tions arising out OF government
transactions In war supplies. Can
the government pay for its extraor-
binary war expenditures IL II can
not, must II succumb and make
peace?
From what does any government
get means OF payment? Obviously
from the wealth. or goods, owned by
it's citizens or from loans placed In
foreign countries. Water cannot
rise higher than It's source; nor can
a state spend more than the wealth.
or goods, ii can obtain by taxation
or borrowing. The amount OF paper
money It may issue, or the bonds 1t
may sell. does not increase its
wealth one whit. Debts do not in
crease assets
The MarshaIine Of Resources

dunn OF exchange In transferring
goods In war time no great addition.
IL any. TO the quantity of money in
ordinary use is needed, in view OF
the enormous service rendered by
banking devices for aiding In the ey-

must belligerent have wealth and
credit, but IL must have the ability
To marshal its resources In the form
of accepted means OF payment at
the place and time 10 cover its ex-
penditures az the war goes on. II
may thus be seen in Europe today
that belligerent with large re-
sources may be financially bankrupt
As a government, while another. with
less resources. may be regarded as
financially solvent as a government.
The true situation Is disclosed not
by issues OF paper money nor by
public debt
We are not likely to get a test OF
the ability OF belligerent TO con.
tinue fighting by considering merely
the matter OF financial exhaustion
of aack OF money" The northern
states in the American Civil war
gere often financially bankrupt. yet
their resources we're not exhausted
and the notion went on fighting for
year,: IL it's finances had been well
managed II would have had to de-
sist only n it's economic resources
in goods had been exhausted sooner
than those OF it's adversary. The
south yielded not because of It's
financial mismanagement but be-
cause OF its economic exhaustion.

merely through the piling up OF an
enormous debt The big debt and
the burdens OF taxation entailed by

goods or property-often in the form
Of other investments. BY making a
loan the government comes into
control of goods or property either
at home or abroad.
As already shown during war, the
government destroys goods and
property; yet the financial question
re solves inself into methods OF get

goods and property. II its credit
and borrowing power are maintained
and IL II can recoup Its daily de-
struction OF goods by imports from
abroad. the country can fight indefin-
itely, limited only by the burden
which the future can carry. This
is the situation OF Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan.
In different situation. however.
stands Germany, Practically cut of
from imports and mainly obliged to
float its loans at home, Germany
has been represented as having All
economic advantage. because 1t is
keeping its money" at home, Dor
rowing from its own people. and is.
therefore, economically independent.
II Or. Karl Helfferich is correctly
quoted In his budget speech OF Dec.
Ia. 1918. before the relchstag, he
said: "We are paying almost ex-
clusively TO ourselves, while the en-.
envy is paying abroad. Therein lies
the guaranty that in the future we
shall maintain the advantage. .
Germany can bear TO become poorer
and always remain what she Is. We
endured the 80 years war and the
Napoleonic wars. We were sucked
dry. piundered, beaten. cut mp. but
we always worked our way ont and
grew together again
From our preceding analysis II
must follow that Germany's loss OF
capital cannot be replaced from Dor
rowings abroad and that, as the lev.
ri OF her debts and home credits
rises, the volume of her actual goods
declines. A creation OF debt due TO
foreigners does not allow her TO pro
vide by imports present goods in
the place of the daily destruction OF
war supplies. To be sure, she has
no problem in finding medium OF
payment satisfactory TO foreign sell
err. as the allies have. but she has
constant loss Of economic strength
without the replacement Of it,
Road to Economic Exhaustion
II does not suffice to say that sub
sctibers 10 Germanys loans pay in
cesh. for the goods constantly de
s.royed leave pro tanto a lessening
basis Of value on which two-thirds
of her Reichsbank notes and all OF
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. depend.
To ISSUE inconvertible notes as the
result OF loans based on goods Tor
securities), to have these notes used
In payment for national bonds, ana
to pay them out again for munitions
OF war (which disappear in smokeD
is only another way OF saying that a
quantum Of the country's products
tmade by her labor and capital from
her own materially has been de-
stroyed and not replaced. The Gre
alton OF notes creates no wealth.
So-called financial exhaustion"
therefore. is receivable into eco
nomic exhaustion. Nevertheless the
ability tn raise loans and provide
purchasing power certainly affects
the methods of buying goods abroad.
Moreover. the excessive issue OF in.
convertible paper money and it's de-
probation below gold also affects for
