"a review of the available bulge

extraordinary difficulties facing the
German Government, both on the side
of expenditures and on that OF reve-

social and political conditions. Even
if the most drastic retrenchment con-
ceivable under present conditions were

nitv charges and other charges that
are practically fixed represents such

'In attempting to collect taxes, how
ever. the German Government faces
extraordinary difficulties and it ap-
pears that the present government
has been confronted with an under
taking entirely beyond its power. In
facing the task it found itself con-
fronted with a gigantic dilemma. 1t

eminent; it must not default on in
demnity payments; it appeared but
one practicable way out, viz, the is
sue of treasury notes which in turn
meant imitation Of the currency.
"The use of funds obtained in this
way for the moment solve the Ultima:
but, as soon developed, this method of
Treasury financing when applied to
foreign expenditures brings the gov
ernment face to face with a new dim
ma. Since the existing supply of for
eign exchange has been insufficient for
the external value Of the mark has
been lower than the internal value, not
only has the government had to buy
exchange at great cost but its pur-
chaSes have contributed to the cause
of the external depre"iation, thereby

omic forces are overcoming political
barriers and it now appears likely
that larger Part of the prewar re-
sources of Germany will find their
way back to German industries than
was at first supposed.
There is a lso evidence that the
economic power of substitution is al
ready working in Germany either to
supply from within her boundaries or
from neutral countries materials to
take the place of Those lost under the
Treaty of Peace. 1t further appears
that insufficient Importance has been
given to the great possibilities of the
development of neighboring territor-
les by Germany and her ability to es-
tablish an even larger German econ
omic unit than existed before the war.
perhaps most important of all
any estimate of Germany's economic
position that considers her saving
capacity permanently reduced proper
tionately to the temporary losses Of
her natural resources overlooks the'
fact that one of the most important
elements in Germany's productive
capacity could not have been perma-
nenly reduced by the war, namely her
genius fer applying science TO bust
ness and industry. Indeed, there APP
pears evidence that this genius is not
only left intact, but has been greatly
increased by the war. Moreover her
extraordinary capacity for organiza-
ton which before the war was rartic-
ularly diverted to military opera
tionS can now be directed exclusively
to the organization of industry and
commencement only to the commerce
of Germany but also in part to that
of the surrounding countries, including
Russia.
"The simple fact is, however, that
there has not existed at any time since
the war data adequate to the determi-
nation of Germany's future caDacity
to pay. Moreover, it will probably be
some years before the world can know
even approximately what Germany's
final capacity to pay will be.
with regard to her future capa-
city to pay the important problem at
this time is not that We should be
able to determine such capacity
understand the conditions under
which it would be possible for Ger
many to make the maximum total re-
paration.
an reviewing the principal items
that condition her future capacity it
is possible to believe that Germany
will eventually regain an important
part of her prewar saving capacity.
In any case, we are Justified in recog-
nizing that there has not yet been pro-
duced convincing evidence that Ger
many will not eventually develop a
very great saving capacity.
Such capacity. however, must rest
upon the condition that what is left
of the German economic unit can be
come readiusted and operated with an
approach to the degree of efficiency
that prevailed before the war. There
is much to indicate that substantial
reimbursement is possible provided that
crushing public financial burdens do
not continue to dislocate industry and
commerce.

IN the very nature of things, there
fore. il is to the interest of the world
at large and especially to the interest
of the Allies that there be made what
ever temporary arrangements are
necessary to enable the budget to be
balanced.
-Once the budget is balanced Ger
many will be in a position to accom-
plish the readjustment of her produc-
ton machine necessary to increase her
capacity to make the fullest possible
reparation payments.
''In working toward these ends, any
acceptable plan must, of course, COM
prehend the clearly recognizable needs
and rights of the Allied Governments,
some of which also face tremendous
fiscal problems.

 Is due to the fact that 1t requires about as much labor to cut onefourth cord of one foot lengths as it does to cut a full cord of four-foot lengths

Saturday, July 8h

Solheims crew of Railway Shopmen
from Hudson, Wis, copped hectic VIC
tory from Caps sluggers here on Saturday,
July 9Th. 1t was scrappy uphill battle
all the way, with "Cap's sluggers" al
ways ready to tie up the score, but they
failed to make the grade. When the dust
clouds cleared away in the al-frame,
the score stood to in favor of the Hud-
sonites.
The encouragement the local players got
from the local fans was very discouraging,
indeed. In fact there was bunch of un-
patriotic fans along the third base line who
seemed to delight in roasting the local
players over the bobbles they happened
to make. This only tends to show an un-
gentlemanly and unpatriotic sportsmanship
for the fans of any home team to indulge
in such practice. 1t is we'll and good to
applaud sensational play, that any
player may make, no matter if he is a
visiting player or local player, but when
fan will degrade himself to throw insult
upon injury, it is almost unspeakable. The
home team needs your support to win
games, so while here, why not come for
ward in patriotic sportmanship manner
and give it to them. We should be boos-
ters-not knockers, and word to the wise
should be sufficient
The local crew by playing poor class
of ball in the opening stanza got decided
ly in the hole. That, however, did not
discourage their fighting spirits for when
the last out was made in the final frame,
they came within one point of tying up
the game. Their defensive machinery
throughout the game did not seem to func-
ton properly for several chances were
given and the cylinders missed fire. Their
offensive work with men on the runways
proved to be another stumbling block for
not gaining the grade and marching on to
victory. The locals outhit the visitors for
extra base hits but the most of these extra
base hits did not produce single run.
The locals got ten hits, three doubles and
seventeen bases in all; while the visitors
were connecting for twelve hits that were
only equal to thirteen bases.
Bur, the locals slab artist was pitted
against classy bunch of players, includ-
ing southpaw baseball artist who has
gained fame as an American League
player with Cleveland. 1t took Bur some
little time to get his arm limbered up and
