" "Tell the story in terms of John Smith . . . John Smith's family . John Smith's dog . . ." But today is an exception. There are some tsalistics dictated by a man named Hitler. And to the John Smiths of five countries, and to the families of John Smiths, the total forms the most tragic burden in the world: You can say it quickly. It is four billion dollars. | It is Hitler's bill to Norway, to Den- mark, to Belgium, to the Netherlands, and to france. It is purely a busi-' ness proposition. These countries lost ' their wars. They must pay the ex- pehses of the armies of occupation-- $4,200,000,000 a year. Germany didn't make the figure public. Perhaps the Nazis knew that ' nobody reads statistics and thought | that the world wouldn't be interested. But Britain was interested. A parliamentary secretary recently put' the figures together and explained them to the House of Commons. He couldn't get the amounts for Poland, for Rumania, of for Bulgaria. | But even without them the total com- | pares quite favorably with all that Germany paid in reparations for the War of 1914-18. : And even a world which is not in-|- terested in figures, and*has forgotten them, will remember. the protest that Germany made over the "iniquities of | Versailles". Jt will remember the conviction with which German states- men assailed the "astronomical" de- mands of the Dawes and Young plans.

Their economy has been dis- rupted by wag, their markets shut off. | Their. raw materials' 'are restricted, and their supplics. requisitioned by a conqueror. Yet France, for instance,' is charged more than twice the actual cost of maintaining the Reich's legions on French soil; and the Germans are using the difference to "purchase" an interest in French industry. If John Smith is a Norwegian, it will cost him $100 a year, If he is a Netherlander,-it will amount to about $26 annually. Nor does the burden stop there.
