f Germany keeps going under CRUSHING BURDENS ! 1 Economists Unable to Solve My*tc~y of Nation's Ability to Function i 1 Rutledsce Rutherford. an Am: rv.-i'i resident in Germany, . i The D'.-.u'^ T? 1 . . Iorues to wabble along' somchf-W v m 1 applies of raw materials are :<> v_ | rfU'i;in uium.t n some lines of business, while ethers ave been visited with ^tajrnation and Jireatened ruin. The disastrous >po; ilation in foreign bills has been ivumed. Two bi.e: bank:- recently fai'd, and many factories have had to ay otT their employes because of the shortage of coal and raw materials. . : B Few will dare hazard a guess as to V the future, especially after the fail I ure of the Cannes conference materially to lighten the reparations burdens. Withal, manv industries, as I 1 textiles, for instance, are stiii going it high pressure. Textile firms have T .l in many instances increased their ( working hours. Most of them are 1 : still on full seven days a week. Some #5 (I employ shifts. The how and the why of it is not f easily explained. Predictions of the c world's most famous economists havs \ *:een set at naught. Italian and Swe- s dish financial publications declare it C utterly inexplicable how Germany * keeps up at all under present condi- r tions. By many she is being held up 3 as "the mystery nation." The Man- I Chester Commercial says: [u Great surprise is expressed at Gor- i many's continuing to operate exten- r ir> t'np of the greatly de- i I predated value of the mark. The po- r f sition seems beyond the power of the c average Englishman to understand.' j c Indeed, it is beyond the power of 1 the average American or other aver- t age person to understand. It is not c alone "the depreaciated value of the C r mark" that Germany must "operate in the face of." This is but one effect t of the underlying causes which entail h the burdens she must carry. The c handicaps under which Germany la-,bors must be realized to obtain any- {I thing: like a clear understanding of j her industrial status. Her present. t I plight is condign punishment for her a I sins, no doubt. But if the victim' writhes in agony under the torture.' c sf becomes flighty on occasions and < seems to lose her balance, as at pros- 7 ent, the world should not be surpris- : ed. Greek mythology knew of no t I more terrible punishment than !hnt of c the Denaiacis who naa to pour war.;?-, j continually into a barrel v.i L ge hole ort of punishment arrears o ' ave i '^een meted out to Germany. 3Te- ; eople are laboring hard. American , isitors declare that Germany is the c :niy European nation that has return- ; - c to work. But the work is of II1113 , I vail. Nearly all the awards ero for \ eneraticr.s. There's a hole in the : bottom of the barrel. j Kas But Few Natural Resources First, let it be borne in mind tha* even before the Versailles conference fixed the price Germany must pay, <he "vvus not so large as Toxas, bir with nearly 70,000.000 mouths to feed and backs to clothe. Tier soil ">.vas infertile, for the most part. Her wnrp notatoL-s and beets. About the only other natural, resources were coal and iron. Of these, before the war. there was an ; * abundance. But the people could ; not eat nor wear coal and iron, and i where would they obtain materials i for clothing? Germany produces no < cotton at all. only about six per cent < 1 * i J r?A ol her wooj requirements ana zv ;>tr < cent of her flax consumption. Before 1 the war, as now, Germany was do- ] j pendent for her very existence on i the free intercourse between nations, i i Then, as now, her main concern was, s cotton and wool. That is by far the i i 2. ii A ?: ? ,.A ?f +1,^ 1 mosi inrtraieiiiiig ?&pwc ui mv ? < ent situation in Germany?the grow- J' ing shortage of cotton and wool and. the inability to import with the de-jl predated currency. Some spinners < and weavers yet have large stocks ' ? they accumulated when the mark was 1 higher, but what they will do when the^e stocks are exhausted is a proa- ( ; Jem not easy to solve. Before the war Germany -well realized her dependence in this respect and was putting forth desperate efforts to remedy the weakness through ] the medium of her colonies, especial- < lv in respect to cotton production.1; Down in East Africa in the land of : i Tanganyika, German experts discovered a wonderful soil for cotton. |. Seers of Egyptian cotton were int>*oduced into the Rufiji delta and the resin: was a :ony: siajuc ^iowui. cjuhj t to that of the finest product of ;he ] S'ilt'. The crop was incrcasi-v.? !?y , eap'i ana . in i'.<<i2 a orienti- ; if school wa - founded at Mpankanva ; .o ^ive the natives thorough instruc- , on in cotton cultivation.

What the acu;;! ii&ures for 1914 might have been annot bo stated, but in 1017 the ' > ir'sh seized 13,000.000 pounds of u*:or. in the Rufiji district alone.

