It would probably be a prudent estimate to place our net loss of wealth owing to the war at £3,20), 000,000, to £3,503,000,000. In at tempting to present a fair statement of the balance of loss and gain aris- ing lout of the war the extension and consolidation of the Empire must be taken into consideration, also the elimination for the time being of German competi tion, which had enabled us to build up many important industries, such as dyes, chemicals, paper, glass, on a basis that would make it very difficult for Germany or any other Power, to challenge our position in the future. We must also recognize the enormous educational effect which the war has, had upon the minds of employers, leading on the one hand, to the scrapping of old methods and obsolete machinery, and, on the other hand, to the realization that the economic organization of this country and the world must be adapted to the natural demand of labour for the humaniza tion of industrial conditions.

" OUR NATIONAL WEALTH

The whole of the assets of this country were in process of re-valua- tion in terms of the new value of money. It was impossible to say at this moment at what point prices would be stabilized, but he assumed that the real value of money.to-day for the whole of the United King dom was 40 per cent. less than in 1914. This estimate was based partly on the index prices of com- modities, partly on the rise in the cost of living. Therefore, taking his estimate of the national wealth

get

in 1912 at £16,500,009,000, if there had been no actual increase or decrease, this would represent in terms of to-day's money a sum of £27,500,000,000. Our net losses in the war, as he had said, he estimated at £3,500,000,000, leaving a balance of £24,000,000,000. The real cost of the war to the United Kingdom might be said to represent a sum which was equal to 12.8. per cent., or rather more them one-eighth of the pre-war national wealth, in terms of pre-war money, £3,500,000,000, ór in
