said that the financial situation ^01
of all the nations associated against ex
the Germanic coalition, must, at the co
end of their effort, be adjusted with no
due regard for the efforts and sacri-|
fices made by each, taking into ac- K?
count their respective resources and t'1'
their ability to pay.

In view of the fact that France an

for indemnity.

"That indemnity," he added, j
'must be considerable. But it ought ge
lot to be so big as to place the Ger- wj|

or a prolonged period. That would;
eventually engender further strife, Kr<
