WANT HUNS TO PAY
FULL COST OF THE WAR

The difficult work of arriving al
conclusion in the matter of wal
reparation has proceeded for enough
to develop the fact that there aly
three theories concerning what the
principle should be-
The American theory is that the
reparation to be demanded from
Germany should cover only such
damages as done by her in wanton
destruction in violation of the laws
of war and nations.
The British view is that, as in
civil law, all damages must be paid
by the aggressor, so Germany should
be compelled to pay the whole COSY
of the war, including the expense to
the Allies, of raising, equipping
transporting and maintaining their
armies, as well as reparation for
wanton damage.
The French view is that the repair
alton should include all England
would demand, but the French, I'M
like the English would fix a sequence
of payment, requiring Germany first
to settle for the bills for destruction
in violation of international law and
to pay other bills later, if she could.
According to economic and financ-
ial facts which are expected to pre-
vail in future Germany, there is
really no practical difference be-
tween the French and American
views, because nobody in France
really expects that Germany ever
will be able to pay more than that
amount which America would fix as
the limit, which is the same amount
France would insist upon for the
first payment.
Under the American proposal, Eng
land would be the creditor of Ger
many on the reparation account on
ly to the extent of her merchant
shipping losses, and the damages
caused by aeroplane and Zeppelin
raids on English territory. The
United States and the British colo
MES bills would be confined to such
merchant ship losses as were in
flicted on them by submarines {. So,
the chief creditors are Belgium, Ser
bia and Rumania, to which countries
the bulk of wanton damage was con-
fined.
