WASHINGTON, April 20. - With
her wealth the greatest Of any ma
ton in the world, and her national
debt less than that OF any belligerent
power. the United States today
stands in a state OF adequate finan-
cial preparedness for a long war.
In this connection fnanciers who
have studied the European struggle
predict that the nation which can
throw the last hundred million dol
lars into the balance will win the
war
At the outbreak Of the European
war the United States occupied an
enviabIe position so far as national
wealth and national debt were con-
cerned: today her position is enOr-
mously stronger because while the
European belligerents have been
burdening themselves with war
loans. the United States has been
free from the ife-sapping influence
Of increasing debt.
The European war has caused the
belHgerents TO add about $50. 900,
600. 600 10 their national indebted
ness so in the race for financial su-
premacy the United States had a
$50, O0O0 100000 handicap in her IA
vor in addition TO the lead she held
at the beginning Of struggle. should
this country be plunged in the war
