ECONOMY IN SCIENCE

One OF the most gratifying develop
meuts Of tho times is the increased
extent to which the large industrial
corporations Of the country now SUP
port their own departments Of sclen-
,ific research Science is regarded as
q necessity rather than a luxury. And
this coming Of science into its own as
a large factor in the industrial life CT
the nation is necessarily followed BY
q certain reaction Of business upon
science. Never before, perhaps, has
the demand been so keen for research
that is no less than ever scientific IN
spirit and in mtthod but that has a
definite purpose and yields definite re-
suits. The idea Of making science use
full is not new, but the utility Of sci
ence has become more universally the
test of it's value.
The business policy Of organizing So
entific investigation for effective work,
however, is far from novel. for in 1878,

the creation of the United States Geo
logical Survey, the National Academy
of Sciences described the ideal plan

Many estimates have been made
recently as TO the cost of the Euro
!pean war up to the present time. A
comparative estimate would mean
that the current cost is over $780,
900 900 per day and that already
81 600. 900 5000 of indebtedness has
been created. This includes not mere
~ the expenditures up to this time,
but also the contracts already entered
into for carrying on the war up TO the
end OF its third year.
These are the admitted facts. But
it Is easy 10 see that the leading con-
teStants put at figures as low as pos
siblc their own shares Of the indebted
ness. My estimates OF the RESPONSE
bilitics Of the leading contestants
Great Britain and Germany are diff
ferent from those stated by them.
There are two groups OF nations
!on each side. some Of which are al
ready bankrupt a certain sum Of
money luay be expended by Turkey:
but, after all, it will havr 10 be paid
by Germany. Turkey cannot pay It's
own war expenses. In the same way.
Russia. Italy,. Belgium. Serbia and
Roumania cannot pay their own bills.
Franco and England arc responsible
for them: hence the share of the wars
expenses borne by France and Eng
land is far greater than they have
conceded as is t;ermany's on the
other side. My estimates. then. are
based upon the fact that the indebl.
edness incurred can be paid BY those
peoples only that have financial re-
sources. At thr, present time, the only
nations that can b" financially sound
arc England. France and Germany.
When their resources arc exhausted.
the war must come to its end. What
now. are tho resources Of those three
nations. and what portions OF their
resources are already expended?
Here. again Il serious error is made
| in estimating resources. an error by
which they are largely orerstated.
Usually it is assumed Thai 1hc re-
sources are coincident in amount with
1.-The values existing in country. In
reality. the only funds availa bic for
carrying on a war are the liquid assets
ot each nation. The lands. buildings.
railroads and like investments cannot

wealth for war purposes is about sou
600 900 900; tiermany's. about $35'o0o.-
