The Lamp of Leadership.
From Curb News, New York.

Time-whimsical, inexorable-passcs swiftly. The little town of
Sur, on the Syrian coast. is all that remains of Tyre. The shifting
sands have filled the great harbor. The crown of Tyre was worn
successfully during the centuries Of the westward march Of progress
by the 1,hosnieian stepchild, Carthage; then by Italy; next by Ham
burg and the leagued German cities OF the Baltic: fourth by pOrtu-
gal; fifth by Spain, the discoyerer of the new world; sixth by Hl-
land. and seventh. until 1914, by Great Britain.
Previous to 1914 we owed England, then the richest nation IN tho
globe, o much money that the annual interest was $500 600 OOO. Nov
England s debt to us requires her to pay us $25OO0OOOO a year inter
est. Before the war We owed about s.. OOO,OOO,00 abroad. Today
the situation is more than reversed--the net indebtedness of Eurone
to the tnited States government and private investors in this coun.
try is SloOOOOOOO0O. The annual interest payments which will pour
into this country on such a debt will amount to at least $5O0,0Oo!OOO!
We possess one-third or more of the total wealth Of the earth Tho
United States is now the richest nation and the financial center of the
world.
Before the war England was the greatest ship owning country.
Our slipbunding schedule when carried through 1920 will give ~
twicesas many ships as England! The worlds cry today is for raw
materials-raw materials-raw materials! In this connection, and
now at the dawn of the greatest era in our history, every citizen of
the United States should get these big facts indelibly in mind:
We represent but 6 per cent OF the worlds population and own
but Z per cent of the worlds land. But we must produce 20 per cent
of the worlds copper, sc per cent of the oil, Is per cent Of the corn.
so per cent of the cotton, 33 per cent of the silver, SO per cent of the
coal, 40 per cent of the iron and steel, 20 per cent Of the gold. SIS ner
cent of the motor cars, % per cent Of the wheat. and we operater do
per cent Of the worlds railroads.
Thus for 5000 years the lamp of leadership has been seized by
nation after nation, until now, wearied and outstripped, Europe hands
it Willingly, but unasked, to the young, strong, free land of the vest
to this, thesmost wonderful endowed nation. of all history!
