turn to pre-war conditions over

ing the economic conditions of the
world. It is also true that a great
part of the war expenditures has
been circulated among the peoples OF
the countries at war through higher
wages and much of this has been
saved because it could not be spent.
Money would not buy additional food
and Injuries upon which it might
have been spent could not be secured
at any price.
The nations of Europe are burden
ed with great national debts, but in
some countries the masses of the
people have a reserve buying power
which did not exist before the war.
There are, of course, many excep-
lions to this rule, but the people of
England and France have more
money than formerly, ever though
it's buying power may not be as
great. We also sometimes forget
the fact that as wages are increased
in a nation, the consuming power of
that nation increases. for the in
creased wages quickly find their way
into circulation through the pur-
chase of added comforts and luxur-
les.
/ recently read a very gloomy de-
scription of the possible result OF the
increased wages in England and the
probability of England's inability to
compete in the export markets of
the world. II will not attempt to
argue this contention, for the result
denendr so largely on conditions
which cannot be clearly foreseen at
the present time. l have great conf
dence in the sturdy common sense of
the British people and the man who
prophesies that their own action will
be the means of cutting off their
markets is likely to be without honor
as a prophet in any country. IF the
wages in England remain at a higher
level than before the war, as / am
sure every thinking man must be-
lieve they will. for it is undeniably
true, that English labor has been
desperately unpaid for generations,
the result of the higher wages will
be an increased demand among Brit
ish subjects for the products of their
labor which will decrease the neces-
sity for an export market. The
wages il many industries in Eng
land have advanced several pounds a
week. Of course all OF the popula-
ton of the British Isles II not m
gagged in productive pursuits, but If
the average increase in wage should
amount to only $500 per week peg

shores, whether they too would not
have seen a brighter future.

and for TIE first time in five years
the world can begin to make its
plans without reckoning with war.
There will be labor difficulties and
capital will have troubles of its own.
Reform Will be discussed on all sides
and we all know that there were
many conditions before the war
which were sadly in need of reform.
Out of It all, progress is being made
every day. 1t is difficult 20 recognizes
it day by day, but as we look back It
will loom large. Labor needs a few
headaches to understand capital, and

Out of it all a better civilization and
a better understanding among the
people of the world will come. The
relative Importance Of nations will
change as they have changed many
times in the past. Nations grow old
end lose their vitality just as do in
dividuale, and the young nation OF
today will in turn be outstripped by
some child of the future. The fact
remains that the war is over. the
shelves of the worlds shops are
empty and there is opportunity for
those who are willing TO work. ! re-
peat, it is a time for courage and
hope and optimism and it is good to
be an American, for this is Americas
day. We have been struggling
through our boyhood, and have

of power and energy, and able to as

there is slight reflection. except in the
matter OF more cheerful tone. to be
lad Of this IN the weeks reports as
TO current trade and industry; This
az vet partial character Of the coal
settlement and the uncertainty that
stul turks IN the. railroad strike Is
partly responsible for this.
But in many lines the Improvement
bids fair 70 be slow. though perhaps
not so slow as was the growth of the
species of slow business paralysis that
has made its effects increasingly Tis-
lille since the railway strike began.
In this direction. indeed. the tnsta'la-
tion of the system Of coal priorittes
may prove hurtful to some leading In

have suffered most from the fuel
