The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1919-06-25

out their production and selling
campaigns, arranged for their
credits and otherwise paved the
way for the re-introduction of Ger
man goods into the markets of
the world.
The largest chemical works in
the world near Frankfort, are
ready. The big cement works near
Mayence, already producing for the
factories that have been overhaul
ing, are ready TO start full blast.
The big iron mills around Cologne
are in perfect trim.
And the German scientific ex-
perts forced by the allied block
ade to the discovery and inven-
ton OF substitutes for this and
substitutes for that, have increas
ed the efficiency and economy Of
German production IN an amazing
manner.
j" All this the crafty Ger
man has sought to conceal, but it
will be evident enough when trade
is resumed
There is some truth in it. There is
however assumption as for instance
with regard to labor, which is not
accurate Labor in Germany, as in
all the rest Of the world, is far from
steady and contented. The unrest
that keeps us from meeting demands
in our Industrial world is greater in
Germany. NO one can gainsay
that. No power on earth can put the
German factories to turning under
full capacity now, We are three thou
sand miles from the seat of war.
Ours are turning. If any in the world
could turn full blast, ours could Eng
land has fifty-five million cotton
spindles going idle this week because
of unrest in the field of labor Eng
lands cotton mills can turn ig Ger
many's chemical plants can operate,
Nothing wrong in making that as
sumption. Labor in Germany will not
permit the easy start
German commerce cannot spread
out again when restrictions are lifted
by the Allies,---not till the great Ger
man ships that whiten the allied
fleets are replaced. The banks of
Germany which fed their capital 10
the war for four frightful years and
stood off the civilized world in a
fight unequalied in all the history of
mankind, to the very critical end,
have given what they had left to in
IDENTITIES and reparations. Their
money is gone. These great ships that
made the Germany of other days are
sailing under flags of other nations,
strengthening the commerce of other
people. II viii take years and years
TO replace them. The restrictions
against Germany commerce may be
lifted on the morrow, but only the
ghost of a trade glory that is no
more will be there to mock those who
lay head, heart and hand to the task
Of rebuilding. Germany will not
come back" so soon.
Nor will the Germans pay the wal
costs so soon. They are at the mill
stones for at least half century. The
empire of the Hohenzollern is broli
en- Tae new Germany will levy {
tax en- about ons.third of the people
who paid tribute to the former
kaiser. Eightyfive percent of thu
IRON and coal heretofore enjoyed
have been taken To be sure, thu
Gllmany that is left has not suffer

Germany, II is the elimination o
the Mittel Europe dream of de
throned monarch who shall rule NJ
more. All the colonial possessions
rich in raw products, are swept away
