PARIS. March 26.-Germanys as
sertlon of insolvency and of inability
to pay even the l 1000, 100000 marks
n gold (s2500oO. .OOO demanded be-
fore March % by the allied repara-
tions commission has led Senator
George Raphael Levy, a leading
French economist, to sumbit minute
analysis of German resources be-
fore the French senate. He contends
that Germany is entirely able to pay
the annuities of the Paris agreement
by exactly the same expedient as that
adopted by France in 1871 to meet
Bismarck's demands, namely, the
floating of a reparations loan.
The senator accuses Germany OF
world wide propaganda to disguise her
true financial condition and asserts
that the prentended bankruptcy of
the German state is owing almost en-
tirely to the undue increase in the
number of government employees,
This he said, lis one of the pest
known expedients for impoverishins
the state while enriching the indus
trials"
Gives Some Figures.
Following are IeW ISuI iiohi
Senator LewyS analysis:
Germany's total fortune in 1914 was
34s. .O00, ZOO, 900 gold marks 1855. q. 600. :
0O0). while that of France was about
$50. .000. zoo. 900 francs 1000, 600, ,000o
While the war devastated France 1t
left Germany intact economically. yet
at the present time Germanys public
debt is only 212,00O.0Oe.000 paper
marks (normally s52 200, 900. .000). while
the French debt is 100000, 100000 pa
per francs (normally s60.4o0.o00. .0ooD.
Germany's debt is all interior. while
nearly a third of Frances DEBT is eA-
terror. and. therefore. harder TO pay
Moreover. the German loans were is
sued nearer par and at lower rate
of interest than the French.
Increased Prosperity Shown.
Germany's increasing prosperity is
shown by the fact that in the hrst ten
months of the current fiscal year Ger
many collected $4,000. 100000 marks
(SI2,5O 5O0.000.0 .000) in taxes, which is an
increase of $4,000. 100000 marks $S,-
$50. 600. .o0O) over last year. At the
same time both capital and income
are taxed less in Germany than in
France. AS for indirect taxes, the
tobacco. beer, wine. spirits. salt and
match taxes are thirteen times more
per capita in France than in Germany.
and customs duties per capita are
eight times higher in this country
than on the other side of the Rhine
The customs duties and indirect taxes
Law a burden of 142 francs (S2s:40)
per capita on French citizens. while
it is only IA francs (S2.S0) per capita
on the Germans.
The income from spirits duties in
Germany now is only 16 per cent of
that before the war. The total income
of Germany before 1914 was 10000
O0O. 900 gold marks S15,000. .O00.000: h:
now it is estimated by German econo-
nists at 10000, 600. 900 paper marks
NORMALLY s45. 900. 900. O.ooo). Six billion
gold marks ($1 500. .000. .00O). the maxi
mum annuity of the Paris agreement.
represents only one-tenth of Ger
many's pre-war income.

NEW CLASS CRISIS
GRIPS ITALY AGAIN
Reaction PIunges Country
Into StruggIe-BoIshevism
Believed Definitely Lost.
BY EDGAR AxsEL MowRER.


by Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright. 1921.
ROME. Italy. March 26.-The reac-
tion predicted by the socialist leader
Turati is now in full swing, causing
a political and Industrial crisis. The
nationalists and conservatives are
united in an effort to bring Italy back
to pre-war social conditions and TO
curb the socialist claims This process
called by the Chauvinist -Giornale
DItalia the restoration of the So
cial hierarchy" was made inevitable
by the stupid insolence of the COM
munists and anarchists.
Regarding the supremacy of labor
as certain. the middle classes were
prepared to advance slowly along the
lines of reform. but elements among
the workers. imagining themselves
supreme. melted by the success of the
Russian revolution and having a gen.
eral love for violence, began to af-
front the middle classes systemati-
cally and to attack the patriotic SEN
timents which were highly developed
by. the war.
The reaction came quickly. and to-
day the Fascist movement, which
was gradually stamping out the vio-
lence of the radicals. is itself more
violent than the radicals. 1t is re-
cruiting all the courageous conserva-
tive and miIitaristic elements, and
backed by the government. it seems
determined to swing far to the right.
The Milan outrage. in which bomb
was thrown into the lobby of the
Diana Theater, is only a symptom of
this process.
Last stand for Reds.
The anarchists and communists.
feeling that the opportunity is slip
ping from them, and goaded by the
Fascist, are tempted, as a last resort.
| to engage in massacres of innocent
victims. thereby losing whatever SYM
pathy may have been felt for them.
The numerous cases of violence re-
ported from all sections of the coun-
try merely reinforce the thesis that
Italy is in a full reaction. which will
last until all socialist movements of
a violent type are crushed.
Bolshevism in Italy, which never
seemed probable, now seems further
away than ever. The coming cleo
tions will certainly reduce the mum :
ber of socialist deputies and prob
ably will be accompanied by vio-
lence and a certain amount of terror
ism. A striking feature of the mid
die class reaction, as it was of the
socialist campaign preceding and ac-
companying it, is the complete dis
regard for lawful methods and the
tendency of opposing opinions to de-
generate into the violence which
makes legal government in Italy SO
difficult.
