It has another purpose, and that has
o do with tho trade war that begins
on tho day that pence is signed. Every
ship thnt is sent to tho bottom by
J submarines means so much advantage
for German export trade. And while
jtho U-boats are whittling away, Ger
jmany's merchant marine is lying safe
,in its own and in neutral harbors and
'.increasing in size.
It is important to note also that
throughout the neutral world German
steamship offices have everywhere
i been kept open since the outbreak of
war; that most of the .clerical staffs
have been retained and that lately
they have been raised from half to
full salaries. These steamship agen
cies everywhere arc obviously being
kept up, this enormous expense is
being carried, because Germany has
every intention of making a world
wide campaign when peace comes
for her lost trade.
All of Germany's resources are not
going up in battlefield smoke. All her
factories have not been turned over to
making the munitions of war. All
her workmen are not in the trenches.
All her workmen have not been em
ployed exclusively in the manufacture
of things needed for the army and the
navy. There are factories today at
Elberfeld, Remscheid, Frankfurt-am-Main,
Dusseldorf, with smoke stacks
belching and warehouses filled not
with shells, but with certain articles
to export.
How Is German Business Standing
the Pressure of War?
! The German nation is not on the
verge of bankruptcy. It has no huge
floating international debt, ilts war
loans are secured five times over by
'property owned by the German state
railroads, street car lines, baths,
theatres, hotels, opera houses, libra
'ries, telegraph and telephone lines
which property has not been put in
pawn, and which constitutes enormous
potential financial strength.
I Germany will have goods to hrow
on' the world's markets, as soon as
peace comes; perhaps plenty of them
in a few lines in which Germany en
joys a superabundance of raw ma
terials. The Germans will not lose
money nor just break even by this low
price trade. They will not "give
goods away" for tho sake of getting
back their world trade. In those lines
in which she ha3 great natural ad
vantages Germany will Imj able to put
out goods at prices that are, legiti
mately, very low.
: To understand this phenomenon we
must understand Germany during the
war. There, since 1914, has the so
cialistic state been evolved to nn unheard-of
extent. We can best get a
grasp of what Germany is doing to
day if we suppose that an absolute
dictator sat in Washington and around
him were the banking, industrial and
business leaders in America, entirely
purged from selfish motives were we
to suppose that graft did not exist,
that politicians wore unable to use
their power unjustly, ami that nil our
resources, men, raw materials, fac
tories, railroads, banks, and inland
waterways, wore at the complete dis
position of the dictator in Washing
ton, and that he could do with them
anything ho wished for the good of
tho United States.
That is approximately the German
situation. Human ability is tho only
speculative quality. Hut when we
consider that the Kaiser is being ad-
