Germany had a national debt of Eve
billion marks when she began the war.
Editor George Bernhard of the Berlin
Vossische Zeitung says that at the end
of the war Germany will be confronted
with a debt of one hundred and fifty
billion marks. The total Of Germany's
national wealth is four hundred billion
marks, a large part OF which is state
and communal property, and Editor
Bernhard calculates that after the war
fourteen billion marks annually will
have to be raised by taxation, which
will necessitate the levying on large
fortunes of tax of so per cent. He
declares that this will not be safe
