ke A Look
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE U. S.
Herbert N . Casson in Pacific Builder and Engineer.
“ W hat is the m atter w ith the United States?”
As I have been residing in London since the beginning
o f the war, I have been hearing this question asked on
all sides. I have never heard any satisfactory answer.
No one seems to know.
W h y are the American factories not ¡running night
«ndday? Why are the railroads not opening up new
territories and getting ready for tfce millions o f im­
migrants who have already made up their minds to leave
Europe as soon as the w ar is over?
W hy are there not 60 American drummers in London
rig h t now, trying to sell >200,000,000 worth of American
goods in place o f the goods th at were bought last year
from Germany and Austria?
W hy have advertisers become quitters, ju st a t the
tim e when their advertisements were most needed and
moot effective in cheering on the business forces o f the
United States?
From the European point o f view, the United States
is a haven o f peace and security and prosperity. I t has
has no troubles th at ft dare mention to Belgium or
Austria or France or Germany or Serbia or Great Britain
or Russia.
Every tenth Briton has enlisted. Every tenth French­
man to a t the fro n t
Every tenth Belgian is dead.
W hat does the United States know o f trouble?
I t I could afford it I would charter the Maurotania
and Lusitania and convey a pasty o f 6000 American
advertisers to Europe fo r a trip
education. I would
give them a week in London, a week in Paris and a
week in Antwerp.
I would let them look a t the United States from the
scene’o f war, I would give them a look a t real trouble.
I would let them see trains, 10 a t a time, five minutaa
apart, packed w ith the maimed and the dying.
I would le t them hear, from fragmentary survivors,
thw incredible story o f battlefields 160 miles wide and
armies th at are greater than the entire population o f
Texas.
I would let them see graves 100 yards long and foil,
and Belgium, the country th at w f e nothing now but
12,000 square miles o f wreckage.
Then, when they began to understand, to so«» slight
extent, the magnitude and awfobiees of this war, I
would say to them:
, ; • ,/-
Realize your opportunities. Don’t start digging tranch­
es when nobody is firing a t you. Don’t fall down when
you have not been h it
Don’t be Mind to the
glorious chance you have ever had in your life.
"Go (back and advertise. Get ready for the most
tremendous business boom that any nation ever had.
Build your factories bigger.
Train more
Borrow more money. Go ahead and thank God that
you are alive and th at your family to alive, and that
you are living in a land th a t to at peace, a t a tim e when
nearly the whole world to a t w ar.”
