view of the danger of attempting to
meet war expenses without sweeping
increases in taxation. it is believed
that bond issues which will be made
to defray the cost OF placing this coun-
try on a preparedness footing will be
accompanied by radical advances in
taxes so that at least a part OF the
sinews OF war will be derived from
cOntemporaneous sources.
Professor o. NJ. w. Sprague, Of Har-
ward, recently pointed out in a strik-
ing way the objections TO government
loans as a method of war financing. A
bond issue. he said, raised prices by
expanding credit, and that it was in
this advanced market, created by its
own borrowings, that the government
would have to spend the money it bor-
rowed. A prominent banker of New
York in an anonymous statement in
this regard to Daily Financial Amer
lea said that conscription of income
has an Ominous and repellent sound,
but that it is a logical step in war
financing "One man goes TO war" he
continued, lin the service of his cOun-
try. giving up his earnings and per-
haps his life, while another man stays
al home and grows rich as result Of
the conflict If the soldier in the Held
is ready to sacrifice everything on the
altar OF patriotism It is only fair that
the 'stay-at.home' should at least give
up part of his income"
The advantages of increased taxa
tiOn as opposed to war loans are OBJ
vous in a comparison of the present
situation Of Germany with Great
Britain's financial status. It is evident
that at the close of hostilities abroad
the people of Germany must assume
a staggering load of taxation to wipe
out the enormous debt of the Empire.
England, however in initiating a pol
I icy Of unhesitating taxation has placed
the country on such a solid basis that
| the British Chancellor was recently
able to say that, Notwithstanding the
enormous borrowing and the huge
rise in interest charge, if the country
should return to a peace footing, with
government charges. other than inter
est the same as before the war, pres
ent revenue, after paying bond inter
est and pensions would leave a sur.
plus Of about half a million dollars a
year. to be applied to the extinction
Of the national debt.
Whatever may be said in favor OF
increased taxation in war financing
however, it is Nevertheless certain
that government loans are an indis
pensable adjunct to the fiscal policy
of nation at war A conflict waged
for just cause is a public benefit and
future generations should bear theiI
share of the expenditures entailed
Furthermore. to excessively tax the
available resources of a country is tC
place an almost paralyzing handicaI
on industry and business. Hence, it Is
probable that the war financing meth
DDS adopted by the United States viii
provide for a judicious combination
of bonds and taxes.

first Official announcement OF the fiscal
policy which viii be adopted by the
government to this end will be con-
tanned i'm the Presidents address con-
vening the extraordinary session of
Congress and meanwhile discussion IS
rife as to the comparative advan-
tages Of taxation and bond issues in
financing the nations readiness
measures.
AT the opening OF the European
war, Germany decided to prosecute
the fight against the Entente Powers
by bond issues in the hope of LIQUID
ating this indebtedness through in
IDENTITIES secured from her enemies.
Five loans aggregating twelve billion
dollars have been fioated by Germany
at five per cent. and the sixth is now
being arranged AS a result OF this
method of war financing, there have
been but comparatively small in
creases in taxation in the GerHfan
Empire, but an enormous burden is
being piled up for future years, while
already the heavy interest charges of
previous bond issues must be met out

Great Britain. on the contrary, has
followed the 'pay-as-yougo' policy in
so far as it was possible without i'm
posing an overwhelming weight OF
taxation on the people The current
revenues of the country are running
at the rate of $7.0O0O 900 daily as com
pared with $l.50O,000 before the war
Il Is true that the expenditures OF
England approximate S35OO0.O00 pei

through increased taxation with the
money obtained through three great
bond issues and minor sales OF Brit
ish Treasury bills. But by raising
taxes on special articles OF luxury
and more particularly by assessing q
80 per cent. tax on surplus profits due
to the war. the country has not only
been enabled to pay all its enormous
interest out Of current revenues but tC

YOU CAN FIGHT FOR YOUR COUNTRY IN YOUR
KITCHEN.

TT ia impossible to put too much emphasis upon the
necessity for food saving by everyone during the
war
Food is going to play important part II not
more important part in the than guns and ammu-
milton.
The saving of food is very largely an individual
problem.
In the final analysis IT Is up to the women of the
nation
Every woman should do her part in tho governments
campaign to increase and conserve the nations foou
supplies.
The food necessities Of all of the nations with which
we are allied in the against Germany, are very
great
The people OF America must save every pound OF
food that selfimposed rigid economy makes possible
10 the end that there be the greatest possible surplus
for shipment to our hard pressed allies
Do not make the mistake OF confusing the food
problem with the financial problem.
You have no more moral right to waste food simply
because YOU can afford 10 do than has your small
income neighbor
It is not a question of saving food for the moneys
sake II must be saved so that there will be enough
to go around.
Every pound of food that finds its way to the garbage
can means that much loss OF fighting strength
Volunteer today, for the duration Of the war in the
great American army of food savers.
Begin now, today. TO demonstrate thrift in your
home
Make saving. rather than wasting. your social
standard.
To Wilmington housewives would say that you can
fight for your country in your kitchen just as ehec-
tivev as your husbands brothers, and sweet
hearts are fighting for it on the field Of battle.

PEACE PROPOSAL

not mean abandonment of the Monroe
doctrine.
Another resolution, by Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota, which also
was read and laid on the table today,
declared that while the senate sym
pathized with the presidents effort to
secure speedy termination Of the war,
nevertheless 1t was unable to agree
with the presidents proposal for "a
peace without victory" or the specific
terms for the United States joining
a world tribunal to enforce peace.
CumminS declared that the plan the
president suggested would involve the
United States either in almost con-
slant world war or constant rebellion
against the authority of world SOW
ereignty the president proposes.
Asserting that he stood with the
president in every moral effort pos
sible for him to exert to bring an
end to the war, Senator Cummins
said he refused to follow him when
he leads the way toward the world
sovereignty which he has proposed"
Senator Lewis of Illinois, Democrat,
introduced a resolution which would
express it to be the sense of the sem
ate that President Wilson's peace ad-
dress does not propose adjustment or
limitation of the Monroe doctrine nor
propose military aggression by the
United States in foreign lands. He
asked that the resolution lie on the
table.
The Lewis resolution, designed as
substitute for Senator Borah's pro-
posal reaffirming the Monroe doctrine
and the advice Of Washington and
Jefferson against foreign alliances,
would declare 1T is the sense of the
senate that the address Of the presi-
dent delivered on Jan. %, 1917, does
not propose the adjustment or limi-
tation Of the Monroe Doctrine of Am
erica in it's effect or application on any
part Of the western hemisphere nor
does it propose to send the army or
navy or any military or naval power
of the united states to any foreign
territory, except when necessary to
preserve the peace Of the United
States or to protect the just rights Of
America or where the same Is assail-
ed"
Senator McCumber's resolution re-
cited that while the senate could not
agree with the specific statement of
the presidents message 1t should de-
clare itself as standing ready to join
with other world powers in lending
the moral and physical force" Of the
United States toward preventing an
other devastating war.
