S. treasury were $12 this money, approximately $5,845,000,000 went for oe » government expenses, interest on pre-war debt, Ps | canal, farm loan bonds and loans to our allies. We disbursed 6,851,154,048 on account of our own war expenses. And in i lions were hundreds of millions for ships, ship- warehouses, docks, permanent investment, it May reasonably be called. ° : On June 5, last, Secretar McAdoo estimated the treas- disbursements at $24,000,000,000 f the fiscal year June 80, 1919. This would make the outlay for the 0 rs $37,000,000,000, in round numbers. m this should be deducted approximat on pre-war debt, Panama canal, etc., leaving $34, 0,000 as the actual two years’ outlay for war, and in this under the most reasonable estimates, $15,000,000,000 rep- ating loans to allies, ships, warehouses and other perma- ly valuable or productive investment. Our war bill is not fifty billion. It is some 35 billions, a tremendous lot of fine improvements and investments we ought to have gone in for, war or no war. This na- jon was like a house without water pipes, lighting, sewer window glass or a chimney. To make the house ten- table is not dead loss. It’s gain, and so'with very, very iny of the billions listed as lost under the misleading term cost.” England has organized a dye combine to render S ‘euton trade attacks after the war.

Clearly, succinctly, Mason points out that Hindenburg’s further resistance depends upon his ability to place another ' great force of reserves.
