The United States has its first great victory to record as a result of the
war in Europe. It is a peaceful victory that will shed its practical
benefits into every channel of American industry and commerce.
For the first time in many years the balance of gold exchange is in
favor of this country. In other words, European purchases of American com
modities have greatly exceeded American purchases of European commodities
during the past year. This is a condition which must benefit the United States
because Europe's purchases must be paid for with European gold. This gold
coming into the United States will be distributed through all trade channels.
Such a situation should result in great business prosperity. .
Read THE LITERARY DIGEST of March 6th (on sale everywhere
to-day) and you will find a complete description of this important development,
including a reflex of public opinion as shown by the newspaper press of Europe
and America, regarding it. THE DIGEST makes plain to every reader the
tremendous importance of this rare situation in its relation to the business
conditions of the United States.
Has Japan Designs Upon China?
THE LITERARY DIGEST of March 6th, also sheds a flood of light
from authoritative sources upon this phase of world-politics in the Eastern
Hemisphere which had nearly escaped comment because of public attention
being focused upon Europe and the war.
If you would have an interesting, impartial chronicle of the war in
its many-sidedness, by all means join the million American readers who
eagerly read THE LITERARY DIGEST each week.
It is not only for war-news that it is so widely appreciated in American
homes, but because it deals with all other news of importance. in the fields of
foreign and domestic Politics, Science, Invention, Religion, Literature, Music,
Drama, Sports, Trade, and Commerce.
