COST OF WAR 70 AUSTRALIA

MELBOURNE. = Speaking at the
war anniversary meeting in the Town
Hall recently, the Acting Prime Min.
lister, Senator Pearce, said that the
military expenditure for the year
ended June 30, 1915, was 910,606,0oo,
and the last year, sS2,49S,000-a total
of G43, 100000. Z ~. ~.
The combined total of the navy and
military for those two years was G5I,-

that burden had been taken on willing

five millions in a young country like
Australia, it was worthy effort, OF
which the people of the Common
wealth might well be proud.

The Return from Oyster Bay.

San Francisco Bulletin: Colonel
Roosevelt made a speech at Lewiston,
Maine. The venerable reader viii re-
call Colonel Roosevelt. He was at cne
time leader OF an organization known
as the Progressive party. This was in
the early days Of American history.
Some historians place it as far back
as 1912, several centuries after the
Trojan war, and probably just before
the Pan-European war. Colonel Roose
welt will also be remembered for his
gallant fight in 1916 to make that un-
fi;nching radical, Henry Cabot Lodge,
the Republican nominee for president.
Colonel Roosevelt is said, by students
Of that period Of American history, to
lave been a strong advocate Of military
and naval preparedness. After the po-
litical conventions Of June, 1916, he
sank into the temporary obscurity
from which he has just risen.
Old settlers, whose recollections &c
as far back as June, 1916, will note
that the arguments with which ne has
emerged are strikingly similar to those
which he carried into his retirement,
although they are, Ike Rip Van

which events move in modern America

does not remain actively in the race

rcgation took place in that remote
period Of our history before the rail
road strike became imminent and wher
preparedness was still believed to b,

heart. Before the campaign is owe

Pork Paragraphs.

The richest state agriculturally
speaking, is the one that ships the mos.
hogs. Iowa is that state and has sen,
about as many retired farmers into
California as there are actual farmers
il, this state.
No animal turns as many different
kinds Of feed into money IN as snort
a time as does the hog. He IS the
mortgage litter and his right to that
title cannot be disputed. A large share
oi the land in the middle states was
>paid for with 25-ccnt corn and Az
cent hogs.
Any proposal to increase the taxes
Of California $3O,O0O,O0O would raise
such a howl that it could be heard to
the Mississippi river And yet the ac-
t,aI outlay of shat much money could
lie saved to the state each year by per-
sistently boosting the pig industry

Trade After the. War.
SIN Francisco Bulletin: It makes nC
PRACTICAL difference whether the pres

Nnt state Of prosperity in this country
was caused by the war, as the Republi
can politicians say, or was made n
lev table by the election of Woodrow
Wilson, as some Democratic politicians
VIC uld say if they were not afraid CT
being laughed at. The fact is that
prosperity did arrive, and that it ar
rived first and hardest in the manu-
featuring sections Of the east, which
are ordinarily considered as containing
the pulse of national business condi-
tions. The question which now con-
Germs almost everybody who either
works for living or owns property for
g living is whether this prosperity is
sound, and whether it will continue.
Morally, it is not all sound, inasmuch
az it results partly from our taking
large quantities of valuable raw ms
ttrinls, manufacturing them into war
supplies, and sending them to be used
Iir butchering human beings. 1t is
sound, however, in SO far as it is due
TO our sending TO Europe goods which
are useful in peace as well as war. This
list would include clothing, food, some
kinds Of machinery, and many kinds Of
raw or semi-raw material. 1t is no
crime to make clothing or blankets,
even though they will be worn by SOL

The outlook, according to the COM
nercial statisticians, is good. When
the demand for shot and shell begins to
fell off the demand for the materials
OF reconstruction, and especially for
machinery, will begin. A writer in
The Americas" estimates the total
demands upon the productive capacity
Of Europe" at the close Of the war as
likely to be more than five billion dol
lars. Thus, about $500, 100000 worth
of machinery will have to be replaced
II Belgium, $600,000,000 in northern
France, and probably 100000 900
worth in Russia. 1t will take 1925 000,-
600 to put the railroads of Belgium and
northern France into good condition
again. In France and Belgium togeth-
or more than billion dollars worth
OF farm animals will probably have
Eeen used up without replacement. Be-
sides these great losses there hav
been countless small ones to replace
which enormous quantities of lumber
cement, steel, hardware, and SO fort
will be needed Even in the neutral
countries Of Europe manufacturin-
plants have been sacrificed to the need
of the war trade and wil.9eed extern
e;ye replacement. In France, Germany,
Russia and the Balkans there is likely
10 be more extensive use of labor-sav-
mig machinery than before the war, and
this opens up another great field.
If these conditions do not create a
market sufficiently great to take the
place of the present war market it WI
be strange, indeed. There will be pros
ptrity enough for some years to come,
no matter who is elected president
