ALLIES TO DEMAND INDEMNITY OF
12O BILLIONS FROM GERMANY

In his speech at Bristol, ON December y,
Premier Lloyd George of England, declared
that the war bill of the allies against Germany
amounted to 24,000,0O0000 pounds sterling
($120,0O0,0 00000) The cost of the war to
Great Britain he said, was 100000 900 pounds
sterling ($40000,000, 000.)
Before the war the estimated wealth Of Ger
many, the premier said, was between $75,OOO,-
100000 and $10O,000,0 Therefore if the
whole wealth Of Germany were taken there
would not be enough to pay the account. For
that reason, he said, he had used the words,
. Germany should pay to the utmost limit of
her capacity.''
The premier said that British imperial com
mission had been appointed to investigate the
capacity of Germany to pay, and that he had
received it's report He summarized his re-
marks on this point as follows:
''First-As far as justice is concerned we
have absolute right to demand the whole
cost of the war from Germany.
''Second-We propose to demand the whole
cost Of the war from Germany.
''Third- When you come to the exacting of
it we must exact in such way that it does not
do more harm to the country that receives it
than the country that is paying it.
S'Fourth-The commission appointed by the
British cabinet believes that that can be done
Fifth-The allies are in exactly the same
boat. We shall put in our demands all together
and whatever they are they must come in front
of the German war debt
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1918-12-21

''The most comforting development is the
realization that there will be no great surplus
Of labor. 1t is now pretty generally agreed that
the shortage Of immigration during the war,
combined with the number of foreigners who
will return to their European homes as soon as
possible, will make up for the men who will re-
turn to civil life from the war. Women will be
able to hold practically all they have gained in
industry, and the health and enterprise of the
country will be left permanently improved as
result.
"Another cheering feature is the discovery
that stocks of food on hand are not so large as
it was believed even few days ago they were
What the United States army has will all be
used up in less than six months 1t now ap-
pears that the cut price sales offered by stores
throughout the country were due not so much
to an excess Of stocks ON hand, as to the fear
that prices might fall to a level even below those
On which the so-called bargain sales were being
based
Industry has been released from govern
ment control with bewildering speed.

GOVERNMENT MAY LOSE HEAVILY ON
1919 WHEAT CROP

Present indications point to the largest win
ter wheat crop for the 1919 harvest, in Amer
lean history. Official estimates place it at
765 100000 bushels, It sets all records of acre
age and estimated yields in the shade, largely
owing to the unprecedented open fall, generally
favorable conditions and the guaranteed price
Of 1926 bushel for next year.
The expected early release Of shipping for
trade routes will, in all probability, release vast
quantities Of wheat for foreign consumption
from the Argentine and Australia
Charles D. Michaes, writing in the Chicago
Tribune, of December 16, says:
1t will be no surprise to those conversant
with the grain trade and the conditions sur
rounding the fixing of the wheat price by the
government at 1926 for the 1919 crop for it to
lose $5OO,00O00O and possibly $750,OOOOOO to
81 900, 100000
''Unless something happens to the wheat crop
next year the harvest may be 1,25O,O00 900 bu.
or 225,OOOOOO blu. more than was raised in
1915, when the record for wheat production was
set. The government has guaranteed the far
mers the same price for the next crop as for
the recently harvested and largely mar
keted.
1T is understood that the guarantee was
based on an understanding with the British,
French, and Italian governments that they were
to take large percentage of the crop at the
fixed price. Whether they will stand by their
agreement remains to be seen. 1t was neces-
sary to guarantee our farmers high price for
the 1919 crop because Of the uncertainty as to
the duration Of the war and the necessity Of
preparing for supplies a year in advance.
