SOCIALISTS ASK CHANGE
 IN FINANCIAL SYSTEM TO MEET GERM AN WAR DEBTS

Germany was a source of anxiety to the goyernh ent. In 1909, taxation was increased by. 5OO,o0o,000 marks butssthe budget didsnot balance. In 1913 the government adopted the ex- traordinary measure of taxing wealth and levying a non-recurrent contribu- ton for amendment in order to cover the deficit.
 Maintenance of the existing imam cia1 system, the Vorwaerts continues, is impossible so far as taxation of inn ports is concerned. Provisions, raw materials and many other articles may be expected to. rise, ineprice after the war and if the present tariff. were continued it would lead to an artificial increase of prices for Germany which would undermine the capa bility of German industry to compete in the world market
 Therefore, the interests of con- sumers and producers the ,Vor- waerts concludes. demand abolition of these import taxes after the war which would reduce Germanyis in come considerably ;and therefore the time has come forsthe. government to declare what course it is steering

It says:
 With the new war credit of 10.- 900, ,0oo,O 900 marks the German war debt reached 4o.0oO,0oosooo marks which, according to Dr. Hefferich. should last until the end of March, Interest on 4o,o00,oo0,o0o marks amounts to 2,o00, ,O00, ,00Og marks an nuaIly and for redemption, which is necessary in order to maintain the credit of the empire another 500. .O00,- 900. 900 marks is needed,
