II WE SHOULD:G0 TO WAR
Effect i, Would Have Upon The
= Country in General

(Ncw York Journal of Commerce.
In event Of war between the United
States and Germany many things
could happen. Outside of military and
naval activities The effects upon the
United States would be chiefly these:
A second general rcadjustmcnt Of
business affairs to new situation,
less violent than in 1914.
Some temporary arrangement in The
security markets.
Extensive bond issues which would
tend to lessen foreign borrowings on
this side.
A larger home demand for wal
munitions which would probably inter-
ferc with foreign orders.
Stricter efforts to check the large
American exports TO Germany, now
fltcring through Holland. Denmark
and Sweden.
Imports would be slightly affected
unless Germany secured control OF
the sea.
The German ships now intemcd ir
this country might oe commandccret
us transports or 70 relieve the freight
situation.
Some lines Of industry would bt
stimulated by our entering war, an'
few would be injured more than the!
are by present uncertainties.
Taking the situation at large. wa.
with Germany could rot be a yer!
serious matter to the United States
and if it hastened peace would be dis
tinctly beneficial.
! To to Allies it would mean les!
financial and industrial aid from thi
country. but considerable naval ant
military cooperation.
