The amazing advance of America in
material wealth is brought by Secre-
tary Of Commerce RedfIeld in his an
nual report. Reviewing the record Of
the past few years the secretary says:
Our foreign indebtedness has been
reducd possibly three billions. We
have lent abroad total sum since the
war gchan on August /, 1914, estimat-
ed at Sl5O0,OO0, coo. and increasing,
We are the wealthiest nation in the
world and the most prosperous one.
We have not wasted our men or means
in war. Relative to our fiscal power
today our debts are trifling Nations
less worthy than some Of our individ-
ual states bear a heavier burden of
debt and interest than we.
I'VE are the only one Of the great in
dustrial epoples at peace. Nations
turn to us for goods and means with
which to pay us for the goods None
of us, in our widest financial faneies
five years ago, would have dreamed
that things could be as they now are. =

There is reason to believe that we
