GERMANY CAN PAY

Many financiers and writer's on eco
nomic questions are undertaking to
prove that Germany could not pay the
cost Of the war to the allies, and base
their statements On Germany's sup
posed income prior TO the war, entire
Iy ignoring the fact that under modern
inventions and modern machinery the
world progresses at such stupendous
rate of wealth increase that it would
be utter folly to base any argument on
Germany's inability in the future to
meet indemnities by Germany's in
come prior to the war. When the civil
war ended, the south was bankrupt
far beyond anything which Germany
has known or is likely ever to know
For the four years Of war, and the ten
years of reconstruction, Or fourteen
years as whole, the south was
drained physically and financially to
an extent infinitely beyond anything
seen in Germany.
Despite this unprecedented condi-
ton the south in 1915, Or at the end
of fifty years after the close of the
war, had larger output in manufac-
lures and in agriculture than the en-
tire country had in 1880, though the
population in 1880 exceeded the popu-
lation of the south in 1915 by 17,000,-
600.
In this fact may be found a sugges-
ton as to why Germany could within
the next fifty years easily pay an in
demnity far beyond anything which So
called political economists and finan-
ciers who do not look to the future
would think possible at present. The
entire cost Of the war could be placed
upon Germany, and Germany could in
time pay it, and the best moral inter-
ests of civilization demand that this
shall be done.-From the Manufacture
ers' Record.

THE RETURNING SOLDIERS

Some of the returning soldiers find
their jobs gone. In some cases their
places have been filled and in others
the firm has been forced to close. The
mills and factories have done the best
they could to keep the wheels turn
ing, but unsettled conditions have
made progress impossible. At this
season of the year building operations
are at a standstill and farm work can
not be done. Not only the returning
soldiers, but many others are temper
arily idle. This is one of the results
of the world war. Business has a
tendency to sag and the future is un-
certain, especially in some lines.
Other industries are running at full
speed and will continue to do so with
out interruption, it is believed. The
only thing that can be done is for
everyone to assist the soldiers and
others to obtain employment and in
that way bridge the present. Evident
ly the biggest job of the present is to
obtain jobs for the soldiers and others.
