BUSINESS MEN CAN PLAY BJG WAR PART

H. H. Merrick Tells Credit Men How .Vrerican Dollars 7.'ili Win.

"If Germany is defeated in the worM war, the credit will helon?, half to the armed strength of tb United S'tates and her allies, and h.ilf to the bvsiness men of the United States." H. H. Merrick, president of the Chicago Association of Credit Men. the National Security league, treasurer of the Chicago Chamber of Commerce, and one tf the committer, of five consulted by the secretary of the treasury in regard to the new war tax, made the statement in an address'on "The Business Man In Relation to the War," at a banquet of the South Fend association of credit men Thursday niht in the Rotary room of the Oliver hotel. Merrick, the genuine bis: business man, in close t"uch with the workings of every important financial and industrial movement in the coun try, pave South Rend the first authentic report on the part American millions are playing in the preat strudle now rainpr across the Atlantic. Help 11 Nick 'f Time. "Had our government delayed more than days after April 15 in declaring war, Germany would now be dictating; peace terms to its enemies," declared Mr. Merrick. "France was stripped bare, Russia in dire disorder, and Kngiand htarvintr. Our money loans, coming together with a promise of armed aid and the moral support of the American people, put new backbone into the allied soldiers. "Our support could not have been so immediate." he continued, "except for the existence of the federal reserve system. The federal reserve act has done more toward winning this war than any legislation enacted in any country in the world. I'usines men hold nine-tenths of tn responsibility for the passage of tais act. Americans IleUI in New Light. "Until our entrance into the war Americans were the butt of much ridicule by the European peoples on account of their 'eternal chase after the almichty dollar.' Rut since that time our business men have proved to the world that they have higher

ideals than the pursuit of wealth. Men like Hoover, whose entire income has been cut off because of the trouble in Russia, and who is giving his life and eerices to the nation, are example of these patriots. "The commission to Russia, whos work has done more toward endin? the war than even the ."n.er.o troops we are .: send to France, is composed of business men whoe services are given free, and who are endangering their lives as much as the soldiers in the trenches. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago has given up his business, and travels from Chicago to New York once every week discharging his work for the United States government." Draft In Safe Hand. The speaker asserted that the grafters and politicians into whose hands the work of draft registration was at first entrusted had been routed out by the business associations of the country, so that now the task is being accomplished irresponsible men. He emphasized the phenomenal success of the Red Cross and Liberty bond campaign, but said that many people were making the big mistake of thinking that after they subscribe their "bit" has been done. "Too many people think the business man's only power is in the checkbook," was his assertion. "The men and women doing Red Cross and Y. M. C A. work are only human, and cannot be expected to accomplish great thin-s unless personal interest is taken in their undertakings. The government itself needs the sympathetic cooperation of the people more than the money. All Iiuines at Capital. "The business administration at Washington new, with all its defects, is the bst the country has ever known. The most stupendous growth of business that has ever occurred will follow the establishment of fixed prices for foodstuffs under the food dictatorship. This ery system, under the name of the Cartel system, made Germany the greatest business nation in the world. If the United States fixes a common sales agent and a common price to meet thos of Kncland and Germany In foreign markets, our commercial supremacy is assured." Paul A. Rumpf presided at the

meeting. It was decided by the j

outh Hend association to join the national bureau of credit associations, whose headquarters are in St. Louis. A. 26 percent increase in membership was reported by the membership committee.
