In normal times ia peace times it costs about a billion dollars a year to run the Government. . For the, fiscal year ended June 30, 191S Congress appropriated in round numbers, including deficiencies, I1S.SS2.000.0.00. for 1919 Con gress has appropriated in round numbers at the present session. In cluding deficiencies and appropria- ;ion bills pending, $24,330,000,000. The mind is often confused over "appropriations" and "expendi tures." Congressional appropria tions fix the limit of what may be used. Then the Governmental de partments and bureaus spend what 9 necessary, and at tiie end of the year the appropriation lapses. Offi 'ial figures show that for the fiscal year 1918, the Government spent $12,696,702,471.14, and in addition during the war months of 1917 dis bursed $885,000,000 for loans to Allies. I'p to the very day we entered the war, Germany believed that victory Cat the Central powers lay just ahead. A strong factor In this cal dilation was their belief that the Entente powers were financially ex hausted. Germany had spent fifty years preparing for a war of conquest. ?he knew that from its very start she must wage It from within the circle composed of herself and her Allies, that she must produce from within this circle her raw stuffs and manufactured material, and by doing this, though the war has continued far beyond the eighteenth month that Germany set tY;r its winning if there was to be a winning--she has kept her mcney at home, used it over and over again, as the same water often turns the wheels of many mills. Our Allies, cn tha other hand, owing ctiefly to x'.mir lack of prep aration, had to come into the mar kets cf V. e t'nited 3:ates for most of their war necessaries, and in the year of cur neutrality their account n.-iili iih tntnlprl annrnvimfttplv S9.- !

We advanced il-.em money and credit, and we cal!d the transaction a loan, la the fiscal years of 191" and 1918 we leaned them $5,623,000,000. Their securities and governmental under takings to repay lie in the vaults of the Treasury of the United States. What our Allies did with that credit or money Is of vast importance to us. They looked to us to supply them with wheat and corn and cot ton from our fields, coal and ore from ( ur mines, and finisher1, pro ducts from our factories and foun dries, otherwise they could not re main at war, so they brought this credit that we had lent them into our markets and spent it over our counters. During the fiscal year 1918 our exports Lmounted to $6, j'lf.oo j,vo.
