was $4,000. 10000 hence France
owns about $4,000. 100000. After
mediate deficit Of 5000. 900. 900, and
after doubling the Ante-war budget
for the coming year, which means
doubled taxes. she cannot escape q
shortage OF $500. 900. without
counting the repairs TO war damages
which It In supposed Germany must
pay for.
II is evident France needs guaran-
tees which not only win make Ger
many pay damages. bat which win
enable France 10 reduce hAr military
expense4 In other words, such from
tiers and such guarantees against ths
enemy which will allow Rehabilitation
ands a substantial reduction Of AruaA-
ments.
II liz natural that n idsA, Il . pool
OF war expenses among tase powsrs
finds many adherents. Meanwhile
the slogan, Germany must ray first
reverheratas through the country.
Until II In stated what the powers
win make Germany pay the govern
ment Ia not prepared to propose RENE
dial measures.
Tho socialist opposition, however
advocates the plain CONSUMPTION OF
private fortunes, the same as the con-
scrtption OF a poor mans son for war,
the revision OF war contracts, very
heavy taxation of war profits an I'm
proved income tax. checking frauds
and tax lodging. and public owner
