Gold and Iron

Current comment is much occupied with the
food OF gold Less is said of something more
signiheant--the outward food OF iron. In Iol6
the imports Of gold were $6s7,700OO0. The cx.
ports of iron were 100000 In 1915 the
relation OF those items was reversed, The i'm
ports OF gold then exceeded the exports Of iron
the growth Of imports of gold having been
roughly only half, while the exports Of iron
have more than doubled In fact, il NAV be
increased in 1916 by $206000000 II the exnorts of
iron had not increased by SAT- 600
The significance of these contrasts Is that ro,
is the primary metal, not gold. Whoever has iron
commands gold, whether in war or in peace
Gold for the most part Is used only by being
parted with.
These facts are controlling in the war after
the war, whether it be another military war or
commercial war. The world will be slow to
quarrel with nation whose resources include
mightier warshop than Krupp's, and which is
not the largest of our list. The world knows
that they have fought with our iron and our
weapons, to some extent, and that in equppina
them to fight we have surpassed them in that
leading item OF preparedness. The world mas
learned that It is not enough to have men and
money--we have both-but that it is more neces-
sary to have iron than gold, and again we have
both. The world knows that, as Il used to be
said OF armies nations fight on their stomacbs.
and IN that respect we are better equipped than
soldiers with breadstuffs BY the billion because
we know how to use iron tools on the farms
Il the war after the war is to be commercial orr
ability in agricultural machinery, ships railways
warehouses; shops attest that we are leaders ;n
the arts Of peace. Too much gold marks deca.
derce. There never yet was a country which had
too much iron in either peace or war
