SECRETARY OP TREASURY DE¬
CLARES THERE SHOULD BE
“DAYS OF REJOICING, CONFI¬
DENCE AND RIGH RESOLVE.”
ATLANTA, Ga., March 1—Business
need not fear for the future, accord¬
ing to a communication received to¬
day at :,the headquarters of the war
savings stamp organization of Geor¬
gia from the new secretary of the
Treasury Carter Glass, who presents
a forceful and interesting summary of
conditions in this country at the pres¬
ent. Secretary Glass declares that
“instead of days of dark foreboding,
these should be days of rejoicing, of
confidence and jiigh reslove. He says
to begin with:
“A thing difficult to understand is
the reactionary spirit Which, in some
quarters, seems to have seized hold
of American business. It manifests
itself in a gloomy and pessimistic
view of the future i nno way justified
by conditions present or discernible,
and in a disposition to cavil at the
further expeditures the government is
under the necessity of making in or
der to liquidate the war.
Secretary Glass says further that
“America is least injured $ any of
In the the nations death which grapple took with an ald^ve autocracy
on the soil of Flanders and France.
Except for the sixty thousand who
gave their lives and the other thou
vastated our homes and factories have
not been razed, famine does not stalk
among us. In all material things, the
nation is richer and stronger than it
Was before we went to war.”
“Consider if the war had lasted an¬
other year what would have beerfi our
state. Instead of sixty thousand dead
we likely would have had hundreds of
thousand^. In time we might have
equalled the record of France, with
her two millions slain. And yet some
of us grumble because the govern¬
ment must spend further money to
maintain the comfort and bring home
in safety those boys whose lives were
spared. , attention to
Secretary Glass draws
the fact that the ending of the war
has enabled congress to write off the
books of the nation fifteen billions of
dollars, but declares that even had it
been necessary to make these huge
expenditures the nation would not
have been brought to ruin. He says,
toward the close of his communiea
tion:
“Those Americans who today have
joined the carpers and the quibblers
are not worthy of the name. They are
not worthy of the boys they sent forth
to make, if need be, the supreme sac¬
rifice that Liberty might live. It is
incomprehensible to me that any of
the men who gave their sons so glad¬
ly and so proudly to their country in
its hour of peril should turn so quick¬
ly to cold and calculating contempla¬
tion of the dollar. Had the war con¬
tinued, they would, with equal pride,
have offered other sons and would
have continued to give of their
wealth ungrudgingly. Now that the
coming of peace has restored their
sons to them, will they tighten up
their purse strings and adopt an at¬
titude wheih would seem to say: ‘Let
the government go hand. t >»
