Here are some facts bearing on Ger
many's, ability to pay for the dam

Bile sources:
Germany is estimated to have a
pile of gold amounting to around SIX
or seven billion dollars.
She has big war loans taken Ut
largely by her own people, But she
has few foreign debts, largely because
the blockade has preventd her from
importing goods.
