S. Has Unlimited Resources in Men and Money (Special to the Herald.) New York, June 24.—Neither United States nor Mexico really wants that the war; yet conditions are such a catastrophe of this sort seems immin- ent. To the United States the conse- quences cannot be serious, except in the unnecessary of life. Neither the creation of an army of 100,000 to 200,000 men, nor the expenditure of a few hundred millions of dollars will make any decided impression upon the vast resources of the United States. The ratio of costs and losse in a war with Mexico would be ve much less than in case of the Furo- pean war, and no such corresponding outlays for munitions and transporta- tion would be necessary. No serious ii- ternational difficulties are threatened by the Mexican crisis. War or inter- vention might revive the jealousies of South American States, which we have been sincerely trying to avoid with partial success, and which should pass away entirely as our southern neigh- bors acquire better understanding of our intentions. War might raise concerning our other nations which, have large intere in Mexico that would be vitally affected. It is too carly, however, to intelligently discuss such problems, and for the time being we are chiefly concerned with imme- diate action. We may first anticipate a period of excitement and an adjust- ment from peaceful to warlike condi- tions. Mobilization of men, war fi- nance, preparations and shipment of munitions will each act as stimulants and promote activity. Optimism is one of the usual concomitants of war; yet it must be remembered that this war, should it really come, will be a rela- tively small affair, and that in a com- paratively short period the country will become accustomed to the new conditions and affairs will go on much as before. How long and how stiff a struggle is to be expected cannot he foretold; nor ought its difficulties to be underestimated, although the im- mense superiority of the United States in resourc and men indicates but one result—war with Mexico cannot end until order, justice ‘and a stable government have been established upon a firm basis. In any event the task is a thankless oneé. Our govern- ment has already made it clear that it has no lust of conquest, nor terri- torial ambitions; a declaration that should be lived up to not only for our own good, but also as an example of good faith and good will between our- selves and all South American repub- 1i For Mexico the war is a serious matter, since with limited financial resources and difficulty in securing adequate_supplies of munitions defeat is doubly %ertain. Outlook The domestic outlook continues encouragin, Yet, there are certain developments and growing drawbacks which should not be over- looked. Some slackening of trade has already occurred owing to the exces- sive rise of many commodities. For example, in nearly all metals, which advanced because of the European war, there is a weakening tendency, and it would seem as if the turning point had at last been reached. The steel indust though active and still in excellent condition, is quieter; de- mand is less urgent, and premiums on quick deliveries have been abandoned. Signs of coming weakness servable in copper, lead, other minerals, s becat crease in output. The petroleum which must consequences of the velopment of new wells following in- creased consumption and abnormally high prices. These conditions are not wholly discouraging. On the contrar they prove pro s and activity; also a necessary readjustment to new econ- omic conditions, and the fact that sup- ply is overtaking demand. Many commodities had reached a dangerous- 1y high level, often the result of reck- less and unsound speculation. The days of extravangant war profits de- rived from big European orders arc drawing to a close. At most it fe to assume that the Kuropean war is about two-thirds done; and that whilc munition orders will not ccase sudden- iate that hence- forth they will play a diminishing part in our trade anad industrial activities. From now on the industrial which benefited so extraordinarily from the misfortunes of others, must face the inevitable recessions to more normal conditions. los: a some questions ponsibilities to like ourselves, Good. for business Doemesti a 0 ob- and in- re spelte of an me is true of feel the tremendous de- soon Jump in Foreign Trade. Peace is not yet in sight; yet the belief gains that is is not far distant, and with its approach the forces of readjustment will receive fresh impe- tus. Whatever slackening there n be in domestic industry, the convic. tion strengthens that our cign trade will make a big forward move- ment, and that a vigorous contest for supremacy in that direction is one of the inevitable sequences. The United States needs larger foreign outlets for its expanding Industrial energles, and must have them; but at the end of the European war will find itself serfously handicapped by high of production; particularly in reg to labor, which intoxicated by war wages seems in no mood to make any concessions. This will afford con- siderable advantage to our foreign ri- | vals in their new start, especially to Germany which will bend every effort for recovery of her lost position in the world's foreign trade. Europe also will face handicaps in the form of huge depts, high cost of living, scar- RIT o8 Ao 5 <] ‘ HARTFORD. MONDAY SPECIAL Cloth SUITS FOR LADIES AND MISSES.

Un- avoidably trade rivalry will be keener than ever before in the world’s his- tory, confirmation of this being already furnished by new efforts in mercan- tile circles abroad for tariff treaties discriminating duties and alliances and conventions of all sorts. Unless all signs fail, the world is in for a series of hostile tariffs, if not actual boyeotts against the Central Powers; a tendency much to be regretted and one that should he strenuously op- posed by all who, desire a lasting peace. Such policles will certainly keep alive international animosities and friction; there being nothing which nations more quickly resent than interference with their commer- cial activities, and nothing in modern civilization more likely to provoke an- other war than retaliatory tariffs. The Crops. Among unsatisfactory domestic conditions thus far ignored is the prolonged backwardness of the crops. This may be offset by warm weather later on, while good prices and a good surplus of wheat and ample vields of fruit and hay are in any event compensations of importance. The only other drawback of real significance is the labor outlook which is a matter of very serious concern to some industries. The prospect of a great railroad strike overshadows the whole situation. It seems hardly pos- sible that a section of railroad em- ployees will, for their own advantage only, throw all their fellow workers out of employment, reckles bring- ing business and transportation to « practical standstill thorughout the country. Surely labor leaders have not so completely lost their reason as appears; else they have completely overlooked the consequences to themselves of unduly irritating a long- suffering public opinion. In no other direction is such great power wielded without responsibility or regard to cither the public or the government A strike of this character would prob- ably lead congre to impose some form of legal restraint against such reckless abuse of power. From the above it will be seen that conditions do mnot favor an advancing market at this time. Money is casy and bank reserves are rising. The Mexican crisis does not promfse to riously affect interest rates, since a campaign could be easily financed by cither short term issues or the output of Panama Canal bonds. Fortunatel there is an abundance of funds for both lending and investment purposes. The railroad position is generally sat- isfactory, apart from the possibility of a strike just referred to. The reac- tionary tendencies of business, how- cver, the weakening of commodities, indifferent crop liquidation and the labor outlook are all in favor of Ii- guidation, especially in view of the high prices at which some of the war tndustrials are still selling. Some very sharp declines have already taken place, esi lly in mineral, munition and Mexican ares, and liquidation has apparently not yet run it : Sudden fluctuations are to be ex at any time in securities affected the Buropean war or the Mexican crisis.
