vices. A large falling off in available

steamers of that size sail under the

Government Demands Give
Added Stimulus to Trade

The transition from peace to a state
of war has been accomplished with only
n minimum Of unsettlement in business
and industry, according to the weekly
reviews of the commercial agencies.
"Conservatism engendered b. the
war" says Bradstreet's, plays a minor
role to the activity created by the
crisis. which has further stimulated
demand for ship steel, ship lumber
harness, saddlery, mules, blankets, IN
derwear, clothing, shoes and numerous
other articles. Industry huns while
mobilzing in aid of the government,
the wants Of which will receive pref
crcncc as 20 deliveries, in addition to

interests show strong desire TO take

Paying the War Bills

Henry +. Cooper. vice-president OK
the Equitable Trust Company. IN d.5-
cussinC yesterday the United States
governments tentative programme OF
war finance. said that care must he
taken moi to destroy through excessive
taxation the country's power of pro-
duction.
There are two theories" he said,
las to the proper method of war OK
penditures- first, that OF the school OF
economists from Adam Smith down
that the extraordinary expenses OF
war snould be raised and paid for. as
FAR as possible, by additions to taxa
ton; ard, secondly, the opposite
school, who believe that a war should
be financed by long-term loans.
81 believe that the taxation theory
is practicable only in case of very
short and comparatively inexpensive
wars. 1t was, for instance. well fitted
for the purpose of financing the crl-
mean War and the Boer War. In n
war Of the magnitude Of the present
one. however. with its terrific drain
upon the resources Of nation. the
practice of this theory ia impossible,
as the huge expense will result in such
large taxes as 10 discourage industry
through its necessary tax on the
profits OF corporations. and arouse dis.
content. and even revolution. among
tho inhabitants BY a necessarily great
income tax.
"A happy medium, therefore, must
bo found, and combination Of tie
two methods would seem TO meet tie
needs. viz. make taxation as large as
possible (without, on tho one hard,
diecour1-ing industry by an excessive
tax on the profits Of corporations, or.
on the other hand. stirring disconter:,
and perhaps revolution. BY claiming
too great a portion of tho individuals
incomej ard raising the balance by
means OF loans. Furthermore, in the
amount of taxation care must be taken
not to destroy through excessive tax
alton the investment capital produc-
ing power Of the nation. which is. Of
course, simply the amount of annual
income which can be saved; for it il
through this, naturally, that a nations
productivcness is maintained or in
creased"
