Waste of any kind is very heavily punished one woman was fined $500 for throwing away stale bread. "Why not send corn abroad?" One hears the question over and over again. The answers are many. In the first place, we are sending corn over our exports of corn during March, 1918, increased 180 per cent and of corn meal 383 per cent over the pre-war average.
In that sphere, though you cannot achieve all, you might achieve much. To reduce the problem to its pre-war dimensions would be no small result; and that represents a big enough objective, for the time being, for the concentration of our hardest thinking and united efforts. But into that sphere I am not going to enter. I pass to the problem of unemployment relief.
It will be as impossible to put back British industrialism into the factories and forms of the pre-war era as it would be to restore the Carthaginian Empire. There is a new economic Great Britain to-day, emergency made, jerry-built no doubt, a gawky, weedy giant, but a giant who may fill out to such dimensions as the German national system has never attained.
Government expenditures must always share in this growth. Taking into account the factors I have mentioned, I believe that present Federal expenses are not far out of line with pre-war expenses. We have nearly accomplished the deflation. This does not mean that further economies will not come. As we reduce our debt our interest charges decline. There are many details yet to correct.
"Don't you trust me?" he demanded half sullenly, as he took a seat somewhat further removed from temptation. "My dear Derek, it would take more than a mere European war to make some leopards I know of change their spots." In spite of himself Vane laughed. "Well, dash it, Margaret, there was a distinct flavour of the pre-war about you last night." She closed her eyes, and her hands clenched.
If the population has reached sixty millions the nominal annual charge will be reduced from £7 16s. by one-half, but if prices have dropped further, say half-way, to the pre-war level, the comparable burden will still be £4 10s. per head. It is no good talking about "holidays from taxation" and imagining you can get rid of this thing easily; you won't. We are still in the war financially.
He went to his wife, to speak to her. 'Shall I join up, Winifred? She was silent. Her instinct also was dead against it. And yet a certain profound resentment made her answer: 'You have three children dependent on you. I don't know whether you have thought of that. It was still only the third month of the war, and the old pre-war ideas were still alive. 'Of course.
For some years there must be sent out of this supply upwards of 20,000,000 tons to France as compensation for damage done to French mines, and 25,000,000 tons to France, Belgium, Italy, and Luxemburg; as the former figure is a maximum, and the latter figure is to be slightly less in the earliest years, we may take the total export to Allied countries which Germany has undertaken to provide as 40,000,000 tons, leaving, on the above basis, 78,000,000 tons for her own use as against a pre-war consumption of 139,000,000 tons.
One could hardly realize that in pre-war days this had been a great and flourishing city. Just a few buildings remain standing, and those all in ruins; debris everywhere, shells constantly exploding everywhere.
From the relatively loose pre-war combination held together by common price interests, the organisation has passed through the cartel to what is now practically a form of trust. The German dye industry is now a closely woven, almost homogeneous institution.
