V-im-ouv<M* audience that war-did not pay. Ever since 1018 the ^'iiiic (liiiig has been said. It has bemi dinned into„our. ears,so iniiir as (o liave attained rank among tlie old sa,ws and proverbs . of ouV forefathers ; and this is as it should be, since, like most of them, it is th a t most dangerous thing; a, half truth. War is only one of the forms of competition, and, when one btisiiiess tirmenters, into competition with another in the same •line aild wins, it is seldom, if ever, tha t the victor does not reap substantial benefits from it)j success. Should the struggle liavc been long and underselling have had to be resorted to, time may be required to recoup the resultant loss, but with the uiisiii;c(?ssf\il firm elirhinated or so crippled as to have become /■111 insignificant fnctor--as is nearly.always the case--we can rest assured th a t the wjnner in the long run will make a very Kood thing out of it. So with war, which pays or does not pay in the exact pro- . portion in which the victors despoil the defeated'enemy. Of course, if we are such fools as to save an enemy froni a debacle oh the Vield by granting him; an a.rmistice, and then,"afte'r mak­ ing such a comparatively, easy peacefunder the circumstances as the Versailles Treaty,.allow most of its clauses to be broken, certainly war cannot pay. Nor would a business war, if the .successful permitted their broken competitors to recover most of them' losses, concluding by trying to set them up in. business agaim Yet tha t is what we. have done with th^ Hun. Had we made the kind, of peace Germany would have ex- , 'acted from us with the positions reversed, we would have , wrecked her country, seized'all her gold, taken alhher trade, -and-so-brokefi-her-t-hat-her-people-woiild-never-have-been-able-- to again disturb the peace^ of the world. If anyone doubts tha,t ' that would not have paid;det him study the German trade're- '. turns before 1914,:^d then consider all t̂ ^̂ insecurity .of these • post-war .'gears, which has'b'een the main cause of the depres-, ; sion, also th.e price of the present armament race, for which Germany is mainly responsible. ,. There is the case of Japan todaiy, in which connection we can be .quite certain that'as a victor,-should the fates so fa,vor. ' her, she will allow, no repetition of the Portsmouth Treaty. In ■ such a case, she will hold every square mile- of China won, and that probably the. whole of it. The immense natural resources then in her g r ia would.make her independent o f th e world, shC t;. could and would repudiate all her"Outside, debts, and ther^'4»-̂ -wou-ld-be-ftot-anu-openJbut-a-very-tig-htly-QlQ'sed-door-in-China... -- .r--ju-- .---- -- -V. ->--■ .w . */ : ' • -I ..
