Tho Cost of War

CHAIRMAN FITZGERALD, Of the House
~ Committee on Appropriations, has an
nounced that $1S,000,000,000 Of American
money will be expended on the first years
war operations, and that this will be ap-
proXimately one-fourth of the total sum
which all the beligerents of Europe combined
will spend. In the same statement the
chairman urges that the nation assume all
the taxation that it can bear without i'm
pairing our economic efficiency.
These astounding figures. They repre-
sent more money than any nation in the his
tory of the world was ever able to mobilize
at one time. They represent more money
than the United States rich as we are, Is
able to pile in heap, If every dollar OF cur
rency or coin In the country were conscripted
by the government Eighteen billions OF
dollars Is probably more actual cash than
there is in the whole civilized world. But
1t should be remembered that comparatively
little cash will be used in the expenditure
Of this vast sum, just as comparatively little
cash Is handled by the average business
house There will be loans and credits.
Bonds will be Issued and taxes collected.
but there will be no draining OF the coun-
trys visible or tangible supply Of money
Little Of the currency which we in our
everyday affairs will be shipped out of the
country. None that loan to our allies
will be withdrawn. unless 1t be small meas
ures Of gold which may be needed abroad.
The process of spending the $4,000, 100000
which the government needs will follow the
lines of any other domestic expenditure. The
government will go into our markets for the
supplies which war requires. Our allies will
do the same thing. The money which we
may contribute when we pay taxes or pur-
chase our bonds will find its way back into
the channels OF trade almost as soon as 1t is
paid in. And much of 1t will find It's way
back to the taxpayer himself. He will re-
ceive 1t by indirection, of course, but he will
receive 1t nevertheless.
We need not feel alarmed the effect
upon our economic system of this great war
enterprise. 1t will not make for hard times
In the United States. On the contrary. 1t
promises us a period of prosperity more
widespread in its benefits than any season Of
plenty through which we. as nation, have
ever passed.
