Financial Losses
May Force End
of World War
NEW YORK, August 12.—(By
mail)—The warring nations of Eur
ope are at their last stand, as they
enter today upon the third year of
the conflict.
Two years of prodigal expendi
tures, of enormous losses and of in
decisive victories and defeats have
led up to the final phase of the great
struggle which discloses neither side
able as yet to dictate terms to the
other. The Allies and the Central
empires have not even decided among
themselves as to the details of their
own terms. This must be the prin
icpal work of their statesmen during
the third year of the war.
The two years of conflict have dem
onstrated that in a war as complex as
is the European struggle, other forc
es besides those controlled by the mil
itarists play an increasingly import
ant part in the final outcome. The
present war map, showing the Ger
man lines extending far into enemy
countries, and showing also the loss
of Germany’s colonial empire, is but
one element that must enter into any
discussion of peace. Lines on either
side may hold, but once, the enemy
establishes a definite superiority in
man-killing power, this fact will have
a new bearing on peace negotiations.
Three other influences are at work
in the final phase of the war: finan
cial, economic and food. Financial
ly, Europe at large is approaching a
limit of impossible taxation after the
war, to pay the interest on the money
now being so readily borrowed under
the influence of patriotic fervor.
Belligerent statesmen are entering
upon the third year of the war with
serious financial misgivings that will
probably stimulate interest in peace
as new ^borrowings of billions become
necessary. It is practically certain
that in some of the warring nations,
thinly disguised socialistic seizures
of property will have to be made, to
pay the war bills, even if the war
doesn’t last a day longer. If peace
continues to be evasive far into the
third year of the war. there will be
few countries that in the end will be
able to avoid widespread confiscation.
Economically, the two years of
warfare have not been disastrous for
any of the principal belligerents.
Workingmen’s wages, in general,
have risen highpr than the increased
cost of living. The dispatch of so
many millions of men to the front
and the use of so many millions more
in munitions’ factories, have caused a
scarcity of ordinary labor through
out Europe.
The Central empires, however, will
'eel a serious economic strain when
he war is over, because their supply
of raw materials is rapidly becoming
exhausted. The Allies have been able
:o import raw materials continuously
during the war, while Germany and
Austro-Hungary have had to live on
their reserves. How to purchase raw
mat. rials from abroad in sufficient
quantities to provide for the millions
of Teuton soldiers returning to work
shops and factories after peace is de
clared, will present a serious prob
lem for Berlin and ienna to solve.
For two years the supply of food
in the Teutonic countries has been
constantly dropping. The enforce
ment of a low dietary scale upon the
Germans has undoubtedly had some
depressing moral effects, but there is
as yet no evidence that actual star
vation for the mass of the people is
imminent. If the Russian armies,
however, can reach the grain fields
and cattle pasturages of Hungary and
Galicia before the August harvesting
is over, the Teutons may yet be starv
ed into surrender. But as the third
year of the war begins, it seems as
if the Russian offensive started too
late to accomplish this objective.
HISTORY OF MEDIATION.
Has Averted 47 Strikes Since Board
Was Created in 1913.
The United States Board of Media
tion and Conciliation, which has been
called upon by the railroads to pre
vent a national strike, was created on
July 15, 1913, by act of congress. Its
members were appointed by President'
Wilson three days later, and they J
acted in the railroad strike situation
of 1913, and a strike was averted. I
According to the act under which it
was created, the purposes of the board
are: “To settle by mediation, concil- J
iation and arbitration all controversies |
concerning wages, hours of labor, or
conditions of employment that may j
arise between any common carriers
] engaged in the transportation of pas-1
sengers or property (in interstate
commerce) and their employes.”
The services of the board may be |
i sought by either or both sides. Both
i sides must consent before it may act.
' (It has no peremptory powers. In the
147 cases in which the board has been
j successful, 39 were settled by media
tion and eight by arbitration.
I Its members are William L. Cham
jbers, chairman; Martin A. Knapp,
i and G. W. W. Hangar.
