A Comparative
~ Victory for Germany

Therefore, if France has to submit
to the indirect damages from the war
consequent on TRIPPING the taxes, the
result will be in very short time the
total ruin of France and by comparison
a brilliant victory for Germany.
Hence, not only elementary justice,
but secure peace requires that the
German aggression shall be paid as we'll
as the direct damages And this is what
is not yet clearly understood by the
Allied peoples.
Reparation for the damages conse-
quent on the war should include re-
placement and reparation for the ag-
erosion in such manner that the
countries attacked are to the greatest
extent possible restored to the position
they occupied before the war.
In taking France as an example of

What the Problems of
w PREPARATION Are

Many people think the problem Of
reparations is so difficult that It can
never be solved. It is said, "Since Lloyd
George estimates the Allied damages
at s120, OoO,oOo,000 and the total
wealth Of Germany is only $90,OO0,-
100000, Germany can never pay and
we must resign ourselves to only par
tial reparation.
This judgment, which seems reason
able, is in truth only superficial, for it
leaves out Of consideration certain
combinations which, while keeping
strictly within the limits of law. make
it possible for the Germans to pay much
more than it is generally supposed they
can. To understand this we must
look at the problem from the following
point Of view:
In the first place, the general princl-
pie followed in all civilized countries
- o''"o any udiidSeS caused 10 another
must be integrally repaired. This is
legal obligation on Germany to repair
lntegrally all the damages, direct and
indirect, she has caused. In the sec
ond place, as all the evidence is that the
reparation cannot be immediate and
rapid, 1t is to the interest of the Victims
the creators, to make the payment =
practical matter in demanding only. so
much immediately as can be paid with
out running the means Of production.
which constitute the bases Of reparation
But it is indispensable that there should
be supervision of Germany by Allied
commissioners, so that ADVANTAGE can
not be taken of the conditions to achieve
an economic position that will amount
to multiplying the Allied victory. AT the
same time, it should be the Allied in
tention, once the necessary precautions
are taken, to let the Germans work as
freely and as fast as they can. In
order that the Germans can pay they
must be allowed to work prohtably.
And in order that they may have an in
terest in working, everything they make
must not be taken from them but, say.
half their profits, so that they will be
encouraged to work harder and get the
debt paid off sooner, which would be
both to their interest and to ours.
In my next article will take IN the
question Of practical plan by which
the Allies, while staying within the law,
can still compel truly integral rcfara-
ton of damages by the Germans.

than the direct damage-the S6,000,
100000 that once paid, Will be finished
With.
Considering that the $4,000, 100000
is an annual charge to be collected in
taxes, it corresponds, figuring on the
basis of per cent return on invest
ments, to d capital sum of $4,000,
100000.
On the other hand, France, having
lost in the war at least one-tenth Of her
male population, the loss in men by
France is much greater than the Ger
man loss, and France certainly cannot
pay normally and regularly taxes three
times greater than before the war.
Finally, 100000 in addi-
tional taxes can only be raised by levy
ing on the future, that is, by taxing the
expectation of a profit, and that means
killing any hope of economic recrudcs-
cence.

NO Precedent for
l. y the War

This Interpretation was all right for
the war of 1870, but the war of 1914
1913 had no precedent in the history of
humanity. The Germans carried it on
not only as military enterprise, but
as an. economic undertaking to reduce
their adversaries to powerlessness for a
long period after the war, by the sys-
tematic destruction of their riches and
means Of production. From this new
and special way of making war there

them with wool, with materials for mu-
nitions and with other necessaries, with
out which they could not have $hade war.
Australia has made no profit out Of the
war. Regarding the war as d supreme
struggle for liberty and right, upon
which its liberties and national exist
ence deperded, it has subordinatcd all
commercial considerations to the achieve
ment of victory. 1t has sold it's products
at price far below the market rate. We
have given to Great Britain for purposes
of war 100000 tons of our own Aus
tralian shipping. We have surrendered
them gladly, bearing the great incon-
venience and loss imposed upon us by
this withdrawal of the only means Of
communication and transport along our
huge coastline of 1900 miles, in order
that the day of victory might be has
tened and the forces of despotsm be
overthrown.
Now victory has been won, and Aus

right to expect that all those things

for which we fought will be safeguarded.
The Allies and America are able now
to dictate terms of peace. | agree with
President Wilson that at the peace con-
ference we should not be actuatcd by
feelings Of revenge, should not dictate
humiiating terms merely because they
are SO; that we should endeavor to cs-
tablish the new world in which right and
liberty are to reign forever. But surely
we should at least secure those objects
for which we fought. Surely we
should come out of this war with all
those rights with which we entered it.
Australia was moved to fight and make
such sacrifices, because as one of the
freest nations of the earth her liberty
was in deadly peril. Australia went into
this war to fight for liberty. The voice
of her people is the supreme law. The
unfettered right Of self government
which she enjoys is the fruit of long
struggle, great sacrifice and effort. This
right is the keystone of our temple.

mand that she shall not live forever I'M

M Gaming and Extent of
1*A the Word Indemnitics

IL must first be understood that tho
indemnity the Allies will demand from
Germany will be for restoration and
PREPARATION and never punitive. It is
necessary 10 make this clear because
many times the Socialists in the Allied
countries have said, we must not de-
mand punitive indemnify, for that
would give rise TO hatred or desire
for revenge that would lead to new
war; That danger does not exist, and
the fear of it is chimera for the fol-
lowing reason, as simple as strong:
The Germans have caused TO the Al
hes (without considering moral damage,
men killed and families dcstroycd)
material damages, direct and indirect, SO
great that they will total far more than
the 100000, 100000 at which the best
informed economists placed German
wealth before the war. Therefore. all
the German people can be forced to
pay will pay only a small part of the
damages Of the war. There is no cues
ton that whatever sam the Allies col
lect from Germany, however large 1t
may be, will always be only for repara-
ton and cannot possibly be called punt
tive damages or material benefit to
the Allies.

Our navy, small though it is, has

tary despotlsm; to secure our national
safety and our political and economic
independence. We have played no mean
part in this struggle. We have raised in
Australia some $4,000 men. We have
sent overseas $4,000. We have main
tanned five divisions of fighting men on
the Western front as first line troops
We have maintained in the Eastern the
atre of war two divisions of mounted
troops. Our men have fought in Meso
potamia. We, small nation Of s.
100000 of people, have transported over
$4,000 miles Of ocean this great army,
for it is a great army, even in point of
number, greater even than Britain her
self had ever put into the field before
this war. It's record speaks for itself.
The soldiers of Australia have materi
ally helped to achieve a glorious victory,
but in doing so have paid great price.
The list of our dead is appalling. In Gal
