THE NEW BUDGET.

That the war, up TO June 30. 1918, is
likely TO cost ten billion dollars seems
certain. How much more than that II
may cost is problematical 1t certainly
won't cost less.
Secretary McAdoo has just presented
demands to congress which, added to
the demands already presented, add up
to sS,257,S7S,S47
This is a powerful lot Of money. Blu,
it's got TO be raised The world can't
be made safe for democracy without
money without lots of money
1t is going to take sacrifice, whether
IL comes out Of direct taxation or bonds
or what not TO raise the necessary
amount But no ideals were ever put
through into reality without sacrifice
The thing to do is TO face the music
and raise the money and make the sac
rifices which have to be done. The
quicker It is done, the less money will
have TO be spent.
The important thing TO watch out for
Is that the big moneymakers-especially
the companies which have been turning
out the war brides and war babies and
cutting war melons with rapidity and
efficiency should be made TO pay "A just
and equitable share.
