OUR GREAT RESOURCES

While the war appropriations con-
sidered and passed by Congress are
unprecedented In proportions. they
are, OF course, comparative. They are
not so appalling when taken into con-
sideration along with statistics on the
income and resources Of the Nation.
According to the government reports
the foreign trade OF the country in the
last fiscal year was $s,953. 1000, 900
exports $6,2s4,oOo,Oo0. and imports
1858, 0OO,0 That left a balance Of
trade In our favor s3,6S5, 100000. A
financial expert dwelling on these
impressive figures points out that the
balance in our favor represents In
creased wealth, and that while it went
to individuals. not the government, 1t
Is q measure OF our capacity to stand
war expenditures. A government is
as rich as the power Of its people to
pay.

coNsTITUT1oNALITY OF IT

While the proceedings brought IN
the Supreme Court to test the consti-
nationality Of the selectiVe draft Tor
the purpose of sending our armies to
France, have not come to decision,
there can be no doubt as to what the
conclusions Of the court will be. In
the meantime it is refreshing to read
the decision Of Judge Speer OF
the United States District Court OF
Georgia, who passed practically on
the same question now before the
higher court. The Georgia test case
was brought at the instigation Of the
notorious Thomas E. Watson OF that
State, who attacked the draft law as
being in contravention Of the neither
slavery nor involuntary ser7itude'
clause Of the constitution-that being
the fayorite ground OF attack adopted
nv Mr.. Watson and other persons who
are seeking to hamper the nation at
war. OF this contention Judge Speer
rightly says:
ITO axree to This contention we must
conclude that a soldier Is slave. Noth-
ing could be more abhorrcnt 70 tho
truth, nothing more degrading to that
indispensable and gallant body OF. clti-
Mons trained in arms. to whose manhood,
1k11l and courage is and must DO COM
nottted the task Of maintaining the very
axtstence Of the Nation and all that Its
people hold dear.
Watson injected another argument,
the same that Is laid stress on In the
case now pending in the Supreme
Court, that sending our troops out OF
sthe country to war would be a viola,
,ttion of the common law right Ito re-
>main in the realm" It Is easy to see
where such a contention would lead
us, II it were competent. AS Judge
sSpeer says, il the National army can
not be employed in foreign lands or
.beyond the seas. then indeed Is our
scountry impotent." In the delivery OF
st. opinion the Court maintained that

SUPPRESS NEWSPAPER
German Military Authorities Suspend
Berlin Dcutsche. Zeitung

Copenhagen, Sept. 2S.-Under or
ders of the military authorities the
pan-German newspaper Deutsche
Zeitung of Berlin, has been suppress
ed and the Socialist VoIkswacht of

In connection with this and other
recent suppressions of newspapers in
Germany it is interesting to recall
the ultimatum issued by the main
committee of the reichstag at it's ses-
sion in August. The committee gave
the government four weeks to reform
| the censorship, restricting it to it's
proper place in the control of publi-
cation of military news. Censorship
