Glimpses World Collapse.
Bolshevism is another state that
takes on a different aspect when
viewed by Sir George.
Russia used to be Germany's rich
est market" he said today. But
Hermany used it to destroy Russia's
national power and thus herself COM
mtted suicide. For lack of a mar
ket today Germany cannot sell her
goods. For lack OF sales she cannot
pay her debts. For lack of money
wherewith to pay her debts she may
collapse.
"And German collapse would
mean a world collapse. You listen
unheeding to such big-sounding
words, but you will prick UP your
ears when ] add that a world COL
lapse might mean an American finan-
cial panic.
German Children Stunted.
1.-THE blockade of Germany belped
win the war. 1t also retarded the
growth Of German children. Since
1916 German children have not grown.
That is Germany's problem, you say.
Yes. but can retarded children grow
into strong workers. And il they
cannot, then. who will do the work
necessary for the repayment of Ger
many's manifold debts to civiliza-
tion?"
Sir George says the world waits to
see the effect of Americas new tariff.
AS free trader, of course he thinks
1t is barrier against world trade
recovery.
World trade should be helped and
governments should let down. not
build up. the bars he said. Trade
means human happiness quite as
much as human prosperity. Your
new immigration laws would sug-
gest to young fellows that there is
no room for children, so why get
married? AS a matter Of fact there
is plenty of room in the world for
all of the peoples of the world Take
down the barriers. don't put them up.

men should be, as ] have said, eco
nomists rather than politicians"
