Yet their assertions are somewlat in keeping with the statement of the Municly Independent Committeo for German peace which says that Ger- many’s wealth of $90,000,000,000, owned before the war, has been wiped out by the operations of three years. This, too, be an over-estimated appraisal of Germany's financial plight. Yet, it is obvious that Ger- many has not 2s much money today as it did on August 4, 1914.
