Reventlow, writing in The Deutsche Tages Zeitung,
says with reference to the sinking of the American
steamers, City of Memphis Illinois and Vigilancia:
It good that American ships have been obliged to
question of distinctive treatment for the United

War to Cost u. s.
10 Billion a Year,
Seligman Says
Columbia Professor Favors
Loans Running for Not
More than 20 Years

The United States must count on the
oxnonditurc of S1O.OOO.OOO.OO the first
wear Of the war and another 10000
100000 the second year, according to
Edwin r. A. Scligman, professor OF
nolitical economy at Columbia Univer-
sity. who. with Professor Robert NJ.
Haic. has written the sixth of the Co
umbia's war papers. "How to Finance
the War" issued yesterday by the d.
vision of Intelligence Of Columbia.
There appears to be no sound basis
of known facts for the belief that the
Central Powers are on the verge Of col
lapse" said Professor Seligman.
The problem Of financing the war
he continued. resolves into the argu-
ments on loans versus taxes, the kind
Of Indebtedness to be incurred and the
methods Of taxation. The wisest course
for the United States lies between the
extremes of raising money solely by
borrowing and solely by taxation.
'Tf we are to count on an expenditure
of not far from ten billions the first
wear and a similar sum the second year
Of war, it would be necessary TO raise
bv new taxation for the first year of
the war at least one and one-half bill
ions Of dollars (half billion Tor IN
terest. one billion for amortization
and during the second year three BILL
ions"
Of the loans issued, Professor Selig,
man said: THE government should
profit from experience, and should Is
sue bonds TO run for not more than ten
Years. or. at the outside. twenty years.
il would be deplorable If such gigantic
issues as we have in contemplation
we're TO be made with the simple pros
pect of refunding the loans at some
future time, particularly in view OF the
strength of our present economic, po-
sition. A perpetual debt or even a long
debt must be avoided
The chief method Of raising money
bv taxation, Professor Seligman thinks
will be the income tax.
