Many other : TV Future Filled With Hope for Men of Courage," Says Irving T. Bush. Shelves of the World's Shops Are Empty: There ' Is Opportunity for Those -Who Are Willing to ' Work." Irving T. Bush of New York, BbTio as a boy in hit teem a quarter kf a century ago, inherited two hun'dred acres of vacant land upon ahich he built the giant Bush Terminal properties, has just returned from Europe where he ivas extending his export plans. Mr. Bush, noted as a man of broad vision, is mot pessimistic over the future. As an earnest of his belief in Europe's progress, Mr. Bush has selected a site for a Bush Terminal International Sales Building in London and ene in Paris. These, like the huge thirty-story Bush Terminal Sales Building in Times' Square, New York, will be international market places for the buyers of the world. Editorial note. By HIVING T. BUSH.

The life blood of war sacrifice has just ceased to flow, and the blood of industrial national life was not yet in circulation. I resolved to et away from it all and think it out by myself, before I formed an opinion upon which to base my own judgment of the .'uture of Europe. Today 1 see a new ' ision. I do net forpet tha difficulties vhich are all too apparent, but I am better able to measure their impoi-ance and I see a world which has been desperately ill entering the first stages of convalescence and the peoples of those countries which have borne the brunt of the great struggle preparing to face a future beset with many difficulties, but fiUed with hope for men of courage and determination. I cannot see with the eyes of those pessimists who do not discern the silver lining to the clouds of Europe and I wcni?r if some of the leaders of thought from this country, who have painted so dark a pictuns of the future of Europe, had waited for a clearer vision from the home shores, whether they too woujd not have seen a brighter future. Before the war, there lay festering in the world's body some of its vital organs inflamed by a military autocracy which fed upon the masses of tbe people which are its life blood.

4 j, This appendix has been cut out. The operation has been painful and costly, but as the nations of Europe go back to work the outstanding fact is that tha operation has been successful and the patient is beginning to recover. The life bloor' of a new hope is circulating and the masses of God's people face a future in many lands of greater hope. Convalescence may be slow, for the world has been very ill, but the period of reconstruction begins with empty shelves and a demand from every quarter for the Product of the world's industryThe repairing of the ravages cf war means opportunity for labor and the people who hav2 fed and clothed themselves and their armies in the field, during a death struggle lasting more than four years, will find the coal, the food and the transportation to take care of their immediate peace needs. They will be able to repair and extend the machinery of trade to meet the demands of peace. If we were to return to pre-war conditions over Tiight, the battered machinery of Europe could not function, but the return will be gradual. During the reconstruction cf industry and the rebuilding of transportation, there must be shortage and congestion, but the facilities which have borne all the burdens of war will not pass out ot existence and will be able to take

"Coal may not be rlentiful and there will be less food than Europe would like, but there will be available for the uses of peace an enormous quantity of coal which has been burned by engines of war, and many acres ana many nands which have been absorbed in war work will produce, even at first, some measure cf additional food. The transportation which has carried munitions and supplies to the armies, and at the same time served the civil population at home, will be devoted solely to home requirements. It may oe inadequate, but it is there for use. and can be and will be repaired and expanded. We have heard a great deal of the wastage of war and it has been beyond description. It ha seemed so ever present and uncalled for that we have sometimes forgotten that there is a wastage of peae. nd that much of that wastage hai been savetf during the war period. Europe ha tightened its belt, has patched -ts clothing and has gone without many luxuries and comforts which reemej essential before the war.

