The note points out that Germany, in
two generations, has passed from an
agrarian to an industrial state. As an
agrarian state. it could feed 10000, 600
persons and as an industrial country it
was able to provide food for $1,000, 900,

said, 5O.OO0O00 Germans were depend

shipping and foreign raw materials. The
note proceeds to indicate in detail how
the peace conditions would produce
economic paralysis, destroy German in
dustry and make it impossible to provide
work and food for millions of people
who would be obliged to emigrate or

No relief work however large its

Part XIII Of the draft of the con

which such adjustments can be made,
and section III of this part of the draft
lays down the principles which will
