She Paid The Price Germany's finance minister estimates tho German na tional wealth today at forty billion dollars. At the out break of the war it was one hundred billion. If Finance Minister Luther is dealing; in facts as well as figures, Ger many should not have to seek further than her shrunken national wealth for a lasting; lesson in peace. National wealth is computed on the basis of natural resources, in dustrial and commercial wealth and tangible property. Sixty per cent of her national wealth! What a price to pay for ambition and nationalism! But it seems incredible that Germany could have con sumed sixty per cent of her national wealth during tho four years of the World war, so the figures of Germany's minister of finance may bear examination. In 1920 the London Bankers' Institute estimated Germany's national wealth as eighty-three billions. That figure probably ap proaches nearer the truth. Germany's war cost would still be stupendous and tho peace lesson unmitigated. .However, if the Luther figures are based on fact and German wealth has actually shriveled by more than half, there emerges a formidable) indictment of the Gorman rep r.ratioiis policy. Granting that her war losses were thirty billions, it would mean than since tho armistice the Ger mans have dissipated thirty billions of their national wealtji. Her total reparations assessment was only thirty-three bil lions. It can reasonably bo asked if Germany has been wilfully wasting her national wealth at the rate of five bil lions annually to avoid payment of her reparations? Ferhaps it is well for Germany and for her recent ene mies that the reparations commission through the General I)awes committee is at last devoting all its energy to tho reparations issue and Germany's economic ability to pay.
