Germany's Ability to Pay

Since Germany IS again request<
ing n world economic conference.
the question of Germany's ability to
pay its r%eparation obligations natu-
rally comes to mind.
Germany Is able. and should be
compelled, to pay its reparation
debts. Her wealth and working
capital are enormous. We read that
poverty and hunger exist among the
Masses, and we know the value of
the mark has disappeared. These
conditions seem p~aradoxical. and
poverty among so many people and
the decline II the mark might, on
first thought, indicate that Germfny
Is not able to pay its reparations.
But this is not the case. Germany's
wealth and power continue to grow
rapidly.
The working classes have suffered
and by their suffering the leaders
OF Industry have profited enorm-
ously. It Is n Ease of the big fish
growing fat on the consumption of
the little fish. The Industrial lead.
ers have been charged with n de-
liberate program Of destroying the
value of the mark by the unlimited
issue OF unredeemable paper money
in order to wipe out their debts
and to build up working capital at
practically no cost to themselves.
Correspondent A. Piatt Andrew in n
Dusseldorf dispatch to the New York
Times has been reported as saying;
II visited the Krupp plant at Es-
sen day before yesterday and was
shown over a considerable part OF
It by one of the officials. I had

ration Mt the incredible variety of
things manufactured in this single

Krupp official accompanying me
added. with evident pride:

duced. We even have our own

"The motor car has become a

There are undoubtedly many own

are many more who lower the top at
