Italy. His notes indicated that at the
beginning OF the war the total mate
rial 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 conscious Of his greatness.
Then Uncle Sam began to investi-
gate the debit accounts of his neigh
bors. He found that since the begin
ming OF tho war--August !. 1914
Great Britain had borrowed in excess
or nineteen billions Of dollars which
added to the national debt previously
existing made total indebtedness in
excess OF twenty-five billion dollars.
and which. by the end or 1917 would
approach thirty billion dollars.
lie discovered that since 1914 France
had borrowed approximately eleven
billion dollars. that Germany had Dor
rowed fourteen billions. which added
to its previous debt of ono billion two
hundred million dollars. made a new
total, including accrued interest. OF
approximately sixteen billion dollars.
fe noted that since 1914 Russia
had borrowed about eight billion dol
lars; that Austria had borrowed in
onc-haif billions. and Hungary almost
two billion dollars.
lie computed that by the end OF
1917 Great Britain would have prac-
tically one-third Of her national wealth
mortgaged: that France would have
easily one-fourth. and that Germany.
the chief OF the Central powers. would
soon have approximately one-fourth Of

He noted that Germany alone pays
an annual Interest charge OF approx
mately 1892. 100000.
Then Uncle Sam realized that to
date he had borrowed less than one
two-hundredth Of his assets that to
20 into debt to the extent his Euro
pean neighbors have borrowed would
require borrowing to the extent of
nearly fifty billions. This 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
Liberty Loan multiplies the national
debt by seven, in spite of the fact that
it IS the largest loan ever offered in
the worlds history. a comparison OF the
proposed debt. with our resources.
compels the conclusion that such
volume of borrowing. under present
conditions. will hardly impair. to the
slightest degree. the nations credit.
and the successful contamination of
this loan will not require anything
like the financial strain that most
European nations have already success
fully undergone.
