the industry of Belgium, so that no

I went abroad to learn at first hand

to the finances of Europe. I had gone

and more disastrous than mere bank .
ruptcy has happened to a number OF
European nations.
The most profoundly significant thing
that sensed in Europe is the disor d.
ganization and paralysis of industrial
production. The paralysis is not CON
4 fined to the war zone. 1t extends TO
the industries of the neutral countries.
So long as 1t continues there is danger
of revolutionary development and OF
Bolshevi Atendencies. Wherever unrest
develops i 10 bolshevism, that new name
for an oldA disease, anarchy, there is
4 danger of contagion, and the disease is
liable to spread to adjacent territory.
Danger of Revolt Microbe
This makes it necessary to regard
Europe as a unit in any forecast OF
future conditions, for no government is
strongly enough fortified against the in :
roads of this microbe of social contaglon
to permit its future to be regarded as
safe when its neighbors develop this
type of revolution.
