LONG WAR WILL ADD
TO j. S. STRENGTH,
SAYS CONG. RAINEY.

Although the expenditures OF the
United States are far greater than
those OF any other belliEerent, the
end OF the war will ind this country
in a better financial position than any
other nation, Congressman Rainey OF
Illinois said today.
The longer the war lasts the bet
ter does the position OF the United
States become as compared with other
nations" he added. with a banking
system that absolutely insures
against panic. with our securities sta
bilized by the War Finance Corpora
ton act. and with a gold cover OF 81
per cent-a greater gold cover than
any commercial nation has ever had
in the worlds history-the conclusion
of peace will see this country in the
position OF the worlds most powerful
nation so far as finances are con-
cerned"
High Per Capita Income.
At the bottom OF 1T all. he said, is
the fact that the daily per capita in
come OF The population is S1.O5, while
the per capita expenditure is only IS
cents. Great Britain's per capita in
come is 20 cents and her per capita
expenditures amount TO - cents.
Frances per capita income is 81
cents, and her expenditures so cents.
Germany has a per capita income OF
- cents and an expenditure OF 40
cents.
Up to this time. Rainey said, the
war has cost 1922 900, 00O, 900. OF which
total the allies have expended $S2,-
900. 100000 Each hfty-four days, an
amount equal to the expenditures on
both sides during the four years OF
the civil war is being spent. The to-
tai cost of the war Is greater than
the aggregate cost, of all wars OF
which anything is known since the
world began.
Forty Million q Day fer L. =.
The direct expenditures OF the
United States amount to 1000. 900
daily. Rainey explained. and gross ex-
penditures. including loans to the all
lies total $40, 100000. These expendi-
lures compare with totals OF $50 ,OO0,-
900 spent daily by Great Britain, and
$50 900 900 by Germany. Long contin-
uation OF the war will force prac-
tically every other fighting nation
into bankruptcy. Rainey said, and
will put the United States in a better
position in comparison.
