Excerpt from Preliminary Economic Studies of the War
President studv is one of the series of preliininarv var studies planned the Carnegie Endowment for Inter national l'eace to assist in showing' our own people some of the early experiences, policies. And effects of the war. It sets forth the tinancial experience of (ireat Britain from the beginningr of the war to the spring of llllb'. The attention of the student of llritish efforts and experience will be arrested at once bv several important points in the story. He will he struck first with the immensity of the burden which the British people have volun tarily assumed in defense of their empire. Their ideals and their international obligations. If before the war anyone had prophe sied that even so wealthy a people as the British could or would submit to war expenditures on so stupendous a scale. He would have been laughed at. A second point that will impress itself is that in Spite of the arguments of Block and writers of his school. The mounting expense of modern war is not. After all, a very strong,r or primarv deterrent of conflict. The third point which will arrest attention is the financial strength and resourcefulness of the British Empire. Her far-flung battle line is paralleled bv her far-thing commercial and financial line of influence and power. As her children have gathered from all quarters of the world to her defense in battle, so her financial resources have come from equallv diverse and distant quarters to support them. Without her foreign investments to draw on Britain would undoubtedly have been seriously crippled before this. Still again, one will be struck with the fact that this burden of taxa' tion has been borne cheerfullv, in accordance with the determina tion of the people and their government to pursue their purpose in the war to a conclusion.
