DR. YAN HISE TALKS
OF BURDENS OF WAR
Excessive Taxation and Repudia
tion Only Solution of Great
Financial Problem.
RICH, RICHER AND POOR, POORER
CHICAGO. Jan. 20. European
r debta call for three alternatives
exrenBlve taxation, repudiation or
a combination of thoae two accord
ing to Charles R. Van Hlee, presi
dent of the University of Wisconsin,
who discussed "The National Debts
of the United Kingdom, Germany
and France and Their Economic
Significance" before the National
Association of Credit Men here to
day. "I am not asserting which of these
three things jrlll happen," he added. "I
am only nolntlns out tha alternatlvea
wh; ;h are before the nationa which have
assumed theae gigantic burdens.
"Vast Industrial changes have occurred
during the war under which the govern
ments have assumed far-reaching func
tlona, which In advance of the war would
have been called highly socialistic. Reg
ulation In Germany exists not only to the
control ot prices for almost every essen
tial article, but In regard to the distribu
tion of food. To a leaa extent the same
principles have been supplied In other
belligerent nations.
May Heroine Permanent.
"To these radical measures the people
will have become in a certain measure
accustomed, by the end of the war, and
some of them may become permanent.
On the other hand. If these measures are
opposed to the best development of the
human race. It may be that the galling
bonda to which the people assented dur
ing the war will be resented after Us
close.
"One cannot be sure in which direction
the pendulum will move, but we may be
sure that the social transformation fol
lowing the war, in consequence of the
war Itself and the unexampled burden of
debt upon the people will be at a speed
never before approached."
Drbte Now Ten Billion.
Tresldenf Van Hise began by present
ing estimates of the national debta of
Great Britain, France and Germany be
fore the war and at the end of 1915,
giving the latter total aa 110,09.000.000 for
the United Kingdom, r.S7B,00O,0uO for
Germany and 110,614,000,000 for France.
He pointed out that theae flgurea did not
Include the local debta of theae nationa,
which at the beginning of the war were
about 13.236,000,000 for Great Britain.
$3,866,000,000 for Germany and tl,17.000,000
for France. He also pointed out that
additional loans are in prospect. He
added, In part:
"The magnitude of these debts will be
appreciated when It la recalled that the
maximum debt of the United States at
the end of the civil war. at that time the
moat coloaaal debt to which any nation
had ever been aubject, waa $2,758,00,000,
or about one-fourth the existing debts
of the United Kingdom or France.
Intereat Ckararea Eaoraaona.
"The new loana are being negotiated
on a basis of 6 per cent or more, and the
old loan are being rapidly converted to
higher ratea of Intereat. Therefore It ia
aafe to aay that the intereat charge upon
the debts of the thre nations is approx-.
tmately ( per cent. Consequently the
national debta Involve annual Intereat
charges for tha United Kingdom of $621,
000,000, for Germany $364,000,000 and for
France $626,000,000.
"In the cnlted State there has been a
great outcry In regard to high taxes,
and especially In fAsTsaVril sta 4 nftAm a av
Huppoae It were necessary to take 10 per
cent of the income derived from your In
veated capital simply to pay the Intereat
on the national debt without taking Into
aocount the interest on muniein.i .
other local debta and for alnklng funda
ir national ana local debts; and then
you were obliged to pay In addition taxea
for running expensea of the government,
national, atate and local, you would then
be in the situation in which are the peo
ple of the United Kingdom. Germany and
France, even If the war were now to end;
and If It continue another year, or year
and a half, as It mav noaaihiv a ik.
above flgurea will be proportionately in-
vcnauiiy oy nair, and possibly
more than half.
Heneflflartaa Are Minority.
"The equity in the wealth of a nation
due to Ita debt might not be regarded by
those who believe In socialism aa .
oua matter If the certificates were equallv
uiBiriDtuea. but while the governments
have a mortgage upon mare than m n..
cent fit the wealth of the naUona. the
ueneuctarjea, are the favored minority
who are fortunate enough to possess tha
bonda of the country.
"The result Is that, relative! v. at h
end of the war the rich will be richer and
me poor poorer. And the absolute physi
cal wealth will be decreased because
money spent for munitions, which are
wholly deatroyed: for runa. whieh r.nMi
deteriorate; for fighting ahlpa, which are
oi no economic value, la money wasted.
Not only have the war materials been
deatroyed. but in their consumption other
property has been destroyed upon a co
lossal scale.
