A wen-known Danish politician
DIR. L.. Y. Brick, professor Of econom-

said in an interview:
THE tragedy OF the situation is
that Germany will not pay, and can
not even if she would. Her home
debt has passed the sum Of $66.o00.-
100000. The indemnity insisted
upon adds an amount equivalent to
the whole value Of Germaays ma

another tragedy is that France
knogs that q policy Of stern Shy

compelled to stick to the guns OF hrr

faith IN the solvency OF Germany, she
must admit her own bankruptcy
'.This is then the triple curse OF ohe

Will not pay and cannot pay, at least
not go much as France, who knows
