New York, June 2.—He would in- deed be a pessimist who al- Jowed the bitternoss and strife of this war to blind his perceptions to the better potentialities which will as- sert themselves after the strugsle. ‘When the tragedy is ended and peace onecs more established, this world will be a far) better place in which to live than ever before; albeit there will still remain many problems requiring so- lution. Of the ultimate result of the ‘war, there can be no question; the Allies will win. It could not de other- ‘wise, simply because the whole civi- lized world is opposed to that sort of militarism - which - if perpetuated would inevitably again throw the whole world into chaos and anarchy. Such beliefs are not based alone on the mere faith in the ultl- mate good; they are based upon solid facts common to every day observa- tion. As every one knows to his sor- row, this war ‘nfinitely surpasses all others in scope, venom and crueity; and yet in somse respects it is the most unselfish contest in all history. The material, ends which Britain, France, the United Simtes, Russia, Itsly and other nations are. contending for are trifiing factors in comparison - with. the’ great democratic ideals which in- | flexibily unite all the Allles in their .determination to sacrifice everything for victory: Back of all the numer- ous and complex questions about ter- ritory, trade, ‘tradition, race, ' etc, ‘which individual states may have in view lies the common ‘denpminator of political and soclal liberty for which millions of men have volunteered to fight and die. In the last analysis the great struggle, as often asserted, is between democracy and KutOCTACY, the outcome of which is already = foregone conclusion, except to those obsessed and blinded by contrary ideals. It is not well, however, to confine our vision to the immediate issues at stake. Some other benefits will fol- low after the Allled victory. The warld is likely to think more soberly and sanely than it has done for several generations, Much of the radicalism, extravagance, waste and political nonsense which have been falsely paraded as progress, and which have permeated the life of every country, will be swept away and followed by new and saner efforts. Already economy and efficlency have received an immense stimulus. The United States, Great Britain, France and other countries are each making strenucus efforts to secure the , methods of industry; methods ‘alike satisfactory to capital and. labor. Sclence and research are doing their utmost to discover better ways and new resources with distinct success. Manufacturers are seeking . co- ordination and co-operation with a view of stopping wasteful effort and securing more economical production and distribution. . This movement is . worldwide, and is ultimately destined to show remarkable advance, particu- larly when the war is over. Accom- panying this movement are symptoms of a olearer understanding between capital and labor. Already both have fownd a comon basis in working to- gether for their country; patriotism has done much to unite them; misun- derstandings have been softened; the manufacturer better understands labor's point of ylew, and labor also has a better appreciation of the diffi- culties and risks of the employer. A Detter class of men are likely to be called inta public life, as is a result of all great crisis. In our own case, tln need of this is particularly strong; country having suffered much trom the politiclans whose chief aims were to hold their jobs by fostering prejudice and class interest rather than devoting themselves to public ‘welfare and real statesmanship. : This ‘war will undaubtedly force a number of men out of private life into public notice, and not a few will obey the coming call to serve the country in time of peace as well as war. Incl- dentally, therefore, we may hope for better politics than for the last decade at least. For years we have been sur- feited with all classes of isms and yagaries, which at times seriouly threatened the stability of our entire economic and wsocial fabric. Not & few able thinkers feared that the’ tide of radicalism : was {irresistably’ sweeping us on to the brink of violent soclal and political revolution. Demo- cracy seemed adrift on the sea of doubt. Now that the war has reached our own shores, it has sobered men as nothing else could have done. Thought has been running deep and strong. Shallow theories are being brushed aside by the sterner and more pressing perils of War: a new set of problems and necessities have in- truded themselves upon us, and the ‘world as we see it has already under- gone revolutionary changes. As yet these have not worked out their legi- timate ends, and it will require years before the new ‘problems approach solution, many of the old ones dis- appearing forever in ‘the meantime. These are some of the changes that the war will surely bring, It is & great privilege to live and have a share in the making of a new era; in many respects destined to be the brightest the world has ever seen.

Strenu- ous efforts are now being made to push 'the loan and there is every reason for belleving'that it will be a magnificent success. Contributions are now coming in much more freely, and during the next two weeks ti campaign will naturally graw in tensity. Enormous sums have been subscribed by financial and business 1nstitutions. The general public is showing in- creasing interest each day. Already the support of small subscriptions is much ‘larger than generally appears, because many such subscriptions are entered in. the name of financial insti- tutions who are liberally aiding bu; ers in financing their purchases. The accumulation of such immnienocs amounts must of necessity have an ~effect upon the investment and speculative markets and the in- flationary effects of war are becom- ing more and more evidenced in the persistent rise of both securities and commodities. Ons effect has been the falling off in domestic capital issues, the total reparted for May in the United States being $48,000,000, as against $193,000,000 a year ago. Since January 3 been $887,000,000, $1,18¢,000,000 last year. This de- crease, which was chiefly in industrial corporations, is the natural result of the diversion of capital from the pur- suits of peace to those ot war.
