ternity. This is a trinity of nations
and ideals that' can be trusted to make
the world free and safe for democracy.
One of the most impressive results
of the war is Our changed attitudo in
ternationally; a change which has not
yet .been fully appreciated. But take it
is we may, we are no longer a recluse
among nations-, for wo have stepped
out boldly into tha European arena,
apendin? blood and treasure lavishly
in proof of our determination to up
hold great national ideals. Quite un
expectedly we developed great power
in world politics, lnrgely because of our
disinterested position; and it may be
:.!o i for granted that we will neither
relinquish that power nor shirk its
obligations, thy president hae set forth
cortain ideals, intended for the good of
mankind as much as for ourselves. Dif
ficult as they may be of realization,
they correctly represent the views of
tho American pcoplo, and form one of
the most precious contributions of the
war toward establishing the future
peace of tho world. Mr. Wilson will
certainly have the approval of the ma
jority of patriotic Americans in his
efforts toward establishing n
of nations; and even ihml.i he net
entirely succeed in his hijM project,
he will at lenst have set for h a living
ideal which time and common interest
may eventually turn iuto a practical
.en'ity.
'1'iio war quickly changed this coun
try from a debtor nntion to next the
chief creditor na'ion of tho world;

a degree that in less than five years
our exports increased 1"0 per conk and
our imports 50 per cent. In even less
time than th?,t wo absorbed, net, $.'),
000,000,000 s rarities, and have also
loaned to our i l!ic8 about $10,000,000,
00 net. Our nnticr.al wealth is estimat
ed to havo increased about 4 per cent;
our bank deposits about 50 per cent
and our bank .clearings nearly 90 per
cent. As a maritime power we have
leaped almost, from tho bottom to a
good second, having 3,000,000 tons al
ready completpd and 13,000,000 tons
projected. In spite of the diversion of
our economic energies and the conso
quont dislocation of labor, we produc
ed more than half the world's supply
of copper and oil. Of stoel and cotton
we already produce vastly more than
any other nation. We raised larger
quantities of grain and cattle than
over in our history, and Mi Hoover
has told us that we must send not less
than 20,000,000 tons of food this year
to starving Erfrope, whicfo can safely
bo done without causing any scarcity
at home. In truth, the United Btates
has found its .If internationally.
In foreign trado we are sure of great
development. Immense quantities of
commodities, crudo products and build
ing materials will .bo wanted iu Eu
rope for reconstruction, i ranee and
Germany can supply 'but little. Britain
is already well prepared, and is mak
ing a prompt start; but much of her
greatly revitalized energy will bo con
sumed in tho new development of her
own empire. The United Slates, will,
therefore, come in for a liberal share
of thig now demand. We, too, are mak
ing ambitious plans for trade develop
ment in Mouth America and the far
East, and many new opportunities wil
be oponed by this grei. t war. bevcu .
of our great banking institutions arc
alive .to the future, and American
branch banks are opening all over the
world. Under the Webb law, dosigncd
to permit combinations of exporter,
very extonaive preparations are being
made, and many largo industrial cor
porations havo joined these organiza
tions. Small concerns have equai oppor
tunity with tho larger under tho Webb
law, which was also intended to avoid
possiblo conflict with tho Sherman An
ti-trust law. During 1919 wo may looK
for a largo expansion of exports and
a very considerable growth of imports,
although tho lattor, under present con
ditions cannot be expected to keep pace
with tho former, and we shall siil eu
tinuo to be a leading creditor nation.
Tho only means bT which theso debts
can be settled and by which foreign
countries can buy our products is for a
liberal granting oi credit on uut , ..t
also a much wider investment of Ameri
can capital in foreign enterprise. This ,
is a new but necessary departure, i.- ..
one that will ultimately lead t to id '
eroaso of national prosperity n..u .... -enee.
When war borrowing is ended
we-will be in a position to grant tuusv ,
credits freely, having largo gold a-,, j

foreign holdings, the proceeds of wine i
to a very considerable extent can be)
profitably employed abroad. i

ions such rules pressed hard upon all
branches of individual and corporate
enterprise, and business men naturally
grew reBtive under the delays and un
certainties thus incurred; not to speak
of the friction and trouble caused by
inexperienced and arbitrary officials.
