On the Credit Side Of the
Great Wars Balance Sheet
In Spite of Destruction and Waste, the Wealth
Producing Equipment of the World Is Only
Slightly Impaired, While That of the
United States Is Greater Than Ever

/, think Germany will lose some things
that she had before. but I think the
United States will come out with more
wealth than it had before.
| do not say that the United States
might not have been richer if there
had been no war. That is another
proposition. If we could have had all
this industrial activity upon peace
enterprises. in developing and upbuild-
ing this country or other countries; If
we could have had the same complete
employment Of our people; if we could
have expended all this money and labor
in improving our. railways and other
public utilities and our industries; if
we could have electrified our railways
and our industries, and hitched them
up to the running streams; if we could
have enlarged our terminals, tunnelled
more of our rivers, increased our ware
house facilities. irrigated or drained
some more Of our lands. and done other
things l might name, instead of put
ting this labor and money into the war,
no doubt we would be richer to-day
But as it is we have changed over from
debtor TO creditor nation. and be-
lieve that in capacity for wealth pro-
duction--that is to say, in capacity to
turn out stream of products and SER
vices which minister to the comfort
and welfare of our people-we are de-
cidedly ahead of where we stood at the
beginning of the war.
And so far as the future of bust
ness is concerned. there is no obstacle
to the continuance of business ac-
tlvity except the difficulty of readjust-
ing business to a peace basis. I do
not minimize that difficulty. On the
contrary, l think it very serious
one; but SO far as this theory Of the
exhaustion of wealth by the war is
concerned there is nothing in it. The
world is only slightly impaired, and of
this country is greater than ever.

Canadian Exports Association and the
Advisory Council for Industrial and

ADVISORY council for Industrial and
Scientific Research.
The Canadian Industrial Reconstruct
ton Association was organized last
March, with Sir John Wilson as its
executive head. Its functions are to
maintain industrial stability and to deal
with practical methods Of reconstruc-
ton. Its work so far has been to
acquaint the manufacturers and farm
ers Of the country with problems and
to discuss problems and put in opera
ton methods Of solving them. The
association is gathering detailed infor-
nation concerning manufactured ar
ticles and how raw materials can be
and must be assembled.
Steps will be taken to bring en-
ployes and employers together that
strikes may be avoided and mutual
cooperation may be established. Ex-
aggerated and Jealous individualism
among manufacturers has been detri-
mental to business. Manufacturers of
allied products will be shown ways of
acting together to avoid cut-throat
competition. through sane division
OF work. Practical results from the
work OF the association are necessarily
in their initial stages. The associa-
ton is celebrating plans to utilize the
motion picture for purposes of instruc-
ton in processes Of manufacture.
The Canadian Exports Association,
under the executive leadership of Sen.
ator Frederic Nichols. has already rem
dered important service, but its work
is just beginning. The organization,

urers' Association and backed by the

Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Under the stimulus of reports Of
the surrender of Turkey and the
debacle OF Austria Hungary, rates on
neutral countries showed tendency to
move i'll favor of New York all last
week. Because the reduction of the
premium on neutral exchanges had al
ready been to large extent effected,
the weakness Of the neutral exchanges
was not as great as might otherwise
have been expected under the pressure
Of the news OF the seeming collapse of
Germany's allies.
Gradual readjustment of rates has
cut the premium of neutral exchanges
to from ] to per cent. Only few
months ago the discount of the dollar
and hence the premium Of the neu-
trals'-was as great as 90 per cent.
The view is commonly expressed in
we'll informed banking circles that
after the war the dollar will be at a
premium in terms Of money in neu-
trail countries. Funds are expected to
flow here from those countries for the
purpose of securities, raw materials
and the whole miscellany of COM
modities which will become available
for export after the abnormal restric-
tions Of the war are lifted.
Francs were firm during the week,

Prosperous in
Spite of the War

But there is a great lesson in all
this experience. and this is the lesson
of the possibility of increasing the
production of wealth in this country
Notwithstanding all the men who have
gone from the farms into the war and
into the war industries, the farms have
produced more in the four years Of
war than in any other four years OF
cur history. notwithstanding all the
men who have gone from the railways
the railways have handled more traffic
than ever before. And so you may 20
through most of our really vital in
dustries. the industries producing
necessaries, and find that production
has been greater than ever.
The wage earners on the average
have earned more, lived better, and
probably saved more than they ever
did before. The farmers have been
prosperous and the average business
man has been prosperous, and your
own records as bond-selling organiza-
ton indicate that there is wider dis
tribution Of investments than ever be-
fore. 1t sounds like paradox, and
some of it is fictitious, for OF course
the Liberty bonds do not represent
real wealth; they are only claim on
the future.
But Oh the whole the country is
really prosperous in spite Of the war,
and the explanation is in the fact thai
our wealth producing powers have been
working at tate they never worked
before.

power, if unaccompanied by cor
responding increase of productive
capacity, means higher prices; in
other words, imitation. There will
be more Of it when subscribers to
the Fourth Loan borrow to make
their payments. 1t is not pleasant
to watch it, but we should watch it.

but Germany never travelled faster"

Two Kinds
of Losses

But somebody will say, Don't you
think there are any i'll effects from the
war? Is it possible that there can be
such a great waste of energy and such
an enormous distribution of wealth, of
the products of labor without after
effects? Well, of course. there is
great waste of energy, great destruc-
ton of products that have cost labor
There are two kinds Of losses. There
is the loss of something you have had,
OF what you had earned and had on
hand and counted as your capital.
That is a loss you feel keenly and per-
haps causes you to feel discouraged.
And then there is another kind of loss
the loss of what you might have
made. You look back and see when
you made mistake, that if you had
been wiser or quicker or more pains
taking or industrious you might have
made something where you missed out.
AS compared with what you might have
had you have los. something, but you
don't feel that loss quite so keenly
as the other.
Now, that is about the way l figure
the financial losses of this war; for
this country at least, and perhaps for
some of the others. I think the losses
of Germany will go a little further. I
