STRUCTION VOLUME 19. ROSPERIT HE FUTURE | HE UNITED STATES, now enjoying the greatest prosperity in its his- | tory, is assured even greater—and permanent—prosperity in the future. | This is the incontrovertible opinion of leading and unbiased economists in the country. | In March, 1916, the resources of our national banks in the United States | were $14,383,000,000. This sum exceeds by $370,000,000 the greatest resources ever knownan the history of the national banking system. It exceeds by approximately three billions the combined resources of the Bank of England, Bank of France, Bank of Russia, Reichsbank of Ger- many, Bank of the Netherlands, Swiss National Bank, and Bank of Japan. And in March, 1916, the resources were $2,271,000 greater than March, 1915. The future will present even larger resources. | | ‘ in Scant attention need be paid to prejudiced alarmists who, for political or other selfish reasons, predict a period of depression after the war. | When peace comes, the commerce of the United States will be far Sveater than during the war. It will be the greatest in all of its history, and = | may be greater than that of any country in ALL history. These impregnable facts bear out the promise of greater prosperity in | the future: : | 1—The of war orders, contrasted with the entire domestic | and foreign commerce of the United States, is small. | ‘When peace comes, we shall receive even greater orders from Europe | for the restorative purposes of peace, for the reconstruction of ruined in- _ > our trade with Germany and Austria, which : last_year prior to the war. - ~ 4 We thal have lees competion than in the past aie England, France and Germany, our hitherto greatest commercial rivals.
