THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, NOV. i1, 1936 WORLD WAR IS TOCOSTU. 8. | 100 BILLIONS .. What is the cost of war? Not in Ruman misery, but in cold cash? Henry Morton Robinson, in an arti- cle in the Rotarian Magazine, pre- dicts that by the time the last Lib- | erty Bond is retired, the last bonus certificate c: veteran buried, and the last pra-/ mium paid, the World War will have cost the citizens of the United States a total of 100 billion dol “At the close of the fiscal year 1920,” he writes, “the Treasury De- Bartment of the United State obtrusively announced that Ameri- cajs participation in the World ! War had cost 27 billion dollass, Staggering as the figure was, no one! believed it to be the ‘total cost’ of that great struggle to American tax- payers. And it wasn't. At the end of June, 1936, the direct cash cost of the World War to.the United States—not including such indirec! gosts as the War's share in causing the depression—was 45 billion dove- lars. “Next year this figure will have to be revised upward again by one billion, and in 1938 still another bil- ¥ lion will be added. A half century from now Americans will still be paying at the rate of a billion uol- lars annually. | “If anyone doubts that is sponsible for the large national debt,” he continues him scan the following figures: 1916, the public debt of the Uni States was one and one-fourth bil- lion; the per capita interest charge on this modest indebtedness was 22 cents. Two years of war shot this debt up to 26 bil most terrifyin \with a note to the postmaster ed, the last disabled d | Mr Lifg's Like That | AYTON, O., Nov. 11.—Speaking | of absent-mindedness, Postmaster | U\.lnn' N.
