ic./s vast shipbuilding program has;
, opened tile eyes of tin* world to her
tremendous possibilities, recently de
clared l’*‘ter o. Knight, vice president
and general counsel of the American
International Shipbuilding Corpora
tion. which operates the big plant at
Hog Island.
“It is the best possible evidence
that we intend to stick." he said. “The j
Japanese visitors counted the fifty)
v ays. one by one. and exclaimed:
‘Why. we have only ten more ways in
our whole country than you have in
this one yard.' And Lord Reading of
Kngland declared that it typified the
limitlessness of America.
“Others ask how we can do such
things, and they learn that at the be
ginning of the war the wealth ul the
I nited States was $25o.onn,niin.uoof
compared with $8f>.ooo.ooo,ooo as the
v ealth of Croat Britain, $ko.«hmuhmi,
00b for Cermany and JSfi.ooo.iMio.non
for France.
“We have half the total banking re
sources of the world. Since the war
began we have bought back $4.00o,
i"in.into nf securities, loaned $7,000,
noo.ooo to the allies, and extended
f r< dit to allies and business concerns
to the amount of $7,000,000,000 more
h ive carp'd on the e*il '!\g< ! bus.’
• - of the country and a war costin•;
\ us $50,000,000 a day.
“And America’s wealth has in
- creased since August, 1914. It has
=5 one-fourth of the commerce of the
it- globe and has accumulated a third
co of the gold supply of the world. So
great is the nation’s wealth that even
this war can not deplete it. Informed
Germans or citizens of other nations
can not think Germany can win with
America against her "

QUAKED STATE TO GO
OUT EARLY NEXT TEAR
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21. Practi
cally a dry Pennsylvania is looked fori
some time in advance of July 1, 1919,
the date set for national war time pro-1
hibltlon. In Philadelphia the, license
to sell liquor expires on June 1 The
privilege costs nearly $1,200. and the
authorities do not anticipate that
many saloonkeepers will care to pay
that much for the privilege of dis
pensing liquor for one month.
Similarly, in the interior towns,;
where the present licenses expire on]
April 1, the feeling prevails that few !
liquor sellers will feel that they cam
afford to pay more than $500 for the1
three months' privilege.
