M'ADOO MAKES
REPORT OF U. S.
WAR FINANCES
Cost of Fifteen Months Is
Thirteen Billions, But
Some Is Permanent-
ly Invested. '
Washington, Dec. 4. The finan
cial history of America's part in the
; war is set forth by Secretary Mc
Adoo in his annual report drafted
efore his resignation, and made
public today by the treasury. It, is
the history of how the American
people paid billions in taxes.-raised
four great Liberty loans and created
' a tremendous pool of credit with
, which the treasury, through its
many war agencies, paid the bills of
' the army and navy, the shipping
; board and .other government depart
ments, loaned billions to the allies
! and. millions to war industries, help
' ed support the families of soldiers
and sailors and tided farmers over
; periods of financial stringency.
' The payment into the treasury of
; ' vast sums Sn war taxes ana1 from
; bond sales," said Secretary' McAdoo,
' 'and the transformation of our var
ied and complex economic life to
the supreme task of winning the war
have been accomplished without
shock of financial disturbances. The
credit and business structure of the
nation remains sound and strong.
The results of the four Liberty loans
are a tribute to the patriotism of
the American people and to the
economic strength of the nation."
Final Accounting.
The report constitutes Secretary
, McAdoo's' final accounting of his
' Stewardship before retiring as, the
: nation's finance minister. Through
out the report. Mr. McAdoo
refers repeatedly to the remarkable
achievements of America's, civilian
population in providing the money
and materials for war, and acting as
the "eager second line of defense."
.-Commenting on the showing of
financial arrangements in great de
tail by the document, treasuy
librarians recalled that the financial
history of the Civil war is buried in
a great stack of musty ledgers, and
probably never will be officially
compiled.
For the. fifteen months ending last
June 30, Secretary McAdoo esti
mated that the actual cost of the
war, with allowances for the gov
ernment's ordinary expenses in ordi
nary times, amounted to $13,222,
(100,000. Nealy half of1 this, or $6
W.OOOsflOO, went Into permanent in
vestments, in the form of ships,
shipyards, war vessels, army camps,
buildings, and ln-lfans to allies or
to American war industries. Of the
year's expenses 31.6 per cent came
from taxation.
, How It Was Spent.
The civil establishment of the
government during the year spent
$1,507,000,000, while the War de
partment sent $5,684,000,000 and
the navy $1,368,000,000. For support
of the army alone the government
paid out $4,412,000,000. The naval
expenditures included the construc
tion of new vessels, machinery,
armament, equipment and improve
ments at navy yards. Total ordinary
disbursements for the year amount
ed to $8,966,000,000 and ordinary re
ceipte, excluding money received
front Liberty loans, amounted to
- $4,174jOCO,000. Loans to allies dur
ing the year amounted to $4,739,
C0O.000 additional.
Looking forward. Secretary Mc
Adoo found great difficulty in fore
casting expenditures ror the current
fiscal year, which ends next June
0, on account of the sudden com-
i lg of peace. Estimates which he
presented are based on calculations
of each department in advance of
. revisions since the signing of the
armistice and he does not consider
them reliable. With this explana
tion Mr. McAdoo forecast expendi
tures for this year at $20,687,000,000
for government purposes and $4,375,
000,001) for loans to allies and $2,540,
000,000 for redemption of outstand
ing certificates and other debt can
cellation. Total estimated disburse
ments for the year were put at $27,-
. 7J 8,000,000.
Estimato May Be High.
Against this estimate, which actual
expenses at the rate of a little more
than a billion and a-half dollars a
month to date indicate is too high,
Mr. McAdoo calculated' that the
government will receive about $5,
'tOO.000,000 before the end of the
fiscal year -next June 30, from in
come and profits taxes, $1,100,000
000 from other taxes. $190,000,000
from customs and $555,000,000 from
miscellaneous sources, including
$7,000,000 from ' increased" postage,
making estimated receipts from or
, dinary sources' $6,846,000,000. In
. iddition, lie figured roughly on a
little more than, $5,000,000,000 from
further issues of Liberty bonds and
$1,200,000,000 from war. savings.
These -figures added to , receipts
from Liberty loan bonds already
sold make '$14,168,000,000, the total
of popular borrowings expected
during the year. On this basis total
estimated receipts would be $21,
022,000,000 or $6,695,000,000 less
than tentative estimates of dis
bursements. Actual developments
ire expected to change these cal
culations greatly.
Concerninsr the tremendous part
Dlayed by the . federal riserve" sys
tem during tne war. secretary Ale
Adoo had this to say: ,
v "The federal reserve system has
permitted the enormous transactions
connected with the financing of the
war to be carried through without
shock or disturbance and its services
will not be less important to the
government and to the nation in fa
cilitatin? the readjustment from a
war basis to a peace basis and to
assist and foster thereafter the
development of agriculture, in
dustry and commerce under normal
peace conditions. v
Few. Bonds Converted.,
Mr. "McAdoo dealt at length witn
the accomplishments of the War
Risk Insurance" bureau, which has
built up an organization of 14.000
cmpJoves, necessary tor the issuance
of about 1,000,000 checks every

