BABSON SEES BENEFITS
TO UNITED STATES IN WAR
Staiscian Whose Earlier Prophecies Came True Paints
Picture of Coming COnditions-Universal Suffrage

The great war will be over III three
months or it will last three years
longer.
If the latter cvcntuality ensues. we
of the United States ere going to be
against much tougher proposition
than we expect.
SO Roger ". Babson, acclaimed au-
thoIity on international matters, told
me at his home in Wellesley Hills yes
tcrday. a few hours after his return
from a trip that covered the southern
states and included Il STAY in Wash
mtgtou, whore he was in close touch
with those people who know exactly
what 5 happening i'll government cir
cles.
Not long after the opening Of the Eu-
ropean war-rcmcmher that was over
two years ago. interviewed Roger
Babson. These three things he told
rae then, early in 1915:
That under the obtaining alignment
of forces, the war would last ut least
three years.
That the submarine would be the
controlling factor Of the imbroglio.
That the United states would be
drawn into the war whether She woul6
or no.
There s no use charging upon what
has come to pass. The war has al
ready run nearly three Years; the sub
marine has been the controlling fac
tor; ON Tuesday the congress OF TIN
! United States declared a state of wa
exists with Germany. And there yol
are.
! What of the future? Mr.. Babsoi
I pictured for me German plants turning
out 80 submarines per week to pre-,
upon our commerce He showed IN
the government in full control Of on
food distribution Pictured our peopl
obtaining bread by ticket, our labo
. brought under military control ant
our amusemcntS cut off.
I lie showed me the rich poorer an'

From now on. however, we must ali

and France close their amusements, we
must close ours; il they prescribe but

purchase Of certain luXures, comman-
deer labor and temporarily suspend the
authority Of labor unions, we must also
bring these things about. We are now
partners and together we must share
profits and losses
Moreover, we won t he aa:lg this
out of any sympathy, nor out of any

doing it to save our own necks. For
think that Germany knows exactly
| what She IS doing: She would not have
embarked upon this submarine warfare
had she not thought it held for her a
| probable chance Of victory
Germany has been trying out a Sc
ries Of moves since the beginning of the
war and every one OF them with the
eNception Of the submarine warfare has
been checked. She has been fully
| stopped on the western front; she has
| temporarily been checked IN the Bal
kans; the Russian revolution has doubt
less been a great disappointment in the
eastern campaign.
Submarines Last, Best Card
,'This means that her military opera,
lions have been definitely checked in
sofar as her army is concerned. Hen
submarine campaign has slowly but
continually been more and more sue
cessful. Hence, this is not only her last
but her best card; a card that up t.
the present has been slowly winning.
The submarines haze menaced Eng

War Not "a Sure Thing

II am Of the opinion, said Mr.. Bah

considered it immatcrial whether or not
the United States entered the war. If
Germany cannot win. she surely wants

efforts to keep rs out OF the wax and

want Us IN. There is absolutely no
doubt that the allies have made it
plain TO this nation that the game is mp
unless the United States comes in.

people that we are not going into a

/ As 4 matter Of fact, as things
stand at present, Germany has had
much the better of the argument, and
is lighting more etieetually today than
she ever has been before. We must
realize the step we have taken and make
up our minds that no halfway meas
