FRIDAY MARCH 31, 1916.
The prophecy of Lord North
clilte that the United States will
have a difficult time to hold its
own in the competitive markets
of the world after the conclusion
of the war, because of the vastly
increased industrial capacities of
the combatant nations, is the
most significant utterance that
has been given to the American
people relative to the industrial
future of this nation. It is the
prevailing conception at present
that when peace is concluded the
warring nations will have so much
to do in their own countries in the
matter of restoring and reorganiz
ing what war has destroyed that
they will have no time to give to
the upbuilding of their foreign
trade for along period. It re
quires but brief consideration of
the conditions obtaining in the
belligerent countries to see the
error of this conclusion. It is
quite true that the wholesale de
vastation of the war will require
a vast amount of labor to repair
and restore and that the task will
be created doubly difficult owing
to the great destruction of pro
ductive units.
Also, it is doubtless true that
they will all be greatlv impover
ished, which would also have a
great tendency to act as a brake
to speedy re-establishment of
normal conditions. All this w.ould
seem distinctly in favor of the
United States retaining the com
mercial supremacy thrust upon
the nation by the long continued
inactivity of its foreign trade
rivals. Today the United States
is in practical command of the
commercial markets of the world
and finds itself in the remarkable
position of having the entire civ
ilize world calling at its door for
the products which it aione is
able to supply. The greatest and
richest nations of Europe are pil
ing up mammoth debts to us, the
gold of the world is pouring intc
our coffers and the magnitude ol
P*tr dealings with others is in
creased many hundred fold. Tc
all appearances we are piling uj:
a balance of commercial powei
which might be expected to sur
vive for decades. And it doubt
less would so survive were it no
for the all important fact that th<
war Ins not diminished, save i
a trifling degree, the productive
capacities of those who have been
and will again be America's most
formidable trade rivals The w i
has indeed crippled and, in tlu
case of Germany and Vustria dt
stroyed, the foreign trade of om
most active competbors but at
the same time it has not destroy
ed their productive resources.- In
the case of England the capacities
for production have been increas
ed to a prodigious degTee owinj
to the internal demands. France
also has made a lemarkable in
crease in her industrial capacities
during the war. Germany has
probably made the greatest
-trides of all owing to the cutting
off of all outside resources having
compelled the nation to produce
for its own uses what it could no
longer purchase. Both Austria
: and Russia have also made re
markable advances in their pro
iuctive capacities and at the pres
ent time are in a far stronger in
lustrial condition, comparatively
sneaking, than at any time in
their history. The disturbing ef
fects of the war, the upsetting of
normal conditions have had the
effect of forcing practically all of
the combatants to double or tre
ble their productive resources for
their own maintenance. Despite
the cutting off of an immense por
tion of their trade, they are near
ly all producing more than ever
before.
\v hat more natural then, t^at,
at the termination of the mam
moth struggle, they should' one
and all turn their greatly increas
e 1 capacities for production to
the task of producing the revenue
with which to carry on the work
of reconstruction necessitated by
the ravages of war? Millions of
hands will be in waiting for labor
following the disbanding of the
mighty armies and it is not to be
doubted that the several govern
ments will at once employ them
in such avenues of endeavor as
will be the most speedily tenum
erative. All of the nations will
probably at once devote their at
tention to the production of com
modities for export. W ith thous
ands of factories readv andsinil
ions of idle people waiting to car
ry on the work of production and
with a wide and hungry market
to supply, it would not be long
before practically every energy
would be applied to manufacturing
the commodities in greatest de
mand in foreign markets and one
and all will be striving with might
and main to control the markets
wherein lie the greatest possibil
ities of profit. This means, of
course, that they will enter into
active competition with the Uni
ted States at a very early period
after the cessation of hostilities.
The United States will not be left
to enjoy a monopoly of the
world’s trade for more than a
brief period and with lower pro
ductive costs and the all absorb
ing necessity for disposing of their
wares as quickly as possible, it
will not be long before the Uni
ted States will find itself forced to
extremes to retain its hold in any
market where the European man
ufacturers can reach with the
same line of commedities.
WHAT “GOAT.”
The editor of the Burlington
la., Saturday Evening Post asks
the question: What will the pro
hibition spellbinders and agitators
do for a “goat" when liquor is
abolished? He predicts that fu
ture newspaper headlines may
read like these:
“Peruna. Women and Song
Ruined Him.”
“Forged a Check "vVhile Onder
the Influence of Coffee.’
“Drank a Quart of Machine Oil
and Ran Amuck, Killing Three.”
“Ascribes His Downfall to the
Twin Evils, Furniture Varnish
and Gambling.’ i,
“The Twenty Per Cent of Al
cohol in Winter Apples Ruined
Him,” or “The Gallon of Alcohol
i r Each Bushel of His Winter
Potatoes Debauched Him, Mak
ing Him a Fit Subject for Crime.”

HAM AND CABBAGE.
I met a shinning damsel of the
most angelic mold; her lovely
hair was clearly formed from
filaments of gold. Her cheeks
were like the sunset and hr lips
were like the dawn, her body slim
and graeful as a young gazelle
or fawn. I told her how entranced
I was that thus we two should
meet, and asked her to a restau
rant to have a bite to eat.
I ordered consomme du rose
and violets on toast, a tiny gold
fish served for 2, a stuffed canary
roast, a salad made of buttercups,
a sip of honey dew and said : ”(.)
tairy frail, is that enough for me
ami you?’ A look of patient sor
row was the answer of her eye,
and with lips described above she
furnished this reply:
“The most enchanting shadow
that it’s possible to cast must have
a parent subject or the shadow
cannot last. The roses on the
lovely cheeks of sweet and bright
sixteen reflect the fundamental
necessary pork and bean. So
cancel all that fancy fluff from
rose to honey dew. and order ham
and cabbage, if it’s all the same
to you ”—By Arthur Brooks
Baker in Commercial Tribune.
