FINANCIAL CIRCLES FIRM

From the Kansas City Star.
The declaration of war by the
United States against Germany has
caused hardly so much as n tremof' in
| business and financial circles. The
absence or any perturbation over the
nomentous event evidently may be
attributed chiefly to two circumstan-
ccs: The Fundamental soundness of
this country's prosperity, and the ex-
perience of the past two years, which
seem to have made business immune
to shocks.
When the great European war
{ started in the summer of 1914 it was
a surprise to nearly everyone. 1t
came suddenly, with tremendous pos
sibilities, ard created trade and fl
nancial conditions without precedent.
/ The business of the world was para
| lyzed for time. 1t gradually recov-
cred in this country and then worked
into the great boom that has come
from supplying immense quantities
of necessities and of war material to
the allies.
In the past three years one event
after another of tremendous import
has occurred. The first ones brought
. shocks to business. The more fecent
ones have made almost no impression
even on the stock market, which us
ually is the first place to reflect the
effects Of events on business. Now
comes the actual entrance Of the
United States into the war on the
side Of the allies.
Involving properly, probably the ex-
penditure of billions of dollars, huge
government loans, great increases in
taxes, the diversion of hundreds of
thousands of men from productive
activities, and probably widespread
government domination of industries
supplying war materials, and trade
goes on without halt and apparently
without much anxiety.
Evidently the average business
man thinks that even if the country
does go. entirely on war basis on
huge scale, there is no present need
OF anticipating evil results to trade.
He has been seasoned by nearly three
years of rapidly succeeding sensation
and he has concluded to move along
as before and let the future take care
OF itself. He has become complace-
philosopher, and the old nervousness
of trade and timidity of money seem
to have passed away.

WHAT CAN THE MATTER BE?

A letter has been received in Du-
range by one who has relative in
Canada The letter suggests that the
people of Canada are discussing the
advisability of the Canadian gov
ernment sending an army to the
Mexican borders to protect the Unit
ed States in the event of an invasion
by the Mexicans. OF course, the
people of the country do not admire
such publicity and it is evident that
The people of Canada do not fully un-
derstand their neighbors. However,
these reports are natural results in
the face of the dilly-dallying con-
grcss that should get busy and do
something. For weeks the congress
mas been trying to do something, but
owing to the varying opinions and
The desire to postpone business it has
accomplished but little except the ad-
mission that. a state of war exists.
They will not even back the Presi-
lent who is urging congress to give
him power to raise an army. Get busy

and let somebody work who can and
will.