Germany has been j ilmost completely denuded of( raw,1 r.aterials, and apparently deprived ' ;f means of acquiring: them, for the ! a,^3 mofl- fnvmj bav- ' IVpiCVIiitVU u ier that is almost impossible to 1 mport raw materials from abroad : M'oup* the medium of Germany's own 1 urrency.

Huge Surrender of Goods But the Versailles peace did more 1 ;han strip Germany of all her colo-.; nies and her most productive terri:ory, and this must be borne in mind 1 :o clearly understand Germany's pres?nt position. It took away her mer- 1 .-antile fleet, so that she was compell ?d r> !-> :i'] hor raw products in foreign . bottoms and pay the high prices in foreign currency. It took away her river and canal craft. It deprived Germany of nearly everything, so to peak, and so she had to begin all jver again. Five thousand of her best locomotives were taken away, as were also 250,000 passenger anci freight cars, leaving Germany with a lot of r'ckely rolling stock, which for ; i long time completely paralyzed railway traffic. All the Diesel engines which were such a valuable aid to German commerce, have had to be either given over or destroyed. She has had to deliver up 5.000 motor trucks. Other items include 14.000 airplanes delivered to the Entente ::nd 1*1,476 destroyed; 27,695 air plane engines delivered and 2*1,470 destroyed; 58.000.000 active detonators delivered and equal number destroyed. All guns and munitions have been delivered or destroyed. Armies of men are now engaged at Germany's expense blowing up forts and battleships, destroying armaments nnd former armament-, wrecking roti uition factories, and every kind enterprise which hears a .suspicion service for war purposes.

But all this does not begin to t( :h<? story of Germany's handicaps. s the cash indemnity that Germai ? new struggling: to pay that h; eally caused her to staler.

This cash inder nity is the mozi collosal sum ever r. essed under any conditions of w; >r peace in the history of the worl it is so vast as utterly to be beyor he grasp of human imagination. .A ;he world stood aghast at trie repar :ions demands of 4,000,000,000 mar! vhich Germany levied on France 1871. That was truly terrific, but vas a mere bagatelle compared he 132,000,000,000 gold marks (S3 380,000,000) now demanded of Gc niiny.

Staggering Money Figures The London schedule of payment which assists Germany to the exte: >f prescribing the installments which Germany shall meet her ob ^aiions, further provides that Bel? jm's war debts shall be consider; ipart and in addition to the 132,00( 300.000 prold marks formerly fixed he total reparations debt. Belgiun 'aims include 2.200,000,000 ? o narks ($52^,900,000 >, which B?. 1' :v.v. o~xv< Franc* : *300.000.000 .si wes England; $250,000,000 she o\v \mcrica, ;?nd a few other items whi< Germany is asked to pay. Added s'il th:c is the cost of the army occupation, which Germany must pa amounting to 5,000.000,000 go marks ($1,200,000,000). The Inter-Allied commission in e ercising its control over German ri ances, and fo oi. is costing'the Gc man people 1,240,000,000 gold mar i month. Then there are the claii r?f individuals ajrainst the Germ; governlYient for additional millio yet untold. "While German proper in enemy lands was confiscated ai became an asset to those lands. Ge many must pay for every faithing liamage done to enemy property Germany, as well as elsewhere in ti far-flung area of the World war. Th these claims will not be underestims ed may be guessed from the fact th the claims for damages done to pro erty in the devastated regions France and Belgium amount to mo than the assessed property value all the buildings in France and B; glum combined. Reduced to pap marks, the iega' tender of German the original reparations demanr aside from the extra claims of B< srium, the claims of private individ ils, the cost of the* army of occup tion, and other extras, amount 23,200,000,000,000 marks, figur such as only the astronomer heret fore has had to deal v/ith. Of late a series of demands ha been made on Germany for treme dous expenditures. There follow thick and fast the milliard mark go payment, the Loucheur-Rathen; agreement for the payment in kind 7.000 milliard marks in three and or half years, the dismemberment Upper Silt-sia and the giving over Poland of the Siiesian Black Counti the richest commercial district for i size in the world, demands for pa ment of claims to private individua iuns from banks from which Germa: has borrowed to meet reparations ci mands, and the demand of a pay me nf > novponfawn r< n -ill ovMnrls riilditiori to th? fi]vr*ir.Mit~ muM? uirjiaKiwwax ~Tziz~.-*~mr~ra*m.?wicxjnfr .?* -m? of 2.000,000,000 marks annually of $500,000,001)), there is the: at ; !Iictl plan fom .-iking Germany pay to 2~> per cent cf h: export? hi repirr-! at ions.
