EUROPE's WAR BONDS FASTENING CHAINS ON -
WORKERS FOR FUTURE

w O4AAAA14AAS =
BY ROGER w. BABSON
For several months the papers have
been filed with accounts of war
loans, foreign exchange, treasury
notes, etc. To the banker or million
aire the meaning of all these is clear,
but do you know what they all mean?
And yet you should, because you
and the rest of the folks who work
for the world must ultimately pay the
bills.
p. All real estate taxes, all personal
property taxes and good part of
the income taxes collected in every
country are passed on, from one class
to another, until they are ultimately
paid by the people who labor.
When the taxes on the house in
which you live are increased your
landlord adds it to your rent; when
the taxes on mortgages are increased,
the man of whom you are borrowing
likewise increases your rate OF inter
est; while the income taxes, which
are paid by corporations and others
engaged in active business, are SIM
Div added to the price of the grocer
les, clothing and other thing which
you buy.
You ought to get busy and know
what these financial terms mean and
to have more to say about what is go
ing on. Clip this article and send 1t
to YOUR friends on the other side in
order that they also may see what is
coming to them.
In the wars of the past men have
been the principal item; but in the
present war machinery is the most
prominent item. The business Of
fighting during the past so years has
gone through the same change as has
the business of manufacturing steel
rails, cotton cloth and shoes. Killing
men by hand is now as much out OF

the manufacture of steel rails, cotton
cloth, shoes or any other big product.
Moreover, governments must borrow
money the same as do steel compa-
MES, cotton mills and shoe factories.
This the governments have done by
issuing bonds.
Up to the present time the allies
have borrowed for the war over S1O,-
OOO,O0O,0OO, Germany over S5,OOO,-
100000, making a total of S15,OOO,-
100000. If you want to know what
this means, look up the assessment
of your city or it's total indebtedness
and see how it compares. The aver
age city in this country has an as
sessed valuation of about $1,000 per
capita. That is, a city of 10000 has
an assessed valuation of about S2O.-
100000; or city of 100000 people
has an assessed valuation of about
$1OO,0OO,OOO.
The countries at war have thus
borrowed for war purposes alone a
sum equal to the sum of the assessed
valuations of so Of our large cities.
having a combined population of
nearly 100000 people, or one-sev-
enth of the cOUnty's entire popula-
ton! Moreover, the war has lasted
just one year What do you know
about that?
These bonds are just like the bonds
any corporation would issue. They
are just like note that you would
give a neighbOr for a niece of land
or in payment of a bill They should
be paid, principal and interest. The
| interest alone on these bonds will
amount to over $2OO,OOO,OOO a year.
Of course, that proportion of the
money received from these bonds
which is spent in the home country
is not all wasted, but there is no get
ting back the money which is spent
in the United States or other lands.
