NOTE—From time to time, in this space, there will appear an article which we hope will be of interest to our fellow Americans. | This is number cleven of a series. SCHENLEY INTERNATIONAL CORP., NEW YORK Astronomical Figures | L A : 1f you had One Billion Two Hun- dred Million Dollars to spend for the necessities of modern warfare, it would buy — ALL of the following: Oiltorunadestroyeramillionmiles; A million rounds of ammunition for anti-tank guns; Ten thousand pursuit planes; Ten thousand reconnaissance cars; Ten thousand motor trailers; Ten thousand radio receiver sets; Five hundred bombers; A million parachutes; A million bombardier kits; A million steel helmets; A hundred thousand. fragmentalum bombs; A miltion tents; A million field telephones' A million entrenching shovels; A million First Aid kits. Of course, if you were running flw war you would need all of the above, | and you would also need the instru- mentality for raising this amount of money, and a great deal more. Since you and all the rest of us are actually contributing to the astro- aomical sums which make up the total cost of conducting a war such as we are engaged in, it may not be | entirely out of order for us to remind ! you of a reborn industry that is | gratefully playing an importantypart in thewartime economy of our nation. | Wehave told you what One Billion | Two Hundred Million Dollars will buy—in wartime. In peacetime it buys good roads, school buildings, and provides the funds for eleemo- | | synary institutions, hospitals, etc. | That’s a lot of useful money. | OneBillion Two Hundred Million Dollars is the amount of Federal taxation from the sale of alcoholic beverages in the United States and its territories. (Thisis entirely apart local communities derive from the same source, and spend for mainte- peace.) No other single industry con- tributes so much, and the sum total is second only tothe national incometax. And one thought encourages an- other. It wasn’t very long ago when an attempt was made to legislate so- called “morality” into our people. It | didn’t work, and it never will, among a free people. But, quite apart from the “mo question, the revenue produced by our industry is being spent to.insure the continuance and preservation of our way of life.
