Finally high blood pressure, or

have been offered in the past. DR..
Grille agreed with DIR. Marvin that
there is still much work to be donee
but said he believed the basic prob

RY InHN 4. FLYNN

1915 BY JOHN u. FLYNN
Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Incl
Twenty years ago today the
Great War came to an end and the
Great Peace began.
Modern war is partly struggle
between armies and partly a strug-
gle between economic systems. 1t
IS, indeed, q vast cataclysm in
which nations hurl their economic
systems at each other. The result, Of
course, is usually immense wreck
age for both victor and vanquished.
You cannot turn men loose upon
the land to destroy So billions in
property without producing ter
rible after-effect. You cannot use
up 1870 billions of dollars in an orgy
of destruction without being aware
of the resulting fatigue for years.
The serious economic part of
the war is not that the war
ring nations spent $50 billions, but
that they borrowed a large part
Of this and still owe it. Every
nation ended the war utterly crush
GU tllC Ou1uCA1 Va ACbUs
Germany, Austria, Hungary, Rus
STA, italy and finally France threw
off all or nearly all of that war debt
by initiation and devaluation. But
the vanquished nations still were
trapped under the load of the repair
atoms. And these reparation debts
were worse than the internal debts
they had wiped out by initiation, be-
cause they tended to drain the
countries of their monetary reserves.
England ended with a debt of
"a billions and the United States
with one of 20 billions. England
paid off two billions and the United
States six. So that Great Britain
still staggers under a war debt Of
80 billions and the United States
under a war debt of is billions.
But since the war we have paid
out nearly another sixteen bill
lions in interest and veterans
pensions and bonuses because Of
the war. And we have scarcely
begun our pension career. Still
untold billions must be found.
The great injury done to us by
the war, however, is of a diff
ferent sort. The war produced an
initiation. It introduced into our
system billions of dollars of ex-
penditures for war preparations
and this resulted in huge profits
and high wages and high prices.
That was initiation.
10 the people this looked like
prosperity. But when the war
was over the thing which had
supported this inf1ation-war bor-
rowing and war industries - came
to an end.
The people enormously thought
that they could preserve this
prosperity by preserving the prices
and the wages. The farmers had
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-11

velopment Of new devices for
credit, made 1t possible in Amer
lea to substitute a peace time In
flation for the war time initiation.
The eagerness of all to have the
fruits of this, to hold up prices
and wages and profits, blinded us all
to the phenomenon we invoked. And
Of course this initiation came to an
end, as all mutations must. It began
to crack in 1928. It sank down in a
great disaster in the fall of 1929.
Economic laws were relentless
They resumed their victory. Since
then the politicians, encouraged by
labor, farmers and business, have
been carrying on the war-fighting
to continue a price and profit and
wage level which is possible only IN
an initiation, but trying to do 1t
without the initiation. It cannot be
done.
Thus for twenty years this war
has ragged. And what we now see is,
in this respect, the backwash of the
war. This is why some men refer to
1888 as the oath year of the Great
War.
