TO the imagination as was the vast adventure
OF the medieval Church. But in country
has the system produced a frst-rate organic.
ing genius. It's Augustines and Hildebrands
have not yet appeared
The corruption of the best is the worst cor
ruption; and it is just because this new order
Of universal credit and exchange is by rights
the finest and freest of all social constitutions
that the world has been filed with misery and
terror by its perversion and misuse.
We must quit treating business if it were
a realm of mental and moral twilight-an I'M
moral region Of blind forces a kingdom OF
low-browed Titans impenetrable TO the spirit.
There is only one pressing political problem.
The problem is to make the business SYSTEM
human. And that is the same thing as to make
it scientific. 1t must be rectifed and made
self-consistent, in accordance with its own in
trinsic laws.
Since the administration of credit has be-
come a sovereign power 1t must OF course be-
come public or social function. Democracy
depends upon that.
Democracy will come to mean-when It
means anything worth mentioning-an order
of things in which people have credit at the
bank somewhat in proportion 10 their personal
ability 10 master the practical arts and to or
saniZe victory in the earth struggle-in word,
to deliver the real goods.
Let it be carefully observed that this, too, Is
the normal intention and ground plan of the
business system as it actually stands. Simple
people suppose that the system does indeed
really work that way. The task is to make
this superstition of simple people come true.
II America could accomplish this she would
be the strongest nation in the world She
would be mistress of all the arts and the
gines, and leader by such long odds that all
the other nations would be constrained TO lay
down their tools and weapons at the feet OF
Democracy They would pray TO be taught
the way.
This inyincible principle Of democratic
finance has, after a names. already been
learned and practised In thousands Of small
communities in continental Europe. The feat
has been accomplished through the inspired
good sense Of certain masterful prophets such
as Raineisen and SchulZe-Delitsche. Thus the
gospel OF a sound economic democracy has been
born, as il were. In a manger and brought up
In Nazareth. II has not yet gone up TO Jerusa-
lem IL mas yet TO take possession of the cap
itals OF the world. For there is no nation. as

things now stand that is not impoverished and
deblitated through the administration of the
sovereign power of credit in the interest of an
idle and incompetent class.
In this fact lies the cause Of the war The
idle and incompetent classes did not intend to
make 1t. They do not understand 1t. They
drifted-to the abyss. In July and August.
1914 there was no help for it, No prayers OF
saints or prudence of politicians could avert
the catastrophe For this newborn, high-ten.
stoned system OF universal work must either
embody the creative faith of the modern world
and be made the agency of a community of in
terest that shall cross all frontiers or else it
must turn to nemesis and doom We have
come TO a day of judgment.
Those who still insist that business is Just
business-that it is not vehicle Of art and
science; that it has nothing to do with man
ners or morals, religion or democracy
need not now be answered with words. Their
answer is in events, and in the news dispatches
from every quarter Of the globe.
The European nations were thrown violently
against another because their whole cor
porate life was bound up in working organiza.
tons that required for their existence more
than nature could furnish. They strove to i'm
poVerish and destroy one another. They were
compelled to do so by the momentum OF their
false internal economy. Through the malad-
ministration OF credit the domestic productive
process was everywhere impeded, while a
ever-increasing burden Of bonded indebtedness
was laid upon It.

maintain the stock-and-bond structure or to
ward of the menace OF class conflict otherwise
than by the enlistment OF foreign offices and
all the forces Of government in a straining
search for foreign markets and foreign fields
of investment. The States OF Europe had be-
come swelling monopolistic trusts struggling
for an impossible footing upon a shrinking
base Of exploitation. The collision and ex-
plosion were certain as chemistry and
physics.
Modern wars are not conflicts of political
policy Talleyrand ard Mettsrnicn understood
those words. They are collisions between pre-
posterous and impractical working systems
directed from inverted and unscientifc credit
centres The damning solecism and absurdity
OF these times is the notion that a class
nation can get solidly rich by making another
poor.

It IS hardly true to say that the war is due
| to a ruthless commercial competition,
sordid strife for markets. The truth lies
much deeper than that and is less discredita'
bic TO human nature. The war becomes in
.elligibe TO any one who is able 10 under
stand the fact that modern nations have,
ieTgone an immense structural and quasi
physiological change of which the doctors OF
social philosophy have given no adequate
WARMING change whereby the most vital in
terests. cultural and economic, have ceased to
centre in the Ostcnsible governments. These
interests have been transferred to new and
invisible" centres of social control.
The change has been gradual and unac-
kncwledged. III is nevertheless decisive.
The chief executive power 10 longer lies in the
administration Of justice. but in the admins
t-ation OF credit. II rightly understood and
accepted this change can be made infinitely
advantageous 10 civilization. Otherwise it must
necessarily entail prolonged period of con-
vulsions OF the kind that have now begun in
Europe and elsewhere.
Modern social phenomena. whether OF peace
or war. VIII remain unintelligible to those who
suppose that predominant power in politics Is
still lodged IN the Princes, Presidents, Parlia-
ments and Legislatures. To suppose sc is to
be thought Of in dynamic terms. The diner

fstry.
Modern politics has ceased 10 be an az.

come an arrangement 70 keep things moving.
The modern world is organized for work-for

ENCOURAGE THE GUARD CAMP.

-Natopal Guard troops will 60 into camp at Red
Hill on November 10. TO take continuous lessons in
preparedness for one week
The territorial government has recognized the i'm
portance Of this guard encampment BY providing
that every member OF the militia in territorial EN-
ploy shall be allowed time off for the camp period
at full pay. This is an example which private en-
plOyers may well follow. There will, Of course be u
few instances in which employees Of private firms
cannot be spared, but in most the firms are
quite able TO give the week off TO their men And
even il some little sacrifice is involved private EN-
plOyers should be glad TO make the sacrifice. Few
OF the guardsmen are in the organization for the
fun OF t. They enlisted because they believe in the
guard as civic institution. They believe in its
value 10 them as individuals and TO the community
in which they live They have been giving up many
hours a week that otherwise could have gone for
pleasure.
Nof is there any particular fun in the camp.
There will be hard work and plenty of it. This
camp is anything but junketing proposition. The
men who go to Red Hill going patriotic
duty and it is the patriotic duty Of employers to
give their employees who guardsmen the week off
without Topping off their salary also.