3C arvdr-fu I Carvels' of ing the economic conditions of the ornrlH It i nl-r truf that a preat Eart of ths war expenditures has een circulated among the peoples of the countries at war through higher wages, and much of this has been saved because it could not be spent. Money would not buy additional food and luxuries upon which it might have been spent could not be secured at any price. The nations of Europe are burdened with great national debt-., but in some countries the masses of the people have a reserve buying power which did not exist before the war. There are, of course, many exceptions to this rule, but the people of England and France have more money than formerly, even though it? buying power may not be as great. We also sometimes forget the fact that as wages are increased in a nation, the consuming power of that nation inrreases. for the increased wages quickly find their way into circulation through the purchase of added comforts and luxuries. I recently read a very gloomy description of the possible result of the increased wages in England and the probability of England's inability to compete in i the export markets of the world. l will not attempt to argue this contention, for the result oVnpridr so largely on conditions which cannct be clearly foreseen at the present time. I have great confidence in the sturdy common sense of the British people and the man who prophesies that their own action will be the means of cutting . off their markets is likely to be without honor as a prophet in any country. If the wages in England remain at a higher level than before the war, as I am sure every thinking man must believe they will, for it is undeniably true, that English labor has been desperately unpaid for generations, the result of the higher wages will be an increased demand among British subjects for the products of their labor which will decrease the necessity for an export market. Th3 wages many industries in England have advanced several pounds a week. Of course all of the population of the British Isles is not engaged in productive puri-aits, but if the average increase in wage should amount to only $2.00 per wek per head, forallofthe popalattov jgf.

JifPIll llIJI.I,KWI OF XXJ. Ir&rtjZo Jn, fhscya. don 45,000,000 people who live in the British Isles, there will still be an increase in spending power of $00,000,000,000 per week. I give there figures merely as an illustration. I believe the wage increase will be vastly more than this amount. Much of this will go in the higher cost of food anl living necessities, but if the labor of England is made more prosperous, they will consume great quantities of manufactured articles which have heretofore becv. forced to find a market in foreign lands, because the labor of England was so poorly paid as to be unable to buy. in so large a measure as rhould be the case, the products of tUeir own workshops. One of the reasons for the great buying power of the American people has been the fact that our labor has been paid sufficient wages to enable it to purchare more than the necessities cf life. As an illustration, I am told that one person in five in America owns an automobile, and in England one person in five hundred. As a basis for deductions, this argument cannot of course be maintained, for during the last five years the people of America have been increasing the number of their motor cars enormously, while Great Britain has been without power to manufacture or import motor cars, and with a strict regulation of gasoline. The fact remains, however, that a prosperous and wellpaid people will consume a much greater percentage of the products of their own factories than a people working for low wages. Nearly all of the observations which I have made arc generalities, and do not apply to all of the nations of Europe, for the ps-ychologv of each is different. If one thinks of the economic structure of France, the first, thought is of the thrift of the French people. The care with which they utilize what is treated as waste in' this country results in a saving nearly sufficient to support the French population. The recovery , of France will be largely bared upon . the thrift of the French people. In Germany the saving of the money which has been spent by past generations upon its war machine will go a long way towards paying the war debt which must be met by the next generation of Germans. Ths patient is recovering and it is a time for emupge and hopefulness. The past

ere rr.ee .- LlcndZ 3cor9 is behind us. We know the worst and for the first time in five years the world can begin to make its plans without reckoning with war. There will be labor difficulties and capital will have trouUes of its own. Keform will be discussed on all sides and we all know that there were many conditions before the war which were sadly in need of reform. Out of it all, progress is being made every day. It is difficult to recognize it clay by day, but as we look back :t will loom large. Labor needr a few headaches to understand capital, and capital a few backaches to understand labor, while reform needs to get its hair cut to understand ei her. Out of it all a better civilization and a better understanding among the people of the world will come. The relative importance of nations will change as they have changed many times in the past. Nations grow old pnd lose their vitality just as do individual?, and the young nation of today will in turn be outstripped by some child of the future. The fact remains that the war is over, the shelves of the world's shops are empty and there is opportunity for those who are willing to work. I repeat, it is a time for courage and nope and optimism and it is good to be an American, for this is America's day. We have been struggling through our boyhood, and have reached man's estate. Today America takes her place in the world, full of power and energy, and able to assume its share in the burdens of the family of nations. "It Is Good to Be an American, for This Is America's Day' "The shelves of the world's shops are empty. There is opportunity for those who are willing to work. It is a time for courage and hope and optimism, and it is good to be an American for this is America's day. We have been struggling through our boyhood, and have reached man's estate.