All such drawbacks were, however,
cheerfully endured for patriotic rea
sons, and now our manufacturers, bank
ers and merchants, after real exper
ience as .to what it means to havo the
government in business, are rejoicing
over the prompt approach to normal
"luditions. At the close of tho year
the railroads, shipping olographs and
telephones remain under government
junuol; and a measure ot regulation
over foreign exchange, gold and bank
rcditB 's still in existence. Tho gov
ernment also holds immense quantities
of merchandise which must be sold,
and still exercises moro or less control
over wheat and meat prices. In other
els. however, public regulation has
almost completely disappeared.
Our most Dressing domestic proDiems
during the coming year will be grouped
under finance, foreign trade, iaoor,
shipping, railroads, and commodity
markets. American finances are in bet
ter shape than those of any belligerent
because the strain has been less, and
snurefs relatively greater. ureat
Bri ain has assumed a huge load, which
through skilful handling and tho var
ied resources of her great empire, she
is abundantly able to sustain. France,
too, is equal to tho heavy burdn thrust
upon her; but both Germany and Rus
sa rre overwhelmed by inflation, and
hreatened with rcpndia ion and bank
ruptcy. Thero has, cf course, been con
siderable inflation in this country, as
is always the case in war; but thanks
to our federal reserve system and the
rigid conservatism of our bankers we
hsve never crossed the danger line. The
-fforts for raising such immense sums
for ourselves and our allies have been
ti anie, naturally absorbing the coun
try's savings so completely Jhat little
or no eapital was available for ordin
ary enterprise This scarcity of money
and capital must be endured for srnie
months longer, owing to the urgency
of after-war requirements, which will
neceesi ate a further jwstponement of
new ventures. When war demands do
cease, a heavy rnsn for eapital must bj
expected; and the only check upon in
ordinate development will be high in
errst ratea ard high commodity prices;
conditions which are not likely to dis
appear at a very early date.
A source of considerable apprehen
sion at 'his time is our National Legis
lature. Drastic tax legislation, especial
ly in the matter of excess profits,
hreaens to dry up the chief source
of new eapital, which is he cavings

Most authorities now agrea that
what we call Spanish influenr.a is simp
ly tho old fashioned grip, which was
fpidemie here in 1889-90. Tha influen
ta germs enter through the nose and
mouth and attaek the lining of the air
passages nose, throat aud bronchial
tube. .
There is no cure or specific for thia
disease, but nature will throw off the
attack, if only yon consorts your
strength. A competent physician should
always bo called. Tho use of VapoRub
does not interfere with any internal
treatment and it is now boinj, used by
broadminded physicians evciywhere, m
order to stimulate the lining of the air
passages to throw off the grip germs,
to aid in loosening tho phlegm .tnd
keeping the air passages open, thu
tanking the breathing rasicr. Hot, wot
towe's should be appli.d over the
Wiroat, chest and back between the
shoulder blndes to open the :porea.
Then VapoRwb should bo rubbed in
over tho parts until the skin is red,
spread on thickly and covered with
two thieknefses of hot flannel cloths.
Loavo the clothing loose around the
neck, as the hent of tho body liberates
tho ingredients in the form of vapors.
These vapors, in!ia'd with each breath
carry tho mcdica'.io-i directly to tho
parts affected. At th amo time, Vapo
Rub is absorbed through and stimu
lates tho skin, attracting the blood to
the surface, and thus aids in relieving
the congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to pixvo that Span
ish influenza is a germ disease, spread
principally by human eontact," ehicfiy
through coughing, gnoezing 0r spitting.'
Bo avoid persons having colds wuich
means avoiding crowds common drink
ing cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up
your bodily strength by plenty of ex
ervise in the open air, and good food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLES
' Above all, avoid eolds, as eolds irri
tnto tho lining of the air passages and
render them much bettor breeding
places for the germs.
