U, S,PROSPEROUS Both in Regard to Natural Resources and Annual Income—Credit Good. THE PER CAPITA SUM Os 23c to Pay Off the Na- > tional Debt—Lowest in ° the World. t. American citizens, generally speakI 1 ing, are cognizant of the fact that i every country's strength in resources l (developed, in the process ot devel- > opment, and potential) far surpasses . .hat of any other nation. Compara- . tively few of them, however, have studied or analyzed this country’s en- - viable position among the nations of I the world. In these momentous times when "billions" seem to have crowded ’‘millions” into the back- ' ground in national and international > negotiations, the United States faces the common foe with a conservativer ly estimated wealth of $250,000,000,i 000 and an annual income of $50,000,000.000 to back up the fight for the freedom and liberty of the world. Uncle Sam makes the best debtor in the world. He is in a position to ' borrow money for he possesses the greatest assets and. despite the heavy drains of war, the smallest relative debt. His credit will not be injured by the addition of a few billions to the debit column. Wisdom and common business prudence prompt him to practice econonly in order to more conveniently carry the extra burden resulting from the war. .MALE HELP WAN TED.

| but hi.. houlJ.'i arc so itrong that k Im enn hear it much more easily than ' any of the allies or enemies in the j great <<>ntllct jietwoen democracy and autocracy. il When the war began in 1914 the 1 per capita sum required to pay the interest on the public debt of the I’tilted States, was only 23 cents. This means that less than a quarter of a dollar from every man. woman | and child in the. great family fold would square the yearly Interest hill. While the United States had a per _ capita sum of only 23 cents to pay on the public debt, New Zealand exacted a per capita sum of $13.78; Uruguay, $7.25: Frun,'e. $5.48; Portugal. $5.15; Argentine. $4.72; Spain, $4.01; the Union of South Africa, Hungary, Bulgaria. Egypt, Germany ! ‘ (as regards the individual German 1 States), Greece, Holland. Roumania, * and England, individually, between $2 and $3. ’ Before the war began. British eonsols generally were considered the ’ world’s premier investment security, notwithstanding that for a long time f they had been selling at a discount. 1 ho per capita interest obligation of ! the British public approached $2.3.8. ’ or ten times that of the American 1 public. In such an obligation, with 1 such a load of interest to pay on the ‘ public debt, regularly found a broad ' and stable investment market, and ’ were held by thousands of frugal ’ and conservative people, how much more favor should Liberty Loan bonds of the United States find, when there is such a relatively small interest-bearing debt ahead of them? 4>_ I XOTK'K OF < OMMISSIOYEKs- SALE OF HEAL ESTATE.

FOR DEMOCRACY y /And What it ('an he at Its ’’ Best is What We’re Fighting for—One Way r n ! i TO ADVANCE IT i 1— And That is hy Developing it —We Are Fighting Against Autocracy(By William English Walling.) 'i Washington, I). C., Nov. 22—(8pe- ’ rial to the Daily Democrat) — iWe are fighting for America and against Germany. Hut even military , autocracy does not dare to defend massacres on the mere ground of na- , tional egotism. The German ruling class-organized its vast propaganda solely to convince the world, including the Germans, that it is fighting for principle. And the considerable development of that propaganda is chiefly due to its positive elemen s. The Germans tell us they are fighting the spread kultur, scientific efficiency and organization, state socialism. We are fighting against the effort of autocracy to spread at the expense of democracy. We are fighting to prevent militarism from committing sue- ( aggression. We are fighting against war, against the return ot ilarbarism. What are we fighting for? Why rest with the statement that jwe are fighting against war and | preparations for war? Is it not infinitely more inspiring that we are lighting for that ceaseless iniprovement of the relations between the .iations which can not fail to lead toward the federation ot the world? Why say we are fighting merely to defend democracy? Are we not fighting to spread it? We can not spread it by means of the machine gun? We do not issue an ultimatum to the German people: You must accept democracy. But we do see—and say—that as long as autocracy continue to exist we shall Ire obliged to wage some kind ci warfare against it. But the German people may adopt some deceptive compromise that is neither autocracy nor democracy. 1 his we intend to prevent, but we can prevent it only by demonstrating to the Germans and to all the world that democracy is superior in war, in dyilomacy, iu industrial technique and organization, in the handling of racial and other minorities; that we lead tn educating ourselves as to the issues of war, in the formulation of just terms of peace, and in willingness to sacrifice the smaller for the larger good. We are fighting to demonstrate the 'superiority of-democracy. But what democracy has given us -chiefly so far has been individual opportunity. In the lack of national organization this opportunity has been little utilized tor the national welfare. I We are fighting to develop a superiority where Germany has thrown down the challenge. We have to beat her in her chosen field, the development of industrial technique under the leadership of government. We shall not soon excel her as to thoroughness I which means long preparation and often coercion or subordination of the individual. But we .shall excel in the far more important matter of bringing forth individual initiative. And ur national organization—in proportion as we build superior because so many individuals in all ranks—too much not being demanded of them — will give more than is demanded. Again the Germans have produced an efficient government. But they have produced it by physical, mental, and moral compulsion of the individual. The state is everything, it shapes the very thoughts and aspirations of the people. As a result the state is worshipper, not only for what it is but also for what it is not. The state can do no wrong—at least abroad. At home it may not ba omniscient, but it is inconceivable, revolution an outworn theory. How can the great bulk ! of citizens develop either courage or , intelligence in their attitude to such a state? The democratic governments of the ! world also have been assuming vast industrial functions since the war—and it is possible that some of these functions will be permanent. But these activities are not basedonany state doctrine taught the people by governments, when the people have felt a need, the state has been their , servant to supply that need—whereas 1 in Germany it is the people that are the servants of the state. In America it is our state, and we are fighting to ‘ show not only that It can do everything that the German state has done, but can succeed where autocracy has » failed. ? ————l .
