Only now-just now--victory ceased
to be an idea and became, instead, a
feeling, national intuition.
Only now for the first is there a pre-
monition of defeat in Germany.
These are two momentous psychology
cal facts. Their bearing upon the physi-
cal outcome lis vital. Apart from all
material factors. people cannot achieve
victory by thinking it. They must feel
it. On the other hand, people cannot be
beaten physically until the spirit accepts
defeat.

clearer still-and we wish to make it
very clear. If peace conference had

The Peaks of War Production

We know that all the billions that are
raised by Liberty loans are of use in war
only as they effect the production of the
guns and cannon and munitions and food
with which a war is actually fought.
Therefore the primary consideration is
to speed up production to the limit. Ask
any hundred intelligent Americans as to
whether since our entry into the war,
we have been able to speed up produc-
ton, and we venture that nlnety-elght
out of them would unhesitatingly answer
yes. 1t will come as shock, therefore,
to most of US to know that in our basic
manufacturing industry, namely, pig
iron, this is not the case. The figures
supplied by The Iron Age for the output
for the first seven months of this year
and the corresponding period of the two
previous years are as follows:
1918. 81 ,423, $50 tons
1917............. 22,412,330 tons
1916. % ,634,966 tons
Pig iron is regarded as our best bust
ness barometer, and production so far
Consider what this means. There is an
acute shortage Of steel for ships-so
great shortage for steel in other direc-
tions that the government has now an
nounced that after January l the i'm
mense automobile factories of the coun-
try can turn out no more passenger cars.
There is relatively an iron and steel
famine, and in the face of this produc-
ton is declining.
When we entered the war there was a
runaway market in iron and steel. Pig
iron rose for a little while to S55 a ton.
In 1914 it had been below SIS ton. It
is absurd to suggest that the limit of pig
iron production has ever been reached.
Out of the thirtY-fve million wage
workers of the country the iron industry
does not employ more than or per
cent. The automobile industry alone
probably employs almost as many. Pro-
duction from 1914 to 1917 increased by
more than half. There is no serious rea
son why it should not have gone or ris-
ing save one. The incentive to speed up
the mills, to pay higher and higher
wages and to enlarge plants has been in
adequate. The incentive is the price. A
price high enough to stimulate produc-
ton to the utmost leads in cases to very
high profits, which stimulate the outcry
against profteering, which moves the
Federal Trade Commission to attack the
system of things, and so on and on in a
circle.
