RAPID GROWTH OF NATIONAL
DEBT CAUSING FINANClERS
MUCH WORRY - MAY cONFlS-
CATE PROPERTY.

Berne. Switzerland. March 2l.-The
issue OF Germanys sixth war loan has
again raised the question as TO the
sources Of the empires sinews OF war.
It is a mystery which even expert
bankers are unable To explain.
FInanciers freely admit that they
are far from meeting the situation
While the factors mentioned figured
largely iu the earlier war loans &c Is
contended that by now they must have
spent their force The two facts which
cannot be lodged are that nearly the
entire able bodied male population has
been drawn from production and has
become a huge burden ON the eco
nomic powers OF the country. and.
secondly that the foreign trade. sour.
ces of enormous profit before the war,
has practically ceased 10 exist. In
the face of these adverse facts Ger.
many raised last year two war loans
which called for subscription of fully
5000 million dollars, an amount far in
excess of what the German people
were able to invest I'm securities in
the best year before the war.
Too Much for the People?
In a book written on Germany's
economic growth by Doctor Helnerich
In 1913 the present vice-chancellor of
the empire estimated the total annual
Increase of the earned wealth of the
German people for the years immedi.
ately preceding the war at 1900 mill
ion dollars to 1000 million dollars.
He showed that out of this total the
maximum amount invested In the
home and foreign securities for any
single year was only little more
than 700 million dollars. Yet. the
total Of last years loan was seven.
fold greater than this maximum. In
other words, the Germans are now. un.
der the stress OF the greatest war In
history. investing seven times as much
money as In their most prosperous
times OF peace.
According to Doctor Helferich again
the gross income OF his own people
just before the war was about 10 bill.
ion dollars, but almost all Of this was
consumed each year. It is evident
that the aggregate earnings must now
be much less than 10 billion dollars
and the most rigid economy could
hardly have been the decisive figure
In determining the success of the
loans. This is especially the case in
view Of the sharp increase In the cost
Of living, which must necessarily
cause a shrlnkage in the number OF
subscribers TO the new bonds.
Problems Of the Future.
Germans are more deeply interested
Just now in financial problems OF the
future than In finding explanations
for past successes. The rapid growth
'ot the national debt with the certain
prospect OF a further big expansion. is
undoubtedly the source of the grayest
anxiety among thoughtful nnanciers
and economists. The war expenditures
up TO the present time are estimated
at probably IN excess OF IL billion dol
lars and are expected TO reach su
billion dollars by the end OF the year
II the war continues that long. The
interest on this sum will amount 10 /