"Probably, however, a much larger loss
of European Wealth haa been due to the
aale of American aecurltlee which have
been absorbed by thla country, and their
replacement by certificates of the war
debt. Their total is unknown; but their
magnitude Is to be measured In thousand
of millions of dollars.
"For Russia. Austria-Hungary. Turkey
and Bulgaria, the situation is very sim
ilar to that for the United Kingdom, Oer
many and France; and for torn of the
smaller countries, euch aa Belgium,
ferbla and Poland, the situation la im
measurably worse. They are aa near ruin
as was ever a modern uation."

NEW SPIRIT OF TOLERATION
Sr. Thomas Nicholson Discusses
New Development in Science
at College Conference.
GREATER EFFICIENCY NEEDED
CHICAGO. Jan. ?.-The church needs
Ihe colleges and the colleges need the
church according to Rev. Dr. Thnma
N'.i hol.Mon, corresponding secretary of the
Hoard of Olucation, the Methodist Kpis
copal church. Dr. Nicholson spoke here
tonight before the fifth annual meeting
of the Council of Church Hoards of Kdu
catlon, an organization in which fourteen
denominations are represented. He ex
plained in detail the campaign which the
council haa undertaken to "create a new
sense of the value of the religious cle
ment In education," savins; in part:
"The ainasinK literary, historic and
scientific accumulations of recent years
has led to a state of perplexity In the
face of certain religious problema for
which traditional conceptions are no
longer adequate. Many views formerly
believed to Involve grave moral issuea
have all but disappeared after bitter
struggles: others have slipped out " of
thought unawares. A new spirit of
toleration also haa come with the Influx
cf vast foreign population.
"The church needs what the colleges
stand for because If religion Is to be
preserved the convictions of its Worth
must come from a reasoned confidence
that It is coherent, consistent with human
experience and adaptable to each new
addition to the stock of human knowl
edge. Theology, if Its honored place
among the sciences Is to be maintained,
must be progressive with its determina
tions reached by scientific methods.
"The college and hl-jher education gen
erally sadly need religion. The religious
impulse and the Christian ideal are
among the most potent Influences known
to man for saving a college life from
the purely mercenary, uselessly social,
Icily selfish, sodden sensual elements."
Dr. Nicholson plesdcd that colteges be
more amply endowed.
"It Is almost a crime, with our wealth
and opportunities to leave our young
people to be the prey of cheap and In
efficient colleges," he said.
The speaker added that the campaign
would be conducted not through big con
ventions "which have pretty much had
tholr day," but by gatherings of leaders
In thought and through existing' organl
tatlona In Sunday schools, colleges and
In the homes directly.

SECURITY LEAGUE
TALK OFDEFENSE
Speakers Assail Foreign Policy of
United States as Weak and
Insufficient.
NAVAL PROGRAM INADEQUATE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. Secre
tary Daniels' naval program waa as
sailed as weak aud insufficlnct, and
tbe country's foreign policy waa at
tacked as having created a situation
vhore an American citizen's lift of
Ute had "scarcely enjoyed the con
sideration accorded that of a Turkey
buzzard in the land to the south of
us" by speakers at today's sessions
oT the National Security league con
vention. "This Is not a time to mince words,"
declared President P. Ptanwood Menken,
In his opening address, "but to state
coldly the fact so as to let the country
know, who are for the country first, as
distinguished from those who are for
themselves and their own selfish ad
vancement." Secretary Daniels' recommendations,
he said, did not go sufficiently far.
"His program Is weak and insufficient
for the needs of the country and It must
be borne In mind that the navy he reo
comended will not be built tinder his
plan till the expiration ot ten years.. If
we need a navy at all, we new It now.
"The present congressional situation
is particularly menacing," he continued,
"owing to the fact that the majority
leader of the house Is opposed to the
recommendations of the chief magistrate
and finds support In the position taken
by W. J. Bryan. Mr. Bryan's view, ac
cording to his supporters, is based on
sentiment. To my mind It Is merely an
other proof of his notorious inability for
direct or hard thinking on any grave
matter."
ntral Right Mere Name.
"Neutral rights become a mere name
when neutral nationa cannot or will not
combine to maintain them." declared
Frederic R. Coudert of New Tork, "and
the. voice of an unarmed, timid, hesitant
United States may carry little more
weight in the world of public opinion
than the quarulous protest of Persia or
rem."