Write a Love Letter-JVin a Priez!
In Adelaide Kennedy's serial story "Who Stacks
My Cards," the heroine recently received a letter
"a wonderful letter," she calls it frbm her soldier
lover in France in which he says y
' "I should ba happy, even now, under fire, to know that
the cleanest-souled girl in the world is waiting to share
life's pleasures and the love which only God can bestow
upon man.
"In my blanket at night I lie dreaming of the few
evenings we spent together, recalling your ideals, your
wondarful high aims, your youthful spirit, so frank and
free, your deep, large, blue eyes that mirror a wonder
ful soul that cannot be touched by life's mud and mire.
Always I have, when I picture my country, one face be

largest life insurance concern on the
globe, having nearly $36,000,000,000
of life insurance in force."
The report discloses that Liberty
loan conversions have been made as
follows: First Liberty loan, 3J4
per cent bonds exchanged for 4 per
cent bonds, $568,320,000; First Lib
erty loan, 3'2S and 4s exchanged
for 4,t4s, $183,899,000; Second Lib-,
erty loan 4s exchanged for 4js,
$1,541, 661,000. This indicates that
most bond buyers have failed to take
advantage of the Treasury's offer
to convert past issues into bonds
bearing a higher rate of interest.
It is now too late to convert.
U. S. Grain Corporation
Not Certain to Buy the
Wheat Crop of 1919
The president's proclamation of
February 211 1918, fixing guaranteed
prices for the 1918 wheat crop ap
plies to wheat "harvested in the
United States during the year 1918
and offered for sale before the first
day of Junt, 1919, to such agent or
employe of the United States, or
other person as may be hereafter
designated" at the principal primary
markets' specified, according to
Charles T. Neale, second vice presi
dent of the food , administration
grain corporation.
The food administration grain
corporation was designated June 21,
1918, to purchase the 1918 wheat
crop and will therefore continue to
exercise that duty and obligation
even though peace should be signed
prior to June 1. 1919. The food con
trol act provides that termination of
the act shall not affect any obliga
tion accrued or accruing during its
existence and the purchase of, the
1918 wheat crop is such an obliga
tion. ' The president's proclamation of
September 2, 1918, establishing'
guaranteed prices for the 1919 wheat
crop applies to wheat harvested in
the. United States during 1919 and
offered for sale before June 1. 1920:
Thus, although the guarantee for
the 1919 wheat crop will continue
until Jane 1, 1920, there is no present
assurance it will be purchased or
handled by the food administration
grain corporation. ' -

Henry Monsky of Omaha, and
Rabbi J. J. Singer of Lincoln, dele
gates, leave December 12 to attend
sessions of the Jewish congress,
which convenes in Philadelphia De

Recognition of Golden Rule in
Business Urged Strong
ly by Secretary of
Commerce.
Atlantic City, N. J., Dec. 4. "If
it is permitted meJo urge a few
words of practical Advice to Ameri
can industry, I should say to them:
Beware of the temptation haatily to
lay rash hands uporr wages," said
Secretary of Commerce William C.
Redfield, in addressing the recon
struction congress of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States
today. '
Continuing, Mr. Redfield said:
"Find and seize hold upon all that
science has said or can say concern
ing industry. The responsive power
of well paid and contented labor to
far sighted leadership in industry is
the greatest force in production and
happy are they who have it behind
them.
Must Maintain Large Army.
"Our near future foreign policy is
affected by arrathe factor, namely
the capacity of the world's shipping.
We have got to feed the world for
a while and it is going to take ships
to carry the food. We must. supply
the world with much equipment and
raw material and that is going to
take ships to carry them. We have
got to keep a large army large as
we call armies on the other side,
for some lime to come, and they
wilLJiave to be fed and furnished
with supplies. We do not know
what is behind the Russian veil. A
job may need to be done there that
we dare not leave undone we hope
not but we must have a consider
able army abroad not half our pres
ent one, but still a considerable
force, aryl they must be fed and
supplied.
Golden Rule of Business. '
"Soberly looking at it. I think that
every ship the world has and can
get has all of its carrying capacities
taken for the next two years to
come.
"Let we say to you with entire
frankness that we are in a certain
sense at a commercial parting of the
ways. The officer of" a great manu
facturing concern has said, 'Democ
racy in commerce would prompt us
to recognize the rights of our for
eign competitors and to seek the
welfareof those with whom we
trade in order that we may continue
to share in a welfare to which we
contribute; mutual good will in
evitably follow and where good will
exist war is impossible. It pre
scribes the continual exercise of
what has been called the golden rule
