President’ Van Hise, of the University of Wisconsin, estimates the national debts of Great Britain, France and Germany at the end of 1915, giving the total as $10,419,000,000 for the United Kingdom, $7,275,000,000 for Germany, and $10,314,000,000 for France. He points out that these figures do not include the local debts of these nations at the beginning of the war. . No wonder the statesmen of Europe are worrying about the increase in infant mortality. The fewer babies, the fewer workers—it will take millions of men to pay off even the interest on the debts. And the war is not yet done. What the principle of this strange inheritance will amount to is too enormous for understanding. How it is to be paid, is incomprehensible, when we remember that wealth, of which money is only the measure, has to be created by the labor of men's hands. Viewed so, this inheritance of Europe’s babies becomes a form of slavery.
