“Direct and Indirect Costs” of the Great War
naa --.a •
THE first comprehensive report on the “direct and indirect costs of the war”
has just been made by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
After taking each of the countries separately, those on both sides, and then
summarizing the total direct and the
total indirect costs, the report gives
the direct cost as $186,000,000,000, and
states that the indirect costs “have
amounted to almost as much more.”
The capitalized value of soldier
human life, which is given among the
“indirect” costs, is placed at $33,551,
276,280.
^ The property losses are divided as
follows: On land, $29,960,000,000; to
shipping and cargo, $6,800,000,000.
Loss of production is an indirect cost
vof the war which has meant to the nations $45,000,000,000. War relief added
J $1,000,000,000.
The loss to neutrals through the indirect cost to them is placed at $1,750,
000,000. The total indirect costs to all nations, those engaged in the war and
the neutrals, is $151,612,542,560.
i ' In addition to the $33,551,000,000 given as the economic worth of those5
: who lost their lives or were injured in actual warfare, an equal amount is
fallowed for civilian losses.
The number of known dead is placed at 9.998,771, and the presumed dead
at 2,991,800. To (he losses from death and wounds there are added “those
f resulting from disease, pestilence, privation, hardship, physical exhaustion
