European Wars Cannot Hurt American Prosperity
Common sense and reason assures every business of the sound condition of America, in spite
of the present disturbance in Europe, the situation in this country is so sound in every way that
there is not the slightest cause for depression. The Finances and Banking interests of were never
the United States in as good shape as at present. No man can say how long the European
war may last, but it can only be a matter of a few months. A glance at the history of all wars
within the past fifty years, shows that under modern conditions it is impossible for any nation or
group of nations to maintain a conflict at arms for any lengthy period. The forces brought to
bear are too great, the methods employed too deadly, the mere financial cost too heavy. No nation
or country can long PAY THE PRICE of war. Every possible interest is in favor of Peace.
England’s Mills will run, they must have cloth and they have no cotton ahead. America is the
only nation to supply them. Then there is the whole European countries who will be compelled
to draw on the mills of the United States for their clothing. As our government has hastened to
make arrangements to export cotton and cotton fabrics to foreign governments, there is a big
probability that America will immediately take steps toward increasing her own output of manu
factured cotton goods. She ought to put in an extra spindle for every idle one across the sea.
