that the new taxes would be levied on

minative Of the tax would be published
within a fortnight. In connection with
the dispatch the Sur Deutsche Zeitung
observes:
However legitimate may Appear the
principle Of the tax one cannot but
consider with some anxiety the hurry
with which the government is acting
The allied powers will surely augment
their demands when they are aware Of
the extent of our financial means and
will lay hold Of the sum in question
The result will be diminution of our
national wealth bring no profit to the
state and an increase in the taxes
which will fall on German citizens"