Use Vkk 'g VapoRub at the very first
sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt
a little VapoRub in a sipoon and inhale
tho vapors, or better still, nso Vapo
Rub in a benzoin eieam kettle. If this
is not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half full trf boiling water,
put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub
from time to thnc keep tho kottle just
slowly 'boiling and inhale the steam
arising.
hOTE Viek'g VapoRub. is the dis- .
covery of a North Cnrolira druggist,
who found how to combine,, in salve
form, Menthol and Campnor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptuf., Thyme,
Cubebs, etc., so that when the salve is
applied to tho body heat, these ingre
dients, are liberated in the form of va
pors. VapoRub can be had in three siz
es at all druggists. Whilo. comparative
ly new in certain parts of tho north,
it is the standard homo remedy in the
south and west for all forms of cold
troubles over six million jorg were
sold last year. VapoRub is p rhicularly
recommended for, children g croup or
colds, as at is externally npplLed and
enn, therefore, i useu freely and often
without tho slightest harmful effects.
very lightly or escaped altogether.
Thore is also much concern over the
tendency of the government to absorb
the railroads, shipping, telegraph and
other utiliitM, which too effectually
throttles enterprise in those directions.
Public opinion does not yet warrant any
such movo and these tendencies at
Washington aro likely to arouse much
opposition.
Tho future of our railroads is still
uncertain. No experienced judge bo
lieves they can possibly be run as well
undor government ownership as under
privato ownership Besides, publie op
inion as a whole is decidedly against
such a remedy, which is onl wanted
by a noisy minority. If satisfactory
regulations ca'n be put int0 effect, the
call for publie ownership would have
no justification. Meanwhile the roads
should be returned to their owners as
soon as consistent with safety, and in
strict accordance with tho promise
mado when taken over by the govern
ment. The labor outlook has eaused much
uneasiness, tho unsettlemcnt induced
by high costs of living, war wages bo
ing the chief cause. Probably the sit
uation will clear itself. There is every
likelihood of plenty of employment s't
good wages, and a shortage of iabor will
bo greatly relieved by return of men
from the front. Employers, recognizing
Ihe situation, ate generally willing to
mako reasonable concessions. The move
ment to reach a bettor understanding
on both sides through discussion, get
ting together, considering tho other
point of view, and bearing in mind the
humanities of the situation also prom
ises to aid tho solution of an otherwise
threatening situation. Certainly if a
fair and friendly spirit can be estab
lished botween capital and labor, in
cluding recognition of their eommon
interest and co-operation to uch ends,
there will bo no serious trouble. i
Among the difficult questions ahead
is that of shipping. We have built
enormous tonnago; and though the war
is over the present schedule when built
will givo us a. fleet of about 16.000.000
tons of government owned ships. What
to do with them when finished ig a
vexed problem. Tho have been built at
extraordinary cost, from two to three
times that of equal ships in Europe,
and the government coudl not se.i them
except at a heavy loss. As about twj
and a half billions havo been appro
priated for this purpose, it will be seen
the loss must be heavy. If the ships
bo chartered to American concerns, tno
latter will be handicapped by heavy
coBts of operating uiuler wo American
flag. It is proposed, then fore, to com
pensate tho American owner by ade
quato subsidies, which, however, wouid
only aggravate the already excessive
burdens of the taxpayer, who must then
pay for tho losses of operation after
supplying funds for building. Thtt is
anything but good business for cithct
the government or the people
For business men tho outlook is prom
ising, though confused by the many un
certainties referred to. Monttarv rc.
straints will have to be cuicrHy con
sidered, ginee there is an unusual de
gree of inflation in both financial and
eommercicl affairs. Commodities aro
upon a hazardously high lovel, owing
to worldwide scarcity and high costs
of production, arid some recessions must
be expeeted. Should the declines coma
grauuauy, the result will be stimulating
to business by aiding a partial return to
more norms! conditions In tho ucri
enltural regions, there is much prosperi
ty resulting from prevailing high prices
and in manufacturing districts the same
is true, owing to high wages. In conse
quence thore should be a wide distribu
tion of all the ordinary necessities.
What is most needed is a strict conser
vation in all important business ven
tures, also a wide economy among the
publie at large. If theso simple safe
guards are carefully followed for the
coming year, the effect will bo to
strengthen confidence mid
way for a eafe and certain recovery.
