Germany's two great campaigns of 1918

War Taxes Aftcr the War

IN vague way most or us nave TeanZeQ tndt
the accumulation of the vast national debt
for the purpose OF financing the war will i'm
pose a heavy burden OF taxation upon the
American people long after peace has come.
The interest on the bonds we are now buying
must be paid sinking fund must be pro-
vided for and it is not unlikely that great
military and naval establishment will be
maintained for long time after actual fight
ing has been suspended. 1t has remained
for the chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee TO present to the country con-
crete indication OF the permanent taxation
load which the American people must bear.
He has declared that the prospect is that at
least 81 100000 900 year will have to be
raised by tax levies after the termination OF
the war.
Should the war continue for another full
year, it is quite probable that the national
debt will be approximately $4,000, 900, 900.
1t is proposed TO spend $4,000, 100000 this
year, and already bonds to the amount of
nearly 100000 100000 are outstanding.
Next year the expenditures will not be less,
and they may be greater than those proposed
this year. OF the $50, 900, 900 900 or more
IN bonds which will have been issued before
the end of 1920, assuming that the war con-
tinues that long, no less than SIC, 900 600, 900
will be represented in the debt OF the allies
to this country. This would leave the Ameri-
can people TO pay interest on the remaining
$4,000, 5000
TO do this at least $3.50, 100000 would
have to be provided. and this would be but
the beginning. Some provision must be made
for Il sinking fund, and the current expenses
of the government would have to be met at
the same time. If Il very heavy armament
on land and sea were maintained, it might be
that Representative Kitchin's figures would
be too low. Probably S5,000,000,00 year
would have to be raised TO meet the govern
ments fiscal obligations.
In calculating this. the fact should be
borne in mind that the American people will
merely be dealing with each other. The
money they collect in taxes will be paid back
TO them in interest. When they subscribe to
Liberty bonds they are borrowing from
themselves The taxation that they must
meet will Offset the interest they will re-
ceive from their loans TO their government.
The only people who will not figure in this
| equation will be those who own no govern
| ment securities. These people will be taxed
| just the same as the Others, but they will
| have nothing to lean upon in the way OF an
| interest return upon their investments.

In allied high Official circles there has
more than once occurred an expression OF
opinion TO the effect that our war policy is
to internatonalize the Dardanelles, but to
leave Constantinople in the hands OF the
Turks. The latter part Of this program does
not appeal TO the American people, and it is
trusted that it will receive scant considera-
ton at the final council OF the allies which
will be held at the end of the war The idea
OF allowing Turkey to keep Constantinople
Is based ON the general doctrine that we
should not interfere with any people who,
constituting a majority OF the Inhabitants
