over iG billions Of dollars per an

swollen. With expenses vastly in
creased. The industry and the loss of
Inc productive Dowrr Of more than
10 millions killed OF disabled by
War-a loss of mG"c than five bill
lions Of dollars Il year. Thus it will
appear t,Iat on account of the in
creased interest charges on the ma
tlonal debts and the decreased man
power, the nations face loss of
nearly 20 billions Of dollars a wear,
not including the increased eXDen-
ditlres to care for the disabled and
to meet other items in huge nation

be $50 billions of dollars if propor-
tlonatcly as large as the debt OF
