Late reports indicate that the net
war indebtedness of the United
States is only $1 2,000,000,000. This
'4a the amount left out of the total
expenditure after deducting the bil
lions which our allies have borrowed
and will pay back, and the other bil
lions wticb have been paid, and are
now being paid, by taxation. There
are said to be about $9,000,000,000
of these foreign loans and $9,000,

Thus the nation tinds itself, at the
close ot the war, In ata exceptionally
strong financial position. This net
deibt Is nowhere near so large and
burdensome as most people have ex
pected. It has been kept down chiefly by
the tact that the American people
were willing, during the war, to pay
larger proportion of the war bills
In taxes than any other nation. Those
taxes have come hard, and still come
hard, on top of all the big liberty
loan subscriptions and other war de
