As Part of the Terms of Peace
Declares One Member OF
British Parliament.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.l
LONDON, Jan. 8.-"The eXactiol q
a large indemnity as part OF the
terms Of peace in the present war is
believe, out of the question" de-
clares Joseph King, member of par
lament from Somerset, who has fig
ured in the House of Commons fol
the last five years as an expert on
economic questions. The question as
put to him was, at the close of the
war, will it be possible, and il pos
sible, will it be good policy for the
yictors to impose heavy money in
demnity on the vanquished?"
In his reply, MI. King naturally
assumes that the Entente powers will
be the yictors. but he insists that they
have little to gain from an effort to
extract indemnity from Germany and
its allies.
"of course" he says, 1--WE hear many
Englishmen remark: Certainly, we
shall make Germany pay every penny
we can get out of 1t, and we shall go
on fighting until we can get terms in
Guiding big sum in money That
sounds very simply. but is it possible;
The imposition OF an indemnity is q
very complicated and difficult ques-
ton to decide.
Cites a Case.
Take, for example, the huge in
demnity paid after 1871 by France to
Germany AS a consequence of this
the prosperity and trade Of France
was recuperative and progressive
while Germany was depressed and suf-
fering. Bismarck himself acknowl-
edged this, and economists in both
France and Germany attributed 1t to
the way in which Germany received
it French indemnity payments.
I'm subsequent wars, notably the
Russo-Japanese war, claims for in
IDENTITIES In money, even when made
by the victors, have not been pressed
because of the immense difficulties
which they present.
ANY indemnity commensurate with
the range and losses Of this war must
be taken at huge figure. Five bill
lion dollars, sum less than the Brit
ish parliament has already voted for
the war, may be taken as the lowest
figure likely to be named. Now to pay
five billion dollars from one side to
another is. impossible in gold. Even
if gold payments could be made. the
immediate result would only be to i'm
mensely initiate prices in the country
receiving the gold. Prices being
raised enormously with no increase
in the volume of trade. manufacturers
or commodities, would mean intense
priyation to the poor and complete
upset, of commerce.
1.-THE French government surprised
the world when in September, 1878,
Just twenty-seven months after the
first indemnity payment, it paid to
Germany the last installment, making
a total OF a billion dollars. France
was able to do, this by buying credit
bills in London, Amsterdam and else
where. 0ne-third Of billion dollars
worth Of bills were bought in Lon
don, for English trade had been brisk
while Germany and France were fight

LARGE INDEMNITY
NOT VERY POSSIBLE

lending while French and Germany
armies had been spending. The nau-
trality and activity of England made
the indemnity easy. In the circum-
stances of the present war, no such
neutral trading and banking coun-
tries exist.
Hard on Trade.
"If Germany has to pay huge in
demnity, it cannot do It by shipments
or gold, nor by transferring debts due
it, nor by creating fresh debts. II eau
pay only by its commerce or produ:-
tive industry. II its manufacturing
and shipping and trading houses could
be started at once in full swing, i'm
mediately the war ends, 1t might soon
be paying of indemnity. But its men
will be gone, its credit vanished, its
systems overturned. The possibility
Of paying under these conditions
seems remote.
"If Germany's wonderful productiv-
ity and trading enterprises are to be
revived after the war in order 70 pay
indemnities to its enemies, II means
that its enemies will have to trade
with it far more than they did before
the war. If the impoverished work.
ers of Germany are to make wealth to
pay, then there must be customers for
their work. These can only be found
among the Allies. viii they want to
encourage trade with 1t, while their
own mills and workmen are depressed
and perhaps idle? Will those Of the
Allies who have been protectionlsts be-
fore, notably Russia, become free
trade in order that German workers
may produce profits to pay indemnify
Writers Are Agreed.
Writers who have studied the sub
ject are agreed that a nation which
proves victorious in war may with
profit and advantage impose a money
indemnity on the yanquished only tln-
der very exceptional circumstances,
and three conditions are requisite:
the nation paying the indemnity must
be very wealthy; 1t must be immeas-
urably weaker in military strength
than the victor, and, the war must be
of short duration.
There is one possible way, how
ever, in which the equivalent of an
indemnity might figure in the Allies
peace terms. In this latest and great
est war new and astonishing methods
of warfare and action have been wide
ly introduced, old traditions and con-
ventions of war have been thrown to
the winds. May 1t not be so after the
war that new proposals for peace will
be put forward? For instance, why
not require Germany to supply so
many tons of steel. cement, timber,
stone, bricks, for rebuilding deyasta-
ed Belgium? Why not agree to trad
ing conventions that would allow the
Allies the benefit Of mutual trade and
commerce? Why not get certain adj
vantages oyer land rates between the
west Of Europe and Russia across
Germany? And other similar conces-
sions will readily occur. The object
Of these would not be, like that Of an
indemnity. to disarm and weaken the
vanquished; but 1t would be a pos
sible policy to arrange trade or SER
vices on terms which would obviously
be advantageous to the victors. The
possibilities Of civilization are not ex-
hausted, even If crushing indemnity
is in the nature Of events out Of the
question"
