Many of the officers had given up op-

Faces Many Obstacles.

While the allies are ready to assist
Germany in Sc far as giving her a
chance to trade with the world. ii is
recognized fact that Germany faces
many obstacles in carrying out her
end of bargains effected in the normal
process of business. Germany within
is a skeleton of the former Germany.
Though factories and Industrial con-
Germs may be intact and ready for re-
sumption of business. the labor sit
uation is acute. The returned soldier
is not yet ready to settle down to old
tasks. Government pensions for the
unemployed have increased disinclina-
ton to work. Labor generally is dis
satisfied with economic conditions,
and, Notwithstanding the fact the
German government has up to the mo-
ment been reasonably successful,
though by sheer force of arms, in
keeping Germany from the grip of
5oishevism, the danger has not by any
means passed These internal trou-
bIes have SO disrupted general condi-
tons that it is extremely doubtful if
one-third Of the Industrial output can
now be reached even should Germany
obtain any portion of her pre-War
supply of raw materials.
Lines of transportation are demo-
rallied within Germany. A vast por-
ton of Germanys products will move
to ports of sea transit only at prohib-
tive figures Germany's merchant
fleet is in the hands of the allies This
means that German goods cannot
move at the old-time favored rates of
transport which government subsidies
made possible. AS consequence
German goods must reach the outside
world at prices with which all nations
can reasonably compete. In fact. Ger
man goods, because of the increased
cost of production, increased railroad
and water transit rates in most cases
must be sold at prices in excess of
those prevailing in countries with
which Germany desires to do bust
ness. There will be no such thing as
cheap labor within Germany in the
future.
