(By Knowlton P. prx,dale.>

AA oNA&AlO
With the entrance of the United
states into the world conflict. there il
no occasion to fear that business will
y as a consequence.
lutte the opposite Is true. BUSH
ness Is merely the exchange Of COM
mod1ttes-the exchange of one mans
product for the product OF another.
with money as the medium of ex.
change.
h mistaken idea that because the
natlon Is at war, people should there
Iore sk1mp and economic and deny
themselves the things which they
would purchase under normal condi-
IONS, would, If followed, be calculat-
ed TO bring about the very condition
tnat II is most necessary to avoid.
To prosecute a war successfully re-
qulres money. and lots of it. The only
source which money can be OBJ
tanned Is from the people who have 1t.
The only way that people can get
money is by producing something,
whether the product be that Of brain
or Drawn, and exchanging that prod
uct for money. Then, the use Of that
money to purchase something which
somebody else produces keeps it in
circulation. encouraging production
and furthering business activity.
a single dollar in active circulation
contributes more toward promoting
the nation, allowed to remain DOR
mant.
There is more money in the country
today than ever before in our history.
The government is preparing to raise
several billions Of dollars. But that
does not mean that these billions are
to he withdrawn from circulation.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1917-05-11

Just the contrary 10 true. For the
most part, this money will DO raised
from funds which have been inactive
and every dollar Of 1t will soon And
its way into the channels of trade.
It will mean the production and pur-
ships. OF fo%odstuffs. and Of the innu-
merable other things necessary for the
equipment and maintenance OF our
army and Jul navy.
Even the funds which are loaned
to the European allies will not leave
u shores. but will remain in our
own country. and they also will DO
used to purchase war material:
The colossal purchases made In THU
country by the European allies during
the past two years have resulted in
unexampled prosperity here, and now
with more billions which must be ex-
pended in the same direction. that
prosperity is bound to be greater than
ever.
The individual who thinks that he
is helping his country's cause by prac-
ticing unwise economies and ncour
aging others to do so. is doubtless
well-meaning but sadly misguided,
and his activities ear tend only to
weaken rather. than strengthen the
situation.
The only economies which are at all
j%usti1able are those which will. serve
to assist in prosecuting the war. In
this list the most essential is the con-
serving of our food supplies. It is
probably safe to say that. the value
Of the foodstuffs wasted in the United
States Is enough to feed an army Of
a million men.
One of the important factors which
have contributed to making ours the
most prosperous country in the world
is the inclination Of the great mass Of
our people to spend their money In
providing themselves literally with
the things they want. whether those
things be necessities or luxuries. In
this way. each has been instrumental
in keeping his feliowman busy. and
