CRUEL and critical con-
u fict is raging and nobody
n pays the slightest attention
a. finance. But his stern message
). Congress show that in the
so;nion of the President money has
:, this time grave Importance
rhich statesmen must not be al
,,vsd to overlook. Americans will
n well' to realize that tie war
n;obt have been over by now if the
r,st resources of their credit had
mt been put at the service of the
Allies last year. In the first twelve
ronshs Of your participation in the
struggle you contributed ten bill
Inn dollars. OF this vast sum you
.rent five billions on your own
generations. The rest you lent to
otber ,belligerents, and half of it
vent to England. This means that
~ became responsible for two and
half billion dollars of the Liberty
hans, raised here, link which
nav have great political influence
IN DAYS to come. In order to pay
interest, it will be necessary for US
to export goods for consumption in
America and perform other serv-
ICES, like providing tonnage. And,
n passing, l may say that of the
money which we now owe, only one
per cent has been for our own use.
Practically the whole of what we
have received from you has been
loaned again to allies, which means
that daring the period of your first
year in the war Great Britain was
financially self-supporting. What
America did was to relieve the
strain that fell upon US because Of
the claims of our comrades.
League of Nations
And a.Common Debt
In future, it is possible that
America will lend direct to other
countries, instead of using Great
Britain as intermediary. This will
cancel cur contingent liability and
greatly simplify matters all around.
When the war is over, I cannot
doubt that the whole problem of
these tangled obligations will come
up for International review and
there is much to be said for the
League of Nations establishing
common debt. Presumably, joint
guarantee will be more stable than
series Of separate credits, and this
fact alone will tend to keep down
charges for interest. Still more i'm
portant would be the safeguard
against war which would be as
sured if twenty-three sovereign
states were bound together not only
BY treaties but by common invest
ment, held by banks, corporations
and private individuals. I am all
in favor Of an international liberty
loan. 1t is surely an indispensable
corollary to an international army
and an international navy, enforc-
ng International law.
The Strong Must
Restore the Weak
In war and peace alike, the strong
Will have to help the weak, and the
strongest of all Will be the United
states. Not only will Belgium and
Serbia and Italy and France and
Armenia need restoration, but a
more immediate case still is Russia.

Why were they so set against her?
All! She knew only too we'll! Because,
in her poor dining room, with its tar
nished furnishings, there was that lux
ury pretentious and insulting "a
piano. And because she, whose dresses
were worn shiny at the shoulders, per-
mitted herself, monster of pride, to
make issue from it, like the sparkling
jets of fountain, the hidden and
limpid sources Of harmony.
Husband Asked
Her to Play
When the war had carried her hus-
band far away--to some Shiny trench
on the Meuse-she had wished that the
house should remain silent. The piano
was closed. But letters arrived from
the front, calm, joyous and almost all
of them containing this supplcation:
II beg of you. my own, play every
evening-as you used to play before

will strain even the boundless wealth
OF America to the utmost. Now,
therefore, is the time for sacrifice.
1t is really astonishing tina. with an
income tax under collection, with a
hundred and fifty millions subscribed
to the Red Cross, and with about
four billions put into the third Lib
erty Loan, there should still be, on
the whole, q buoyant tone in Wall
Street. 1t shows that in this four
years of war America has. up to the
present, accumulated money, and the
danger is, as the President points
out in his statement on thrift, that
people will purchase unnecessary
things. The industries of the nation
are already overburdened. High
taxation will tend to relieve them by
diminishing the power of the people
to indulge in luxury. In England
we have had precisely the same
problem, and / have before me fig
ures which show that our great
stores in the West End have made
money; that is, higher dividends dur
ing the war. Mr.. Bonar Law is
therefore increasing taxation in this
one year by $40 million dollars
this not reckoning levy of II per
cent or one-sixth on the purchase
price of luxuries, the proceeds of
which impost cannot be estimated.
Money Only Half
AS Valuable
Great Britain makes up her ac-
counts from April l Of one year to
March 81 of the next. In the cur
rent period we expect to spend if
teen billion dollars. Of that sum we
shall raise four and half billions,
Or between quarter and a third by
taxation. These colossal figures are
perhaps a little misleading, for to-
day the purchasing power of the SOW
ereign in Great Britain is only one
half what it was before the war. A
little grocery store, run on coopera-
tive lines, of which I was chairman,
used to take $500 a week, but has
now a revenue of $1,000. or just
double-this under a scheme Of food
rations which reduces consumption.
One of the penalties of war is the
small value that we get for our
money. Bear in mind that America,
like Britain, is building up enor-
nous assets, among which may be-
mentioned huge shipbuilding plant,
and immense investments in rail-
ways. There are hints that with
you as with us the Administrator
may have something to say about
telephones and telegraphs. Anyway,
the financial sponsibilities Of
Washington are developing rapidly.
So also are those of Germany. In
March Of next year she will have a
debt of forty billion dollars. Inter
est alone will cost her two billion,
and her total annual expenditure
will be at least three and half bill
ion dollars in time of peace, if she
escapes without paying an indem-
nifty Her present revenue is less
than one-half Of this sum, and every
year she will find herself nearly two
billion dollars ON the wrong side.
The necessity for taxing her COM
mercial and territorial aristocracy
will probably throw the Kaiser into
conflict with those classes on which
his throne chiefly depends.
The British budget is in all con-
science drastic enough, so l should
think will yours be, but at least we
have this advantage over Germany
that we pay as we go, instead of
postponing the inevitable day of
reckoning.
