AMERICA AND PEACE
What effect peace will have upon
the United States is discussed in a
letter by Mr. Henry Clews, the well
known New York flnancal expert. Mr.
Clews incidentally holds to the view
that because "the side that has the
preponderance of facilities for
slaughter and money power is bound
to win, the war is not likely to hold
out through another severe winter.
Assuming that there will be a com
paratively early ending of the con
flict he takes an optimistic view of
America’s role in reconstruction.
"There is no doubt that peace will
necessitate extensive readjustments,”
he says. “Concerns devoted to war
business will be obliged to scrap con
siderable of their plants or prepare
for other lnes of work. War profits
would of course disappear and a few
lines of endeavor would cease entire
ly. Optimism would at once succeed
despair and the work of rebuilding
and re-arranging the civilised world
would start with a vigor that would
soon overcome all confusion and hes
tancy. *
•'Our steel mills would receiw no
more war ordera, but far better, they
would be pressed with orders' for
shipbuilding, for railroads, for build
ings and for all kinds of construction
work in all parts of the world. Our
textile mills would soon recover from
loss of war orders and be fully occu
pied with both domestic and foreign
I orders. Our secondary industries such
as automobiles, typewriters, agricul
tural implements, machinery, etc.,
would also be pressed with orders to
make good war losses in Europe. Our
mineral producers would be equally
sure of good markets and good prices,
so too, would the American farmer,
who may rest assured of good prices
for all he can grow for some time to
come.”
Mr. Clew says that the truth is the
war has impoverished the whole
world; the waste of life and wealth
has been inconceivable. The total ex
penditure since the war broke out in
1914 he estimates at $90,000,000,000
while millions of lives have been lost
or impaired.
"Everything grown or made by the
hand of man,” he continues, "is
scarce. Years will be required to fill
the enormous ipcuuni, and the scar
city of men at a time when most
needed means high wages, high prices
and a long period of industrial ac
tivity, Of course, there will be per
iods of weakness and depression.
There will be grave impoverishment
of some sections, as well as the crush
ing burden of debt upon all. Diffi
culties, at present unperceived, are
likely to develop, and Recovery from
war does not mean escape from all
its losses.
■ But let It De distinctly Kepi m
mind—peace when it does come will
find the United States elevated to a
pre-eminence industrially, commerc
ially and financially that would have
•required a generation to attain, had
it not been for this cataclysm In Eu
rope. Even should Great Britain re
cover her leadership after the war.
we will still he a close second, instead
of a distant third or fourth, as before
the war,”
America can view the prospect of
permanent peace with equanimity,
and indeed, with longing. The advan
tages this country has gained by rea
son of the war have not been of its
own choosing. But it would gladly
forego any world benefit it might
reap for the kind of peace it demands
—peace that will make the world
“safe for democracy.”

Mail order houses in the states,
particularly one of the largest of
these concerns having a branch in
Seattle, have been active this summer
in soliciting busine»s»here and in this

which has been sent by housewives. |
Women here should not make the j
serious mistake of patronizing mail
order houses. In only a very few, if
any Instances, quality considered, can
goods be bought cheaper from them
and brought here than from local
merchants. But aside from this ma
terial fact, the chief reason why trade
should not be given to the mail or
der houses is because doing business
wth them is ruinous to this commun
ity.
Mail order concerns do not contri
bute anything to the support of An
chorage. They pay no taxes nor wages
here. The money they receive from
local customers is lost to the people
here forever. In time, if their trade
prospers, they will almost deplete this
communities, as they have many
places, of cash.
No knowledge of economics is re
quired to realize that with every de
crease in available cash, local busi
ness will suffer In corresponding ra
tio. Professional practice, labor, and
real estate will rapidly follow mer
chandise in experiencing the loss of
a local market. j
The housewife that sends money
to mail order concerns is taking the
most effective means of reducing the
income of her husband, no matter
what his occupation or calling, and
of decreasing the value of the house
and lot that constitute her home. She
is tearing down, while he is trying to
build up.
Upon the prosperity of the com
munity as a whole depends the pros
perty of every person in fhe commun
ity. Depleting a community of its
money by sending it to mail order
houses operates to the misfortune of
everybody.—Anchorage Times.

as we get that “Fall Feeling” in the air telling us that winter
is not far off. A good stove that saves fuel soon pays for itself.
