They are at it again. That is, the doleful chorus are al- ready predicting dire consequences for this country after the close of the war in Europe. They will have it that when peace is declared the foreign governments and manufacturers will be so hungry for markets that they will reduce the cost of labor to a considerable extent and thereby be able to sell their products in this and other countries for less than we can manufacture them. They may, and again they may not. But suppose they do—what of it? Is this nation dependent upon the goods we manufacsture and sell in foreign markets? Far from it. If we never exported another ar- ticle we would continue to live and thrive just the same. In the United States there are over six hundred million acres of un- reserved land waiting for the bite of the plow, and millions upon mil- lions of the land popularly supposed to be under cultivation is only about half utilized. The crying need of this country ".is not greater foreign markets for manufactured goods. It needs mil- lions of men back upon the farms, where they belong and should never have left. It needs a country wide movement for the development of every avail- able acre of land from ocean to ocean. It needs agricultural courses in intensified farming, in the raising of stock, in extracting from the mother earth the splendid sustenance that has lain dormant since the beginning of time. It the doors of the entire world were closed to the United States we would continue to be a great and growing and prosperous country. ‘We have rich and fertile land, and that which sustains life must come from the land. . Practically everything that is nec- essary to our material welfare can be manufactured in this country from raw material that:is produced in this .country. Every ounce of- foodstuffs we re- quire can be grown in this country— enough and to spare. In not.a single material instance are we dependent upon the products of any foreign nation on the face of the. globe. .. True, the closing of many of our factories might reduce the number of millionaires in our country, and might even force some of our gilded % DAILY WAR ANALYSIS ¥| Nenfe—Thanks, your poetry WANTED—Girl for waitress and lady | 110 aeres:intimber, will saw out x (By J.
