How, probably, will salaries after the
war compare with those paid before
the conflict started? Will the before-1
the-war industries that are all but
dead now revive immediately so as to
give employment and money to men,
now soldiers, who must pay the taxes
?
These are quuestions put by an Associated
Press correspondent to some
of the leading industrial men and
economists in Germany in an effort
to get at least a hypothetical solution
of the problem that is being discussed]
in almost every newspaper in the em-j
pire, under the heading, "New
Taxes."
The majority of men to whom the j
foregoing questions were put seemed i
to be unanimous in the opinion that'
salaries and wages after the war prob
ably will not advance beyond their
present height?which is far beyond
what there were before the war in the
case of wages?because they are high
enough to care for all proposed increase:,
in taxation. This majority
is So confident in Germany's thorough (
economic soundness and in her economic
future that they maintain, in
effect, no increase is going to be necessary.
A combination of frugality
which the average German is easily
capable of, and of a business boom of 1
unprecedented proportions, these mc' 1
believe is going to do away with the. ,
necessity of imposing the burden ofj 1
higher wages on employers.?
The minority is divided between '
those who do believe that increased
emoluments for workers are going to
bo a necessity, with a consequent re- j
(taction for a time of capital available!
for investment, and those who are not1
sure, but who think that it may eas- |
ily be that employers will feel that it |
is the just if not the necessary tiling!
for them to length their pay rolls. I ,
corrc^^r.dcht found, however'
. * i c
Ar. alme.st tudversal tendency to touch,
but very lightly on that salaried class ,
of workers, petty officials, clerks, andjj *,
So on, who benefit least from their' v
country's economic well being but ,
who must help carry the burden of
extra taxation if that becomes necessary.
In virtually every instance the
answers to the questions in the open-( |
ing paragraph applied to workmen 1
getting wages rather than to workers;
receiving salaries. i n
Sigmund Bergmann, principal own- (
er and director general of the Berg-j
mann Electrical Works, probably the i
second concern of its kind in (ler-; ^
'many, may be said to be a fair exam-; n
pta of the majority, except that lie I
makes certain reservations . He bo-I
lieves existing wages are high enough'
to cover whatever taxation may come \
?unless the countries now at war;
with Germany consistently and for a j
long period of time refuse to renew ,
commercial relations with her. 11
P: of. I>r. Julius of one of Cior-1J
( I
manv's b?6t known economists, as- ([
sumes an optimisti * standpoint be-1
cause he says that Germany even to-!,
dav with war loans of almost 20,000,- \ |
uuu,UOi> of marks, plus tho entire j
debts of empire and ail the states, is' j
really only just about even now. This j 1
enormous debt, he says, is balanced i j
by state and national possessions?l!
railroads, forests, domains and mines.
The Entente Powers, collectively and
individually, he believes, are so much
worse off that after the war they will
be broken, and Germany much better
off, will have a commercial field in
which to recuperate with little or no
oposition from her present enemies.
