FRANCIS W. FIRST SAYS OLD "BLOCK-HE BLOCKADE"
 GREATLY HELPED GERMANY
Advocates Scientific Methods War-Teuton Finances
 Crunabling He Asserts.

London, Feb. 14-F'rancis W. Hirst. editor of the Economist. talked with a press representative today on some of the economic aspects of the war and the tremendous expenditures it is piling up on the fighting nations. MT. Hirst is one of the recognized au- .thorities Ion economic and financial questions. his work on the Political Economy of War having attracted widespread attention as being one of the first efforts to consider warfare as something more than clash. of arms and the gathering of soldiers. Col House was aware, of this, and so when he came here recently to gauge sentiment, he turned to MT Hirst quite as naturally as to the political and military leaders.
 MT. Hiret is strongly in favor of a scientific blockade instead of tsb1ockhead b1ockade,'' as he calls it, and his advocacy of the scientific blockade has much to do with the plans the governm entaI and naval au- thorities are now considering. He was asked the meaning of a scientific blockade.
 It means, he explained, a blockade based upon some intelligent distinc- ton as to what will injure and what will help an enemy. as against a bIan- ket blockade spread over everything without regard to wh ether it injures or helps the enemy, and which. in the case of the old block head blockade actually was of benefit to Germany. There are a large mum Der of articles, like tea, coffee and fruit Mir Hirst pointed out, which are not necessaries of life, and cannot contribute to any large extent in sustaining a popula- tion and the endurance of a, nation. It is such articles that a scientific block ade permits to Joe imported into an enemy country, for the reason that when imported from foreign countries they must be paid for in gold thus creating a steady increase in the for eign indebtedness of the enemy coun- try.
 But the tblock-head blockade does just the reverse in shutting out these articles which are not necessaries of life; it relieves Germany from gold export. and actually stimulates her domestic production, which she can pay for, not in gold, but in fiat paper money. That is actually what has happened in Germany, he says, and it is one of the things which a scien- tif1c blockade will seek to stop.
 MT. Hirst holds that the traditional weapons of England are the Navy and Finance, and not a large land force. What was the view of MT. Lloyd George last spring. and later of MT. McKenna and MT. Montagu, and tn e view of the Board of Trade as express d@3by MT Runciman. Referring to this MT. Hirst said:
 ssIn all wars of the past out of which Great Britain has emerged with a greater or less degree of success, we have always relied mainly on our na- val and financial power. We have never attempted to raise great con-

lures are between 4,0OO,OO0 pounds, and 5,00OsO0O pounds a day, and the internal economy of Germany is suf- fering more and more from issues of indigestible paper currency; The expenditures and the depreciation of German paper would be of much heavier but for the fact that the whole country is on war diet, and great part of the cost of the war is being paid by privation. To judge from the German newspapers own ac- count of conditions, discomfort is steadily growing and in my opinion the mai thing that maintains the mil itary party in power is the fear of invasion and of disn1em F the war goes on much longer do not see how the German Empire will be able to pay interest on it's war debt For the interest on debt, and the war pensions after the war, are likely to be as great or greater than the whole imperial revenue before the war.
 MT. Hirst was asked what was to come to these stupendous daily ex- pendftures six millions sterling a day in England and five millions a day in Germany; could they go on?
 He said, however, there were some things he could not discuss and this was one of them. But he felt that there are financial and economic fac tors in the war that are as great or greater than m1DLarY Ca1pd1S1S, S1- petition and -armies-factors which are steadily increasing in importahce and which cannot be left out of ae- count by those enthusiasts who would rush blind1y ahead and who talk lightly of crushing nations and alter ing all the old boundaries of Europe. Some of these factors and their in evitable tendencies he had summed up in his Political Economy of War, as follows:
 What will be the condition of Eur ope when peace comes through ex- haustion, after the continental states have used up all their credit and bor- rowed all that can be borrowed, may be left to the imagination of those who can see further than the writer through the gathering gloom. How commerce will be financed; how man ufactures will be revived, how bank ing will be carried on, how public Bankruptcies on an unheard of scale are to be avoided-these are ques- tions which defy experience and baf- fe even the wisest' heads" And he adds:
 eff force leads nowhere and offers no remedy then reason must be sum moned to save Western Europe from social and economical ruin. Per chance the New World may recall san ity to the Old"

tinental army and have never adopted any form of compulsion for military service abroad. In the NapoIeonic wars it is quite true that the Duke of Wellington was in command of 1he British army in Spain and at Water loo. But I don't think he had on the average more than 30.oO0 to 50,- 900 men in the peninsula campaign. and at Waterloo only 25,0OO British troops were engaged. In this war Parliament has already sanctioned an army of four millions, although the Navy is on a much larger scale than in the past and is playing at least as much part as it ever played in wars of the past.
 Similarly in regard to finance. Dur ing the Napoleonic wars we gave d mum Der of small loans and subsidies to foreign powers. Thus we gave loans or subsidies to Prussia and many oth- CT small German states, to Russia, Austria Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Sicily and Denmark. Most of these loans were sent ins cash, but consid- erab1e quantities of arms, provisions, clothing and supplies were despatched at various times to our allies. The total amount of the subsidies given between 1798 and 1814-and there is not a single year in which we did not su bsidize one or more of our for eign aIlies-is, however, computed by Porter at only 46,000, 900 pounds sterling, although the total cost of the war to Great Britain speak from mem ory-was something like 800, 1000 pounds sterling. I think I am with in the facts in stating that, up to the presein, we have contracted or prom ised to our allies at least ten times as much in the course of a, war of Is months as we contributed in the 21 years of the French wars. And it will be observed that the sum is much greater proportionately as well as rel atively.
 These facts will perhaps, explain the reasonableness of the criticism which has been directed both to the expeditionary policy and to the size of the army. may add that a very able business man in the House of Commons, MT. Holt, stated the oth- CT day that we would be more likely to bring the war to a successful term ination with an army of three million than with an army of four million men. This is clean1y the case if those military experts are right. who hold with de B1och's theory that it is a war of exhaustion and attrition, and that decisive military victories of the Napoleonic type are improbable. An other member of Parliament MT. God frey Collins who has studied military finance very closely, predicted last week that as a result of the expedi- the army, our daily expenditures would rise in the course of a couple of months to 6,o0O.0OQ pounds sterl- ing, which would be at the rate of 2,19O,O 100000 pounds sterling $1O,- s50.O0O,OO0) a year.
