HOW SHALL GERMANY PAY2

Three theories have developed Peace Con.
ference concerning what the principle reparaon
should be and they respectively American British
and French.
The American theory Is that reparation be de
manded from Germany should only such damage
done by her deliberate and criminal destruc.
ton IN violation of the laws of and of nations.
Under this heading would come such barbaric as
the ruthless destruction of eathedras. unnecessary
pflage of farms and houses etc. etc.
The British view is that since in civil law all
damage be paid by the aggressor, Germany should
be compelled 10 pay, not only such costs America
would but. also all the contracted by the
Allies their conduct of the including the
involved in raising equipping, transporting and main
tanning their armies.
The French view is that reparation should include
ell that England demands. but the French make the
stipulation that there should be of payment
that is that Germany and Austria should first the
bill demanded in the American scheme for destruction
In violation of international law and the other bills
the bills England would demand-later, the state
OF her finances would allow.
1t IS claimed that there is no great difference be
tween French and the American views when take
into consideration the fact that Germany be unable
