GERMANY MUST
PAY TO LIMIT
Lloyd George ReneWs Pledge
Regarding Reparations in
Speech in Commons Today

LONDON. Feb. 1s.-Premier
Lloyd George declared in the house
of commons today that he stood by
his pledge that Germany must pay
to the limit of her capacity.
The prime minister was discussing
the German reparations question in
answering Roratio Bottomley's ar
raignment of the governments pol
icy of alleged ineptitude with re-
gard to forcing Germany to comply
with the reparations demand, the
provision for the trial of war GRIM
inals and other portions of the peace
treaty.
There was a great difference con-
tinued the premier, between Ger
many paying for the whole cost of
her capacity.
The whole point is as to the linn
1t of Germany's capacity to pay"
he said.
Mr.. Lloyd George laid stress upon
the difficulty of exacting an indem-
nifty in another country and secur-
ing its payments here.
You can easily collect in Ger
many any indemnity you impose
within reasonable limit" added the
premier. but how are you going
TO transfer 1t here? There is much
loose thinking on this subject
II take the view that we have got
to do the best for the country out
of what is essentially q bad job. as
every war is. The war cost some
thing beyond what any country can
pay, and does any one imagine that
any country in the world can pay
the whole cost? Indemnities can be
paid in goods or service, and that
is why we introduced an export tax
on Germany's outgoing goods. That
means that everything she sends out
in goods is gold for she gets some-
thing for which there is the gold
equivalent"
The prime minister said Mr..
Bottemley had talked of sending
someone to Germany to collect the
indemnity but whoever went would
have to collect it in paper marks,
Mr.. Lloyd George pointed out, and 1t
would take a shipload to pay Mr.
Bottemley's fare home.
