Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from After Hell, What? All kinds of things are believed. Many different conditions are prophesied. Nobody knows anything about it. The condition that exists after the war will be just what human effort makes it, nothing less;, nothing more. It may be that the battle of Armageddon is to be fought, and a prophesied condition is to be ushered in. Probably. But in the meantime it is just as well for us to keep on believing in God Almighty, obeying His commands, living decently, and working like hell to improve our own lot, and the lot of everyone around us. The Socialist tells us there is going to be a general levelling up of everything, that he is going to be as good as anybody else, which he could be now if he tried, and the rest of the world wishes to heaven he would only try. The pessimist tells us that there is going to be a regular smash - that is the kind of thing the pessimist glories in. The fly will buzz in the manure heap and then land in our sugar bowl. The banker insists that there will be a tremendous tightening of finances, that money will be scarce. There will be if he can make it, for that is profitable to him. Bankers long years ago told us that a great war could not last more than a few months - that the money wouldn´t last. The war has lasted years, and we have just as much money in the world today as when the Kaiser went crazy. Money is not greater than human endeavor, bankers are not superior to common clay, and there is more clay than bankers. The optimist tells us that the stock of manufactured goods is so low that an immediate revival of business must follow the war. Amongst them all, many of our people are groping, not knowing what to do, trusting to others and luck, and doing nothing themselves to create that condition which will enable us to bridge over the period of reconstruction which must follow a declaration of peace. What is going to happen, barring Armageddon and all that goes with it? Will we be face to face with a financial condition similar to that which faced us in 1914? Hardly. We were then looking right into the mouth of hell, and dead uncertainty faced us. Money dreads nothing worse than uncertainty.
