TIME FOR GERMANY
 TO OOUTLINE COURSE
Socialists Want to Know How Gov crnmcnt Will Raise Money to Pay
 Interest on War Debts.

l Amsterdam, Dec. 20, via London, 1 1O:5O a. m.-Reviewing the recent 1 speech on Gcrmany's financial cond.- 1 ton which Dr. Karl Helfferich, secre- 1 tary of the treasury, made before the l Reichstag, the Berlin socialist news l paper Vorwaerts asserts the time has come for the German government ana l the Reichst;> to indicate in what way l the mon, ,y necessary for payment Of interest on the nations gigantic war debts and to provide for their re- demption is to be raised. It says:
 With the new war credit of ten bil- lion marks, the German war debt reaches forty billion marks, which, ac- Cording to Dr. HelfferiCh, should last until the end of March. Interest on forty billion marks amounts to two billion marks annually and for re-
 demption, which is necessary in order to maintain the credit of the emplre, another 500, ,00O,OO0 marks is needed The Vorwacrts considers it essential
 that the empires income be more than doubled to meet these obligations and
 thhe current expenses. Before the war, it says, the financial condition of Germany was a source of anxiety to the government In 1900 the taxation was increased by 500,O0O,0O0 marks but the budget did not balance. In 1913 the government adopted the eX- traordinary measure of taxing wealth and levying a non-recurrent contribu- ton for armament in order to covcr the deficit
 Maintainenance of the existing financial system. the Vorwaerts con- tinues is impossible so far as taxation of imports is concerned. Provisions, raw materials and many other articles
 may be expected to rise in price af- ter the war, and if the present tariff
 were continued it would lead to an
 artificial increase of prices for Ger many which would undermine the ca
 pability of German industry to com
 pete in the world market.
 "Thcrefore," the interests of con-
 sumers and producers the Vorwaerts
 concludes, "demand abolition of these
 import taxes after the war, which
 would reduce Germany's income con
 siderably: and therefore the time has
 come for the government to declare
 what course it is steering"
