Cost of European Conflict For
Three Belligerents Estimated
$100,000,000 a Day. Rise Ex
pected WTien Offensive Begins.
WashiiHpton, Nov. 14. — Europe’s
war is costir>g the belligerents pos- j
sibly 100 million—a tenth of a bit-'
lion—dollars a day in current oash l
.outlay alone. Additional costs in loss-i
es of property, arms and commercial»
• )
revenue cannot be computed now. _ i
The 100 million is neither an of
ficial nor exact figure. Jt is merely
an estimate made from the bt‘st in-
formatiofr available here — and the
best is none too good.
The estimate may he far too high.
On the other hand, war costs may rise
even further, if and when wholesale
destruction of men, guns, fortifica-j
tions and shij>s begins. j
However, data from several sources'
indicates that Germany, heading the
list, may have spent $12,000,000,0001
for war by the end of her fiscal yearj
next March; Great Britain, her do
minions and colonies, at least $5,-
262,000,000; and France, using a cal
endar year fiscal period, at least
^,194,758,000 by the end of 1939.
The 100 million-dollar figure was , , , . .
computed like this: by the end Clmton high school Re<l j
