But modern war Is different thing.
The peace which we are to impose
upon Germany is primarily economic
rather than territorial. We are going
to put Germany to work for thirty
years to pay some portion, not Of the
cost of war to her enemies-this would
be impossible--but to pay for the
which she has created on
sea and on land. After the treaty OF
frankfort, France resumed her own ex-
Histence without enemy occupation IN
less than three years. We have tore
seen the occupation Of German terri
aory for 10 years. with possible m,
definite extension If the terms are not

mistake in the fact that we have put
Germany into economic bondage Tor
