
we could do!
How the land labored heart break
ingly to put an army into the field;
how the invader for eight long months
held the conquered land and under his
efficient mastery made its soil produce
prodigally, its manufs ctories pour
forth their wealth In redoubled meas
ure; how he laid tax after tax on the
men whose necks were under his foot:
how, toward the end, he gathered his
transports IN all the harbors, and how,
when the American army at last. 400,-
600 strong. moved toward the coast, he
embarked ali his men within seventy
two hours and sailed away unscathed
these things were but inevitable con-
sequences.
The United States of America never
knew how much wealth the conquesta-
dore had squeezed from the conquered
territory in acquisitions. IN fines, in IL
cense fees, In taxes or imports and ex-
ports and in war levies. Statisticians
figured for years afterward to discover
from the wildly tangled accounts how
much he had extorted They figured
and qxarreled for generation over
the vast amounts that the United
States had lost BY losing the markets
Of the world for when her ports were
opened she found that the markets
were gone.

invading army had taken sum not
short of four billions of dollars. But
whatever the sum, it was as nothing
to the wound that had struck America
near the heart-a brave nation. a
greatly capable nation. made to grovel
for her life because, in world OF
men, she had failed to prepare for
what men might do.
