AIIies Would Demand Indemnity

lust what it all means is hard to determine,
J but one Of the striking features of the
later Developments OF the war is the rcitcra-
ton of what seems to be the allies intention
TO demand tho equivalent of Il huge in
demnity from the central powers. In the
early days OF the war Germans thought and
talked OF indemnity from the allies. There
has been none Of that folly from Germany in
recent months, and now the shoe is on the
other foot.
From the outset. it has been understood
that, i'll the event of their success, the allies
would demand substantial cessions from their
opponents: Italia irredenta,' Alsace and
Lorraine Prussian Poland, and other lands
recently acquired by the central powers were
to be returned. Now, the purpose appears TO
be to 20 far beyond the original intention.
When Mr. AsQuith discussed, Il few weeks
ago, the allies plan for meeting the economic
situation after the war lie stated that one OF
tho essential conditions of peace would be
the restoration Of Belgium, Serbia and the
devastated portions of France and Belgium,
materially and economically az we'll as

IN the London Times, Sir Edward Goschen,

S'toHcu. 10 meet the requirements out

nothing would suffice but an indemnity
greater than Germany had, visioned even in
her most arrogant days 1t must be that both
were talking for effect, for after this war is
over Germany will no more he able to pay a
money indemnity than Serbia is now On the
other hand. it is conceivable that territorial
cessions will be demanded in lieu of money:

In any case. the shifting 81; even the talk
OF indemnity is significant of the radical
