Before the war the estimated wealth
of Germany. said the premier. was be-
tween f15,000,0 and G20,000.-
100000 sterling. So, II the whole
wealth of Germany were taken there
would not be enough to pay the ac-
count. Therefore he had used the
words; Germany should pay to the
utmost limit of her capacity"
IF you want permanent peace;
II you want to prevent the horrors
Of this war being repeated you must
put an end to conscription armies on
the continent of Europe"
He summarized his remarks on the
indemnity to be demanded from Ger

First As far as justice is con-
cerned, we nave an absolute rlgnt TO
demand the whole cost of the war
from Germany.
'Second-We propose to demand
the whole cost of the war from Ger
many.
"Third-When you come to the ex-
acting of it, we must exact in such
a way that 1t does not do more harm
to the country that receives it than
the country that is paying it.
"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 first consideration in the
minds of the allies will be the inter
ests OF the people upon whom the
Germans have made war, and not in
the interests Of the German people,
who have made war and who have
been guilty of that crime"
