ALL.AROUND PREPAREDNESS

One of our railway presidents di-
rects attention to the importance of
having our transportation systems
always ready, under a centralized
program, to mobilize for war pur-
poses. This is perfectly right; the
same thing is to be said Of many of
our great industries.
Organization of our industries,
along with the railroads. is no less
needful, if we would be adequately
prepared. than building a large navy
and recruiting large army.
A certain number of the advocates
Of national defense are merely urg-
ing larger army and bigger navy.
They should state their desires in
that form, and not operate under the
guise Of being advocates Of genuine
preparedness.
Preparedness not only means an
adequate army and naval equipment,
but also means the organization OF
industries SO that supplies can be in
readiness, and the organization of
hospitals and relief-giving agencies
so that human life may be con.
served.
We have so much to learn about
real preparedness, as it has been ex.
emplifed in Germany, that as we
look further and further into the
subject we are more than likely tc
be disappointed at our discovery o.
our true military situation from the
very beginning to the very end.

headed by a crown princess shall
superimpose German clothes upon
them while the berufled creations
of Paris are yet available. They
prefer Paris clothes; and in admit
ting that they insist on the right to
adopt Paris models. they admit the
whole case against Germany and its
attempt to shoot its "kultur" into

FRANCES FINANCIAL POWER

The other day 1t was Great Brit
ain that had foated the greatest Of
war loans. Now it is France, whose
people in a single day. by dint Of
some clever appeals to sentiment
and patriotism, actually subscribed
over five billions of dollars to the
new French loan.
France is not so wealthy coun-
try as Great Britain. 1t is credited
with total national wealth Of fifty
billions, as against eighty billions
to Germany, eighty-fve to the
United Kingdom, and $50 billions to
the United States. But the wealth
of a nation is not the one test of its
capacity to raise money in a great
crisis such as France faces. French
wealth is on the whole in a more
liquid form than that of any other
country. The French are nation
Of investors; which means that their
financial system, their business op-
erations, are adjusted to the idea of
making quick turns in the form Of
their surplus wealth.
The tremendous demands Of the
war are testing out the capacities
of different countries for quick
utilization of their resources. France
has the largest national debt Of any
nation, and in national wealth does
not rank higher than fourth. Yet it
has proved more than once that
when occasion arises it can raise
money quicker and with less distress
than any other country.
Perhaps an explanation of this ad-
vantage of France may be made in
very simple terms. Suppose a great
mercantile building occupies a city
square in Paris, worth S2,00O,000; /;
and another like it, equally valuable,
occupies a square in Berlin. Each is
wealth; real wealth; real power, real
producing capacity. But neither
France nor Germany can melt its
building down into munitions Of war
in moment. II may be willing to
sacrifice the wealth in shrapnel and
torpedoes and uniforms for soldiers
but there must be a transmutation
of the form of the wealth before it
can be used. That transmutation in
wolves at least three steps: to trans
form the wealth first into credit evil
dences. then to turn these credit evil
dences into money, and then to buy
, the war supplies with that money.
France fuses, liquefes, and trans
mutes her wealth more quickly than
any other country, because she is a
country of investors. More people
in France are regular investors than
anywhere else, because the business
of saving is universal there. French
people live within their incomes and
pile up their savings. They know
not only how to be thrifty, but how
to make their thrift earn compound
interest. They are the possessors OF
vast amounts Of the best securities
in the world, the most easily con-
vertible; and their repute for thrift
and financial soundness gives them q
hold on the business worlds conf,
dence. If France comes out of the
war owing fifteen billions of dollars
what of it? France will dig into
her stocking and go to paying it, a!
she paid the billion-dollar indemnit,
that Bismarck forced from her. Th'
limits of French patriotism are fair
ly matched by the possibilities O
French paying power; and in eacl
case France leads the world.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE Federal In
dustrial Relations Commission, which
has been in session two years and has
spent $500, 900 of the peoples moncy to
find out wha, is the matter with Ameri-
can industry. adjourned to-day in II
crash OF discord that could scarcely
be discussed in the ostensible sandwich

Joined.
The commission failed to arrive at n
definite conclusion on any of the prob.
lens IL was called to consider and act
upon. As II result OF it's deliberations. ten
distinct reports will be submitted to
Congress. The various members of the
committee agreed on only one point and
that was to pass the buck" to Congress
and let that body decide which OF the
recommendations In the ten reports
is feasible.
There are said to be no conclusions In
any Of the reports which could guide
Congressional action. because the re-
ports represent only the fractional eN-
pressions or the individual opinions Of
the commission membership.
The final session to-day. like those Of
the two previous days, was repi-te with
verbal fireworks in which Chairman
Walsh. Mrs. j. Borden Hartman. his
chief opponent, and the other members
to part.
There was n heated discussion just he
fore adjournment on the ad~visability OF
giving out the various reports to the
press, ard a vote taken or the PROPOSE
ton was def ated. 4 to D, Mrs. Harri-
man, 1t was said, casting the decidkn Z
vote against this course. The others

the reports TO the press are =. Thur

lie inquiry into labor disputes by per-
sons unanimously requested by all par
ties concerned. \ secondary boycott is

port ended the commission voted TO ad-
