Upon many occasions such rules
pressed hard upon all branches Of in
dividual and corporate enterprise, and
business men naturally grew FESTIVE
under the delays and uncertainties
thus incurred; not to speak of the
friction and trouble caused by tnexpe-
rienced and arbitrary officials. All
such drawbacks were, however,
cheerfully endured for patriotic rea-
sons, and now our manufa cturers,
bankers and merchants, after real ex-
perience as to what it means to have
the government in business, are re-
joicing over the prompt approach to
normal conditions. At the close Of the
year the railroads. shipping, tele-
graphs and telephones remain under
government control; and q measure of
regulation over foreign exchange, gold
and bank credits Is still in existence.
The government also holds immense
quantities Of merchandise which must
be Sold and still exercises more or
less control over wheat and meat
prices. In other respects, however,
public regulation has almost COM
pleteIy disappeared.

departure, and one that will ult-
mately lead to an increase Of national
prosperity and influence, When war
borrowing is ended we will be in a
position to grant these credits freely,
having more free capital than any

there. Great social and political
changes are inevitable. Some Of them
have already occurred, and others will
follow. Even now we are uncon-

been made by the government into
business. Many new functions were
projected, and official activities were
tremendously expanded into entirely
new fields. Not a few Of these activi-
ties are sure to remain, despite de-
mobilization; and whether govern

Industrial mobilization is pro-
