NATIONAL PROBLEMS

Many serious problems win con.
front this nation at the close OF the
war, one of which will be the man
ner Of absorbing the enormous num-
Der of Americans now in foreign
lands. who will be returned to our
shores as fast as available ships can
bring them. Conditions will have
changed during their absence and
they will be without employment.
They will have risked their all to
protect the country in its hour of
need and will have a right to first
consideration. Unless careful study
is given the matter and wise pro-
vision is made. many OF them will
suffer and so will social conditions.
There can be but one final result
OF this conflict and that is that
Prussian militarism is forever to be
done away with. Under such condi-
tions there VIII not hereafter be the
necessity of building great warships
and maintaining vast army OF de-
tense, in consequence we will save
immense sums of money that here
tofore have been necessary expense
OF government. On the other hand
we will have an enormous national
debt, the interest alone OF which
will be a great burden. We are a
rich nation and can handle the debt
without serious concern.
The one all absorbing problem
will be, what shall we do with this
immense number of returning citi-
zen soldiers? How shall we provide
them with legitimate means Of
making livelihood?
The general government, in CO.
operation with states. can spend on
public highways sufficient funds to
construct a system of paved roads,
over which vast armies can be rapid
times OF peace and the rapidly in
creasing number Of motor vehicles,
the business OF the country can be
served and the pleasures of travel
satisfy In an economical manner.
