Duration of EurOpe;s Giant
War Depends on Economic Not
Financial Exhaustion, Says Savant

tcI VI TIC Ici0uNC CeOuouhiC eAuaub-
ton Of the belligerents. Yet to most
minds the possibility of continuing
the war seems to pivot upon the in
ability TO finance" their increasing
expenditures. What does "fnanc-
Ing" In this sense mean? II Is the
series of monetary and credit opera
tions arising out of government
transactions in war supplies. Can
the government pay for it's extraor-
binary war expenditures II 1t can
not, must 1t succumb and make
peace?
From what does any government
get means Of payment? Obviously
from the wealth. or goods. owned by
Its citizens or from loans placed In
foreign, countries. Water cannot
rise higher than It's source; nor can
a state spend more than the wealth.
or goods, 1t can obtain by taxation
or borrowing. The amount of paper
money IL may issue, or the bonds II
may sell. does not increase its
wealth one whit. Debts do not In
crease assets.
The MarshaIins Of Resources
Successful public financing con-
sists In meeting extraordinary war
expenditures by a means of payment
acceptable at given point OF time
to the sellers of goods. AS a me-
dunn Of exchange In transferring
goods in war time no great addition.
II any, 10 the quantity OF money in
ordinary use Is needed. In view OF
the enormous service rendered by
banking devices for aiding In the ex.
change of goods. Hence not only
must belligerent have wealth and
credit. but IL must have the ability
10 marshal its resources in the form
OF accepted means of payment at
the place and time to cover its ex-
penditures as the war goes on. II
may thus be seen in Europe today
that belligerent with large re-
sources may be financially bankrupt
as a government. while another. with
less resources. may be regarded as
financially solvent as government.
The true situation Is disclosed not
by issues OF paper money nor by
public debt.
We are not likely TO get test OF
the ability Of belligerent 10 con.
tinue nghting by considering merely
the matter OF financial exhaustion
OF lack OF money" The northern
states In the American Civil war
we're often financially bankrupt, yet
their resources were not exhausted
and the nation went on fighting for
years; IL its finances had been well
managed II would have had to de-
sist only IL its economic resources
In goods had been exhausted sooner
than those OF Its adversary The
south yielded not because of its
financial mismanagement but be-
cause OF it's economic exhaustion.
Pili-s Burdens on the Future
Financial exhaustion cannot come
merely through the piling up of an
enormous debt. The big debt and
the burdens of taxation entailed by
II are questions bearing on the fu-
ture resources and credit OF the
country. The making of loans puts
mort gage on the future in order
10 obtain present means OF payment
for war supplies. II is a question OF

"Few people knew the real George
Evans" says Raymond Call. mem
Der of the Black and White revue,
miniature minstrels. in the Orpheum
theater this week. Honey Boy
was hearty fellow to meet. but
deep down In his heart he nursed
sorrow and only few knew that
his jovlality was forced. Evans
hailed from a small town In New
York state and because he became
minstrel he was practically dis
owned by his mother and father, and
though George laughed and joked
and entertained thousands Of people
his mind was always back with his
folk and he nursed this sorrow for
years. Finally he was induced to
20 back home, but things were not
the same. The story of Evans life
was like an old-fashioned novel.
