With the completion of the Vicl

have sold more than $4,000 100000

of government securities may be
expected to continue through the

WAR DEBT OF S153, 100000, 900
OF WORLD CHARGED AGAINST
FORMER KAISER OF GERMANY

When Wilhelm Hohenzollern is
brought before the international
bar of justice-if he is-he will
learn that world debts. aggresating
$153, 900, 000,0 900. are directly
chargeable to his action in starting
the great war.
Treasury officials have computed
that the approximate national
debts of the great warning pow
ers total $4,000, 100000 of which
$I53, 1000, 100000 has resulted from
the war.
OF this sum, the former Kaiser
saddled a debt of $35. $50 900 600
on his own people before he fed.
An added debt of $17,04S,0000, 900
he foisted on the Austrians, while
the Hungarians labor under a war
debt of $685., 100000.
The national debt of the big four
allies are computed today as fol-
lows:
United States = $24, 1924, 345 900 :;
England, $36,178, 100000; France,
SIS. 1852 100000, and Italy, S12,61S,-
100000
Belgium's national debt approx
mates $4,000, 100000. Belgium's
debt is not all to her own people.
She has been forced to accept help
from her allies in the following
sums: From the United States,
39,110,00O; from England, SAP
$4,000, and from France, $S75,-
900, 900.
The combined Balkan states
were forced by the war to increase
their national debts nearly $4,000
O00,000 and face years of heavy
taxation.
The national debts of Japan and
China can only be estimated, Of
ficials say, while Russia's will not
be ascertained until a stable gov
eminent is set up.
officials declared the holders OF
German internal bonds face con-
fiscation of their securities. 1t
may not be direct, they said. But
by taxes so high as to force the re-
turn of the war bonds to the gov
eminent the same end will have
been achieved. officials of the fed
eraI reserve board believed.
Germany cannot meet the in
demnity which will be heaped on
her and pay interest on her own
bonds at the same time, it was
argued. ST. will have no capital
left with which to restore her in
dustrial plants or reestablish her
trade unless part of the debt can
be repudia.el in some way, Off
Gals said.
