THE BUSINESS OF WAR

Perhaps the American people will never fully realize that they are at war until they understand that is a business, and in this case their supreme business. The statement of Secretary McAdoo made public yesterday ought to do something to enlighten and awaken them. There is no need, as yet, for people to pinch themselves, but there is every reason why production and consumption should be adjusted to war demands. The readjustment will come gradually, and there heed be no shock to business, for there wjll be use for every fibre of our raw material and for all our labor. The wool, for Instance, that has been bought for private use, will be needed more and' more for socks, sweaters, hel-

mets, clothing and blankets for, the soldiers. It is clear, therefore, that men engaged in making woolen articles for private consumption will by degrees be transferred to work for government and army needs. We use these cases merely as illustrations. The people have already recognized the principle in connection with wheatless and meatless days. There was plenty of meat and wheat for all in the United States, but there was not enough to feed them and to support the armies in France, and relieve the needs of the civilian population of the nations associated with us in this war. Our primary business is to meet these demands, and to buy Liberty bonds "and Thrift stamps. That there will have to be many new adjustments is perfectly clear. The question is one of making them as easily as possible, and with the least amount of disturbance and friction. “So far as I have been able to observe,” says the secretary of the treasury, “the American people are not sufficiently aroused to the necessity of economy and of saving in this really serious time, not only in the life of America but of the nations of the world.”

This is in no way surprising. There is more money to spend than there ever was before. More than that, it is widely distributed. People who enjoyed few luxuries a few years ago are now able to indulge in them. All that is suggested now is that when our people think of business they should get it in their minds that war is our great business. There is no danger that there will not be enough work and wages for all. Even after retrenchment has-been carried to its limit, the volume of business will be larger than it is now, for the demands of the government will steadily increase. We should think of the government as the greatest buyer in the market and should gladly give it the right of way. Foreigners visiting the United States have been surprised and gratified at the extent of the conservation that has already been put into effect, small as it seems to be to some of us. The people have done well. The industrial as well as the military forces of the nation must be put into the war in the most effective way. There is no patriotic American who would not give up the use of meat and wheat altogether if he knew that the soldiers in Fjan'ce needed these articles of food. The principle is clear. The

question is as to its application.— Indianapolis News.

OUR EXPANDING NEEDS

The need for saving and economy by our people, the need for the most liberal and loyal financial support of our government by the people and incidentally the need tor some such financial (machinery as that, sought to be secured by the war finance corporation bill, now pending in congress are not only verified by the extraordinary demands made upon the United States to meet its war needs and the war needs of its allies, but are also emphasized by the growth of our own domestic trade. The domestic trade of the United States for 1917 was estimated by Prof. Anderson of Harvard university at $64,000,000,000; in 1913 it was but $30,000,000,000. The strain on the financial machinery and resources of the country to take care of this tremendous increase in our domestic trade as well as meet the extraordinary demands of the war can not be appreciated by all. The secretary’ of the treasury, in drafting the war finance bill gave thorough study to the measures adopted by our allies in Europe and to the conditions in this country, and it is believed that the proposed bill is a wise and conservative war measure to give relief during the period of the war. It is primarily a measure to enable the financial institutions of the country to furnish necessary credits to industries and enterprises essential to the prosecution of the war,- and Secretary McAdoo is of the opinion that the mere existence of the machinery established by this act would be so effective in maintaining confidence that the actual exercise of the power would seldom be needed.

A BADGE OF HONOR

A Liberty loan button is a badge of honor. Rightfully obtained it marks the wearer as one who has performed a distinct, definite service to the country. Not all can fight; not all can work directly for the government; but in buying a Liberty loan bond, or a War Savings stamp, every American renders some service to the nation. It has been put within the reach and power of every citizen to aid the United States financially; it is a poor American who withholds support from the government, from our soldiers and sailors fronting death on battlefields and oceans. Iron crosses to German soldiers, and diamond orders exchanged be T tween Turkish and German sovereigns may be but the honors of atrocity. But a (Liberty loan button, simple as it is, signifies a patriotic duty done and is an insignia of honor.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

I took an ax and killed nine rats, and left them in their gore; and*- then I borrowed Johnson’s cats, and killed a dozen more. And thus I did more lasting good, the kind of good that pays, than 1 could do by shunning food on meatless, wheatless days. We gladly do without our steak, and our accustomed bread; we’re trusting that our* course will make the kaiser soak his head. But what’s the use, if we allow the rats to be alive? The grain they eat each day, 1 swow, would make an army thrive. So let us have a ratless day, a day on which we’ll rise, and chase the beastly rats and slay until the last one dies. Then we’ll conserve to beat the band, and feed the largest host, and every man in this broad land may have his loaf and roast. No meatless days or wheatless days we’ll need to win the war, if we get busy and erase the pest all men abhor. While men are tightening their belts, and knowing hunger’s pain, the nasty rats, doggone their pelts, are eating up our grain. And so I take down from its perch the sword of Bunker Hill, and through the house for rats I search, and kill, and kill, and kill.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

One who subscribes for a Liberty bond and gets credit as a patriot for doing so is hot acting patriotically if he immediately sells that bond, that is, unless he imperatively needs the money, says Secretary McAdoo. It is not The mere subscription that helps'" the government, it is the actual loan; shifting the bond to some one else does not help. The same objection lies to exchanging Liberty loan bonds in trade. Merchants offering to take Liberty loan bonds in exchange for merchandise are doubtless actuated by patriotic motives,, but such transactions tend to defeat a primary object of the bond sale, the encouraging of thrift and the dis-

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

couraging of expenditures. Bonds so exchanged are in most cases immediately sold on the open market which tend to depress the market price and affects adversely the sales of future issues. Secretary McAdoo expressly states that there is no desire on the part of the government to prevent or 1 interfere with legitimate trading, in good faith, in Liberty bonds. It is one of the great objects of the treasury department to have these bonds held as permanent investments by the people and paid for out of savings, thus at once providing funds for the government and conserving labor and material. There are the soundest reasons for holding Liberty bonds, Their quotations under par on the stock exchange means a* loss only to those who sell. The financial history of the United States shows that in times of peace all its bonds have gone above paT, some as high as 139. The tremendous growth of our resources and of our trade, our domestic _ trade alone having increased from $30,000,000,000 „to $04,000,000,000 in the last four years, warrants the belief that our government bonds are the soundest investments in the world and with the restoration of peace conditions will command a handsome premium in the market.

Ginseng, the greatest product of Korea, is unrivaled throughout the world for its quality. Lately, however, owing to the spread of a disease peculiar to ginseng and from robberies, the industry was brought to a standstill. Methods likely to give good results are being adopted, however. The area under cultivation is about 1,381,748 kan. The annual amount of medicinal ginseng has grown to 30,000 kin.
