But in co-operation with the navies of France and Greece, :Italy could maintain the balance of 'power In the Mediterranean and con- ‘sohdate the opposition of the Balâ€" ékans to Austria-Hungary."

France made the same mistake in 1866, lettmg Prussia crush Austria, and being left alone to meet the Prussian attack in 1870. “The immediate cause of the war is probably German 'and Austrian alarm at the recovery of Russia from herde.eat by Japan.” Rear Admiral Alfred T. Malian, U. S. N., retired, who is éonsidered the highest authority in the world on naval history and strategu, is of the opinion that Britain must join France and Russia unless she wants to Sacrifice the future of her empireI to the interests of the present gener- ation. In an interview he said: “England should _take warning from the example of Russia. in 1805, when that nation permitted Napo~ [eon to overwhelm Austria, gnd then herde.eat by Japan." With regard to the probable nan: strategy of the war, the admiral de- clared that the decisive sea fight would probably take place Very soon in the North Sea, and that England might be expected to win It.

It is well to be prudent, to eschew guxury, to (“mid overâ€"prOdUCâ€" tion, and to provide means for help- ing the specially unfortunate. Hav- ing said this we have said it all. The sun will shine, the harvests will ripen, all the staple commodities will have to be produced, and there will be just as muCh fOOd and money in Canada next February as there was last February. Fear is one of the greatest forces which operates in the human breast. In its two forms of worry and of terror, it shapes much of the course of guman conduct. Its chosen agent is the imagination. Its chief activity is crossing bridges before one comes to them. Canaduins are showmg symptoms of an acute attack ‘of‘economic neur- asthenia. No one can accuse us of Ming afraid to fight. Show us a German and we‘ will tackle him With- out hemtation. What we are afraid to do is to‘lgo on living. Instead of comnosedly and cheerfully taking up (‘ach day a task as the day appears, we are trembling in anticipation of Imaginable scarcity and poverty. It is not hard times that we expect, we have them already. It is not sim- ply hard times made harder 13y war. We could understand that and meet it. It is times so stark and inflexible that iron Is in comparison as a sponge and the traditional poker pli- ant as a thread. More prosaically, it is something formless, vast and ghostly, the more dreadiul because our reason mves it no shape. If we were all to be doomed to death by starvation we should scarcely be more frightened. If anything will prec1pitate finan- cial disaster it is this mood of dread. President Wilson has vigor- ously pointed this truth out to our neighbors in the south. Our economic ills, like some of our physical ail- ments, are born and incubated “in our thinking. When householders get panic-stricken and buy flour;by the half dozen barrels instead of by the bag the price of flour must go up. The demand exceeds the supply and prices must rise. What seems to be a Vindication of the forethought is on- ly a consequence oi the folly. When merchants, manufacturers, loan comâ€" panies and banks run for shelter, their flight transforms the wind into a whirlwind. When everybody pre- dicts economic woe a false prudence is developed which defeats itsell. People seek to save money and get no money to save. Consider: the dearth is more likely to follow the war than to accom~ pany it. And then it can be more ad» Vantageously met. when the stress and frenZy of the fighting is past. War makes work in many ways. Enormous sums of money are dis- tributed to the producers of many articles. Farmers manutacturers of boots and clothing, coal miners and all the middlemen who handle these things will be uncommonly busy. The taking of so many men out of their jobs opens doors to the unemployed. It is when the war is closed and the disbanded troops come home that the trouble is to be expected.

It is to defeat such scurrilous avarice, it- self terrified yet preying on the ter- ror of others, that the British Gov- ernment has taken over the flour mills of Britain. Let it be repeated that this is a time for economy. It is also a time for heroic efiort to keep the business of the country going. It ‘is a time to shorten sail, or to run the screw at half speed. It is. not a time to put on a life-preserver and take to the rafts.

AS mun or WAR Nearly everybody appears to be under the impression that War is a boon to the press and that, while other interests sufier, the press flouâ€" rishes on the alarms and excitements of such a world tragedy as islnow being enacted. Nothing could be further from the truth, and The Star desires to, make. a statement on the subject that will clear away: a popular misconception that does the newspapers an injus- tice. Instead of being a source of profit to the press the war is a direct, heavy, and continuous source of loss. The newspaper publishing indus. try is one'of the first business in the city to be injuriously affected. If he will; give the subject a little rcflee tion any business man will see that this must be so.
