More Money Needed.
4. The British are weakened by the
fact that in this total war" they must
not only supply the funds for war, but
do 1t when their own sources of funds
the fountainheads of their wealth-are
under fire.
If they cannot keep their country run
ming, doing its work, making its profits,
they are sunk. To keep it running, they
may have to find the money not only
for armies and materiel, but for the
replacement of ruined stocks, of wrecked
Offices, Of exporting factories, non-mili-
tary machinery, even homes of workers.
Bankers told me even before the war
started that they did not know how it
was to be done. They also did not know
how they could avoid doing It,
S. Perhaps the eliminating weakness in
the British position lies in the unpopu-
larity Of the English. They have had
hosts Of friends" when that friendship
served the other fellow. but, though
have travelled all over Europe, know of
no. people which loves the English for
themselves. They have been too long in
great power internationally and too nom
chalantly complacent about 1t to be
esteemed warmly.
America Scarcely More Popular.
(America, to be sure, is scarcely more
popular among the peoples of the old
world. That is result of being powerful.
But America gains some friendliness
from the fact that each people claims to
have a part in the American amalgam
and thus q direct personal interest In
this country. England has not even
that.)
The basic situation cannot produce
much comfort for those who want to be
told that Britain will survive and that
hers will be victory in the end. It is be-
cause the future is so dark that the
British get q lift out of such things as
the blows at the italian Navy, the sue
cesses Of the Greeks, each little indica-
ton that some new group may help her
In the fight.
Those in America who wish Britain
well seek no more avidly in the news
from London for indications that the
tide Is turning than the British seek
in the news from America for indica-
tions that succor viii come before the
creeping paralysis induced by lombard
ment and the shrinking purse strings of
the nation have reached the strangula-
ton point.

exchange it for the goods service from other
persons energy. But troubles arise when money

Because there are too many persons in thrall to
