War Will not Cripple a Nation That
Has Developed Its Manufacture*.
An esteemed contemporary has
made a strong presentment of its case
but the case is envolved in doubt. Re­
viewing “the havoc of war and the
battles' confusion” it holds that we
cannot for many years be injured by
European competition. The editorial
is in style and in pathos one of the |
best that we have read since the war
began.
Yet John Fiske had cause to speak
of "the increasing toughness of civil­
ization.” Where is the evidence that
war can crush the industry of a na­

It is too early to say what European
towns are non-competitors, and what
are preparing for their
greatest
achievments. This much we know,
that France has this year held her
greatest industrial exhibition on rec­

It may be well before predicting the
collapse of great nations to consider
the reviving power of the individual
man. Everybody knows weak charac­

break under temptation. But the mer­
chant who starts anew the morning
