He computed that by the end Of 1917
Great Britain would have practically
one-third of her national wealth mort
gagged that France would have easily
one-fourth; and that Germany, the
CHIEF Of the central powers, would soon
have approximately onefourth Of its
assets mortgaged
He noted that Germany alone pays
an annual interest charge Of approx
mately $S32 100000
Then Uncle Sam realized that to
date he had borrowed less than one
two-hundredth Of his assets; that to
go into debt to the extent his European
neighbors have borrowed would re-
ouire borrowing to the extent of nearly
fifty billions. rhis volume Of money
would enable him to conduct five years
of warfare with an annual expenditure
equal to that which Great Britain is
now making.
So. in spite Of the fact that the Lib
erty Loan multiplies the national debt
nv seven. in spite of the fact that it is
the largest loan ever offered in the
worlds history, comparison of the
proposed debt, with out resources, com
pels the conclusion that such a vol
lme of borrowing under present condi-
Ions. will hardly impair to the slight
est degree, the nations credit and the
successful consummation Of this loan
viii not require anything like the fl
nancial strain that most European ma
tions have already successfully under
gone.

lars, and that there was borrowed from
banks and trust companies, for com
mercial purposes, about eighteen bill
lions Of dollars.
In addition to keeping a good set Of
books on his own business, Uncle Sam
also kept books on the affairs of his
neighbors. He made some interesting
comparisons and discovered that the
material wealth Of the United States
was greater than that Of any two ma
tions on earth. He found that it was
as gerat as. the total combined wealth
Of Great Britain, France, Russia and
Italy. 1t was more than double that of
England four times that Of France
and eight times that of Italy. His
notes Indicated that at the beginning
OF the war the total material wealth
of Germany was eighty-five billions of
dollars. and that Of Great Britain
eighty billions. Verify this giant Of
the west contemplating these figures,
for the first time. really became con-
scious Of his greatness.
Then Uncle Sam began to investl-
gate the debit accounts of his neigh
bors. He found that since the begin
ming Of the war-August 1, 1si4-Great
Britain had borrowed in excess Of nine
.een billions of dollars which, added
10 the national debt previously exist
ng, made a total indebtedness in ex-
,ess Of twenty-five billion dollars, and
which, by the end OF 1917 would ap-
'roach thirty billion dollars.
He discovered that since 1914 France
lad borrowed approximately eleven bill
ion dollars, that Germany had borrow
d fourteen billions, which added to
is previous debt Of one billion two
undred million dollars. made a new
otal. including aecrued interest. of ap- .
sixteen billion dollars.
He noted that since 1914 Russia nad
orrowed about eight billion dollars;
hat Austria had borrowed in excess t

After the citizens had raised fund of

A ditch was also cut for a mile and

statement Of his eondition.
Assets ------ 100000, 100000 plus.
Liabilities ST. .023, ,357.25O
In other words, the total material
wealth Of the United States was in ex.
cess Of two hundred billions of dollars,
some estimates placing it as high as
two hundred and twenty-five billions.
The last official total was in 912 when
the figure was one hundred eighty.sev-
en- billions. On April /, 1917 our ma
ton debt was slightly over a billion
Uncle Sans debts as compared with
his assets were about as one to 220.
But the smile that decorated Uncle
Sans face was not inspired entirely by
the statement Of his comparative deb
its and credits He looked at the rec
ord Of national income and saw that
the total was forty billions Of dollars
a year or forty times his debts. He
took out his pencil and made some
comparisons. He found that his ma
tional income had increased more than
SO per cent in the last seven years,
and more than 115 per cent in the last
seventeen years.
Continuing further with the inven-
tory. the old gentleman turned to the
page devoted to foreign trade and dis
covered that this item for 1916 amount
