WHAT CAN WE LEARN from the Rus
slams? Why did they do so magniticently IN
this war after coIapSlng IN the last one they
were fighting the same enemy. They them
selves were the same people. They had the
same economic system and political party
when they signed the abicct surrender o'
1918 and the glorious victory Of 1913.
One thing. and one thing only. had mad"
the vast difference in the meantime they
had acquired machines and had used them
we'll 1t is true cyeryWhrre--ln every part
of the Word-prospelTty and security are
in direct proportion to the number of mod
crn machines and the wise efficiency Of th"ii
use Modern machines help a man produce
more. The more he produces, TN" more there
is for him, and, in time of war, for his ro'In
try
If everyone in the world produced more
and more. with greater and greater efficiency
the cost of everything would go down; more
and more people could enjoy the things pro
duccd; markets would expand all over th
world and the standard of living would g
up: more and more Jobs would be proVd"'
with greater and greater security.
It's very possible that cveryOn" would b
so busy, prosperous and secure that no ON
would think OF war, nor want It bocauH"
would upset his progress. Hard, cffricn
work is the only thing that ever got and kcp
ANYTHING for anyone. 1t is what made thi
country great. IT is what won the war. Am
it is the only thing that can possibly win In
peace +. y y individual American.
