That is exact. and I am glad if the recent agreements come to directly between German industrial heads and residents of the devastated districts of France, as allowed for since 1919 in the treaty. Our devas- tated regions will thus probably come by more raw materials than they re- i quire, but our budget will continue to show 'a deficit; the franc will continue to fall, and it will be necessary to rely on a loan in order to advance the sums which Germany owes us, with the result that our responsibilities will become increasingly heavy. Yes. but it is argued that during that time we can control the finances of the Reich, reduce her expenditure, limit her inflatfon and forbid the ex- port of her capital. But. unfortunately, this fine program ar- rives too late, when the {1l aiready is done and there is nothing more to control, and when the major portion of Germany's capital has been ex- ported.

Could not a project be further en visazed of giving Germany's creditors an interest in Germany's big indus- trial and financial organizations? Would not this be a first realization of the general mortgage on Germany ‘wealth tten into the treaty, d which in state property alone amounts to forty milliards of gold marks Such solutions seem more hopef: than the scheme for a moratotium, purely as a negative rheasure.
