that practically gave her the corlner- cial dominance of the world previous to the war. As compared with England, France or Italy, her workmen are work ing far better and are directed by exec utives who are, in every way, superior to those of the allies. Germany is working gut her problems with a defin- ite purpose and along we'll thought out lines. This, unfortunately, none of the other fighting nations is doing.
 Unless the United States promptly realizes her obligations as the biz brother of the world-and we have all ready lost six months of most precious time-Germany will have completed within 30 or 40 years the subjugation Of Russia. Moreover, Germany will strengthen her position by an alliance with Japan which will make her almost iiHincible. America must compete alone for supremacy against these united powers. because the rest of the allies are today so far in their deca- dence that it will be hard to get more than a corporal's guard out of any of them. unless they are revitalized. when the time for the great struggle arrives.

Our con- suming and producing capacity, there fore, on the basis of European nation als, is equal to a population of 5o0.000,- o00. This ration holds with all Euro pean nations except Germany.
