after
THE war

THE question as to the price of mon
ey after the war depends largely on its
duration, but there seems to be no
Question in the minds Of many who
have made study of this subject,
that money rates will rule high for
several years after peace comes. The
value Of the property which has been
destroyed runs into billions of dol
lars, and new capital will have to be
created to replace that which has been
destroyed. Moreover, a sufficient
length Of time will have to elapse in
which this new capital can be created
and during this process the existing
funds will naturally be in active de-
mand.
They will be required for rebuilding
practically half of France, all of Bel
gium, Serbia and large areas of Rus
STA and the Balkans, and at the same
time will have to function as the basis
for the creation of future capital.
They will be used to replenish the
world with its depleted stocks of food
stuffs and Industrial products and
much capital will also DO required at
home in order to keep up with the de-
rnands of our growing nation. Much
work is now being held in allegiance
in order to give precedence to war
I essentials and will undoubtedly be re-
sumed shortly after the close of hos
tilities.
All this coupled with the conserva-
tive efforts directed towards the re-
duction of the inflated basis upon
which currency at present rests, must
NATURALLY place a high price for the
use of money.-Wollman Review.
