the blockade, which proved so effective
In the case OF Germany, will consti-

The means of handling refractory

that the blockadc--or at least a boy

The biggest problem centres on how
Germany can pay. This necessitates
working out an economic scheme.
She must not only make money in
marks but in the currency OF the as
ISOLATED Powers. This means that
her exports must exceed her imports,
the amount of her credit being in
proportion TO the excess OF her ex-
ports.

made IN the Senate to-day.
Senator Lodge, Massachusetts,, read n
