Dur War With Germany Must Be Undertaken a Spirit of
Sacrifice, Not With Hope of Gain

Many factories are running short time be-
cause fuel is scarce and high. Paper is high and
fewer books and newspapers are being published.
Those who must, are somehow learning to do
with less, and the result is gradual curtalment
OF consumption turnout the country.
This is the inevitable result Of high prices, and
when the laSsude Of sudden and fortutous pros
perity has passed and people are willing to go to
work again, il is altogether probable that the stan
dard Of living and wages will have to be reduced
thru subsection to the heathful but disageeabe
discipline that we call hard times.
II is time that we rid ourselves Of the delusion
that the world can be indefinitely prosperous thru
the expenditure of one hundred million dollars
a day for war and destruction, or that America
will benefit financially by joining the struggle.
For us war seems to have become duty, both
TO ourselves and to humanity; but ii is duty that
will be poorly performed unless it is undertaken
in a spirit of sacrifice rather than with the hope
OF gain.
The sentiment Of patriotism and the science
OF economies are not inconsistent
Both are opposed to any further increase in
The cost of living, by speculation or otherwise,
while civilization is struggling for existence.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1917-04-04

Public sentiment will prevent the admixture
of profit and patriotism however it may be dis
guiSed.
The tendency will probably be toward an in
crease of production and lowering OF prices by
harder work, longer hours and the CONSUMPTION OF
those wage earners whose chief concern now seems
to be to get the most money with the least effort.
In this respect their philosophy if it can be so de-
Scrbed does not differ much from that OF the
Spectator who hoped to get rich by buying some
thing and then going off TO Palm Beach to spend
money while the market advances.
The disposition TO loaf has become so general
that we are consuming more than we produce, and
the GRADUAL strangulation Of business activity by
high prices is the result II is apparent to the close
observer in every direction The countrys bank
clearngs for the week ending March II were 10
per cent larger than in 1916 but the average price
of commodities was 40 per cent higher and the
indicated volume OF business, as measured in tons,
yards or gallons, was, therefore, % per cent less
than il was year ago.
The railroads are being strangled by the high
prices of coal, iron and labor.
There is less building and new construction
in prospect than in 1916.
