There is one fac- | tor largely responsible for Germany's condition today and that is the de- {cline of the mark which has been | steady and continuous since the arm- pistice. The currency is worth one- { Seven-hundredth of what it wae be- | fore the war and while it stimulated | business for a time, a gradual de- | moratization was the inevitable re- sult.

They are enthusias- tic and confident, and after hundreds of years have come into their own and are determined to build up a na- tion. They have the great bulk of | the industrial and commercial area ! of old Austria. They have a popula- tion of 14,000,000 and an industrial establishment for 45,000,000. The thing that tha people of Europe need most is a &impler plan--freer trade, but you may as well look for heaven at the present time." Asked what was to become of the mark, the speaker sa'd that it would never come back to its old value. He to realize that it would not last for- ever, and that the holders of large amounts of paper money would in six months or a year, not be so very well off. A frantic rush to get rid of the Paper money by buying property | brought about considerable activity. Put there was 'the morning afier.' Froduction is less than it was before the war. Germany lost half of her 'ron and coal deposits to Poland and France, and nine-tenths of her mer- chant shipping. The people are weaker physically than before, and there is the spirit of uncertainty abroad and class friction which slows |up production. Land has deterior- ated from lack of cultivation. Reparations Payments, "Speaking generally, I think that « | We should recognize that a large amoun: of indemnity has been paid in the loss of termitory, and colondes. Cermany has made a very consider- able payment, but not in money and in goods as expected. It is claimed that measures have not been taken to effectually meet her obligations. For instance, that there is a lack of economy in the administration, that the civil service 1s overcrowded with employees and that a good deal of money is being spent on construction that could as well have been post- poned, and that capitalists have large deposits and investments abroad. It greater savings were made nobody outside of France would think that the payments can be made, but that saw better prospect for Russian cur- rency. He thought that the only solution for the currency was an issue of new marks to be exchanged for the 500 and 1,000 old marks. A hearty vote of thanks was ten- dered to Prof. Skelton on the motion of Rev. Dr. R. J. Wilson. ---- The German Mark Swindle. Watertown, N. Y., Standard. The outstanding thing about the swindle of Americans in German marks is that mist of victims are native Germans or 'chixdren of Ger- man parents, ' Some Americans of other stock have caught the fever of speculation but, the Germans and German des- cendants are the ones who have bought heavily in full faith that the value of the mark would be maintain- ed. For every mark bought by spec- the fatherland good gold has been sent into Germany, Germany has played upon gullible Americans to gather in good money for bad, and when 'the victims had been mulcted to the limit, the printing presses were speeded up and the paper mark depreciated to almost nothing. Perhaps the policy was deliberate --probably was--. It may be Ger- mapy"s way of punishing those in America who failed to rise in revolt during the war, but instead remain- ed loyal to America. At any rate the Germans have taken from this coun- try hundreds of thousands of dollars in good money in return for so much paper that has no value. If this fe an indication of the Ger- man attitude toward their friends, what can be expected toward those who were their enemies? The mark fraud has given new evidence of German regard for world friend- ship, ---------- Hon.
