to she enormous war order business
this country has been doing in the
sale Of horses. One Of the first dis
closures was that our army is short oi
horses end that there will be difficulty
in securing the animals desired, largely
due to the heavy exports made to meet
the demand from Europe. In an ei'
tort TO minimize the importance Of wal
orders in the restoration Of prosperity,
the administration has not been class
ing horses as war commodities. Now
that our own Government needs horses
for war preparations and fnds short
age, it must admit the fleet OF foreign
purchases in bringing foreign money
to revive American industry.
Not only is the administration forced
to admit that horses and mules are
munitions Of war;" but it must make
the same acknowledgment as to blank
cts, cots. harness, saddles, hospital
supplies, auto trucks, gasoline, etc,
for our own government is now buying
these war supplies just as Icreigu
countries have been buying them from
US. In some instances the national
guard was so short OF blankets that
citizens organized reli movements
and collected blankets Ior the guards
men who had been m0bilized for en-
listment in tn. demonstration against
Mexico. This lorced admission as tc
the war.order char cter Of the trade we
have been erjoying, is rather discon'
cer,ing to the cam paign managers oI
the Wilson administrator, as thei'
previous denials are not only discredit
ed but suspicion is cast upon all their
other political assertions.
