Uncle Samuel is explain
ing to Brother Jonathan
how to bring the Europ
ean war to a successful!
termination. We have
conscripted men to fight;
N#w let’s conscript wealth
to pay
For the sake of humanity and civi
lization we have gone into this right
eous will' and we ould pursue if
■with every ounce of our force. By
a large issue of bonds we have provid
ed quickly for the early expenses and
for the relief of our allies. We have
decided as a nation for conscription,
the only possible way to assure a
modern and effective army.
Sow, who shall pay for this war?
Those who can afford to pay, or
thoad that can't? Those that can
pay for it in money, or those who
must pay for it in life-long toil for
thorn selves and life-long misery for
their families?
Siial we pay for it with easli in hand
and tie through with it. ar shall we
pay for it this year and next and
all other years, generation after gen
'Cration, century after century, our
children and grandchildren. their
children and their grandchildren,
bound to the frig;,Lilli burden of it,
age after age?
Kverything for the future of this
country depends upon the way we
choose now.
The original issue of $7,000,000,000
of bands, made at the autset of the
war. was undoubtedly necessary, hut if
we continue through the war to issue
bonds.as a. policy, it means that we put
tlie load of the war upon those that
can't afford it.
Bonds, the enormous amount of them
that would be necessary, mean stu
pendous interest charges.
- This would nean that those that
suin't afford it must work and earn
n<ni«jy to pay the inti, rest to those
tli.it fip* afford to buy the bonds.
This, v-n r and next year and every
year. This gentration and thi next
generation and every generation. The
interest op the $7,000,000,000 it, bonds
already authorized will lie $245,000,000.
; a year.
•These must lie paid by taxes, and
there is no way by which taxes can lie
paid except out of production.
The producers of Great Britain to
day are still earning the money to
j,Hy the Interest on the debt tilled up in
lth*‘ wars with Napoleon, more than
... hundred years ago.
They and their fathers and grand
fathers and great-grandfathers have
paid until they have paid the prin
cipal of that del it five times oyer.
The terrible poverty that for cen
turies lias blighted Great Britain, the
t rrlhle slums, the terrible and hope
less state of the working population
are due in part to the apalllng error
that pays for wars with bond issues in
stead of cash.
But all the debts created b.\ the
Napoleonic wars were small compared
with the colossal debt which we dill
create if we adopt the policy of bor
rowing from the future to pay for this
war.
If we repeat Great Britain’s folly
of ;l century ago wes hall bring upon
this nation a curse inevitably greater,
we shall blast all the future and poison
all the lives of the millions and millions
that are to follow us.
Poverty will come upon the masses
of this country, a depth and horror of
ltoverty that we have never dreamed
of. We shall bring down upon the
nation the measureless curse of slums
and all that slums mean, we shall
produce here one vast class that holds
these bonds and bike the fruit of the
worker’s sweat and the price of the
workers’ misery.
There is no sense in it. The wealth
of this country is estimated at 250
billions ;our annual income is be
tween 40 and 50 billions.
With these vast reservoirs of wealth
to draw from, why should we incur
a burden of debt to pay for this war?
Bet us pay as we go! In this just
ami fighteaus cause we may, and
probably will, be cajlcd upon to give
the lives of thousands. To pour forth
blood and cling to hoarded money
would mean that this country had lost
its wits as well as its sense of jus
tice.
There is but one way of safety
honesty and reason. Wo have con
scripted men to fight, if need be to
die, we now must conscript wealth.
And we must begin by conscripting
the suplus wealth of the rich and the
well-to-do.
Having passed the president’s army
bill, the most important question now
before congress in this question of
fixing the policy for financing the
war. (lCx) I
THE CRIME OF POVERTY
The things of things l should like
to show you is that poverty is a
crime. 1 do not mean that it is a
crime to be poor. Murder is a crime,
but it is not a crime to be a murderer;
and a man who is in poverty I look
upon not as a criminal in himself, so
much as the victim of a crime for
which others, us well, perhaps, as
himself, are responsible. That pov
erty is a curse, the bitterest of curses,
wc at know. Carlyle was right when
lie said that the hell of which Eng
lishmen were most afraid was the hell
of poverty and this is true, not of
Englishman alone, but of people all
over the civilized world, no matter
what their nationality. It is to es
i till *o this hell that we strive and
strain and struggle, and work on «.f
ten-time in blind habit long after tiro
necessity for work is gone. Therefore,
1 hold that poverty is a criine--not
an individual crime, but a social
crime.
There is nothing in nature like this
poverty which today curses us. We
see rapine in nature: we see one
species destroying another; but as i
general tiling' animals (lo not feed on
their kind; and. wherever we see one
kind enjoying plenty, all individuals of
that kind share it. No man, I think,
ever saw a herd of buffalo of which
a few were fat an l the great major
ity 'Win. No man e.er saw a flock of
ainls of which two or three were
swimming in grease an dtho others
ali skin and hones. Nor in sar'isf life
i- .here anything like the poverty
that f -slrrs in our civilization An *
et the peculiar characteristic of this
modern poverty of ours is. that it is
deepest where wealth most abounds.—
