RS N ‘A TALE OF TWO NATIONS Fifty years ago, without demur or delay, prompt to the minute according to agreement, France paid to Germany the‘l sum oft 500,000,000 francs, the first installment of the total in-| demnity of 10 times that amount arising from her defeat in| the Franco-Prussian war. ter the surrender of Paris and less than two months after the| arrangement of the preliminaries of peace. France had been| compelled to cede to Germany the whole of Alsace, except Bel-| fort, and the province of Lorraine, including the fortresses of | Metz and Strasburg, and’to agree to pay an indemnity of 5,000,,—{ 000,000 francs within three years. The German army of occu-; pat_t&on was to be withdrawn gradually as each installment was paid. France surprised Germany and the world by paying the huge sum, much greater then than now, long before the final date prescribed. France had not invaded German territory, had caused no damage to German towns and industries, had not laid waste her fields. The indemnity imposed was for the sole purpose of paying Germany’s expenses in the war, which had added so materially to her national wealth. § Today, 50 years after,, it is Germany’s turn to do the pay- ing. And how is she meeting the situation which she has brought upon herself by her acts of aggression and vandalism? One moment she tries the baby act, pleading with tears for mercy from hgr “oppressors.” When this does not seem to avail, she begins to bluff. But neither tears nor threats will avail the biggest “welcher” in history, the bully and braggart that now has been brought low. Germany cannot wriggle out of it. Germany must pay. - Two years after cessation of hostilities Germany has paid scarcely two per cent of the damage she caused. And three she had caused no material damage to German territory, France had begun to keep her agreement and pay her indemnity. It is Germany’s turn. | This was less than three months af- 7 wondering what he was going to do. He hesitated, wildly nervous for what seemed like an age.
