To the second of these tasks there are two phases, namely, that of trans- ferring to the government a sufficient | portion of our individual incomes to meet the enormous expenditures in- volved, and the rcorganization of our industrial activities in such a man- ner as to insure the production of war commodities in sufficient volume and their delivery to our soldlers at the times and in the places in which they are wanted. The magnitude of the task of Sup- plying our government the requisite funds is indicated by the fact that according to the best estimates the aggregate of the annual incomes of | the people of this country does not exceed forty billions of dollars, while our annuel war expenditures will not be less than fifteen billions of dol- 1| lars.

Stanley | Alex | from this uncomfortable situation is the fact that we cannot borrow from forelgn countries, as we have always hitherto been able to do. The drain of the war upon our Allles has al- ready been so great that they are not only not sble to make any loans or contributions to us, but are no longer able to supply thelr own wants with- out our help. Instead of borrowing from them, we must lend to them. Domestic borrowing does not offer a means of escape. It simply cnables some of us temporarily to pay less than our share of the expenses, oth- ers—the domestic bondholders—pay- ing more than their share on condi- tlon of being repaid the excess with interest in the future. enable the nation to shift one ounce of the burden. Taxation and loans are the only methods of transferring income from the pockets of the people to the public treasury. The former involves compulsion, while the latter is pure- 'y voluntary. Our government has adopted a combination of these two, proposing this first year to collect about one-fitth of the amount need- ed by taxation and to appeal to us voluntarily to supply the other four- fitths In the form of Liberty Loans and War Savings. Savings Must Be Incrensed. Both of these methods assume that the savings of the people from cur- rent income will be adequate during each year to supply the government's needs, and that means in the present case that we must at least treble our | pormal savings, which, according to | the best estimates, have amounted to ! about five billion dollars a year. We cannot transfer to the government what we do not possess, and if out of | our forty billions of annual income we continue to spend thirty-five on ;our personal consumption, and save only five, no taxatlon or loan system | can put fifteen billions into the pub- 'ic treasury. In current discussions of the rela- tive merits of the taxation and the ) loan methods, it is frequently assumed that the former is certain to produce the requisite amount of revenue; in other words, that it compels the nec- essary amount of saving. But exper- jence scarcely justifies such a con- clusion. It is doubtless true that up to a certaln point people will save in | It does not | order to pay taxes or, same thing, to avoid consequences of not paying them; but it is also true that there is a point beyond which the consequences of paying the taxes will be considered more unpleasant than those of not raying them.

When the Government forcibly limits the volume of our consumption by not allowing us to purchase more than a limited, prescribed quantity of food, clothing, fuel, etc., and at the same time takes possession of our fac- tories and farms and shops and con- seripts our services, it is forcing us to most efficlent possible manner, though not in the most agreeable way. Shifting to War Production. The reorganization of our economic activities referred to above as the second phase of the task of equipping our armles and navies involves the diversion of n considerable tage of our productive energy from peace to war industries. On account of the heavy drafts upon the labor factor in production, occasioned the recruiting of our armies and na- vies, We cannot hope to increase the total volume of our prodaction while the war is in progress. We shall do well indeed if we maincain it at tho pre-war level In order greatly to increase the production of munitinns of war, spe- clal kinds of food and clothing for soldiers and sailors, air ships and sea ships, hospital supplies, etc., we must { our percen- | by | | energy | Americans who are spending as usual Both requirements are fully met by United States Tires, —unfailing reliability under all conditions, —economy in operation by giving you the fullest use of your car, —economy in long service, —lowest cost per mile of travel.
