points out, as many others have done
since Hertling astonished and shocked
Germany with his pronuncfamento,
that there are going to be enormous
bills for invalids, pensions n to rel
atives of the hundreds OF thousands
who have died. Without an indemnity
to fall back on, Germany is going to
have a terrible struggle.
Likewise, says he, an indemnity is
absolutely essential in h interest Of
building up industries which shall
give employment to all the returning
soldiers, and to tighten the taxes

the war.
Such a state Of affairs. he believes.
will drive Germans in droves to Amer

will be working against their own
country and preparing its enemy for

can be counted to take part. For this

The German people," he continues,
appear ven today not to realize that
the length Of the war and tho huge
earnings of America have created an
entirely new situation. American cap

with raj loans that we must count
on a strong trend Of III war loan
securities to foreign countries after
the war. Thereby we become interest
payers to the rest of the world, our
money will flow away from JUS, with
out being available for use in econom-
ic development at home.
IF we do not weaken Jul oppon-

indemnity which Germany is expected
to obtain from the entente allies, and
to impress upon their. readers, again
and again, why enormous indemnities
are going to be an absolute necessity.
The entry of America into the wa

such discussions. because the United
