Warnings are being- published that Germany is swiftly heading into panic and financial collapse. Ger man specialists appear suddenly to have awakened to the imminent danger. An article in the Berlin World is headlined 'Harbingers of Collapee.' 3 ts pessimistic writer says: "The decaying flower of Germany's eco nomic life is unmistakably ripening into disintegration. At several spots in our economic life the first victims of the impossible and untenable con ditions in which we live are gather ing. "The end of the race between rising prices and wages has arrived and a collapse will be reached when the last possibility of raising prices and wages is exhausted. Unemployment is already increasing greatly in va rious places. Palliatives are merely postponing the catastrophe." An other article in the same paper is headlined "The Crisis in the Busi ness World." CataMrophe la Faced. The Vossische Zeitung said recent ly, "The catastrophe is not only com ing, it ie already here," while the Vorwaerts remarked: "We have con stirMy pointed out the gigantic dan ger 'of our financial position. Taxa tion already weighs so heavily on the lower strata of people that it cannot be extended. We stand on the thresh hold of bankruptcy of the system of free play of economic forces " Georg Bernhardt, economist and editor of the Vossische. writes: There are only two ways out of the prf-ent conditions either sys- t-nianc urgan tzanun ui our utiiiuuiii conomy for the purpose of increas ng ; .production, or else bolshevism. 'or the continued mounting of the paper money Tlood, the continued nominjtj Increase of wages, the con tinued inflation of all prices and the consequent continued depreciation of money produce the same effects as the bloody terror in Russia. BolahevlMm Seen Coming. "Socially it spells a revolution which must reduce the economic system to ruin. The fear of socialism and the consequent propaganda for the free play of economic forces merely accelerate the coming of the chaos of bolshevism. Ex -Secretary of State Dr. August Mueller says: "Momentarily we are leeling the forerunners of an internal cnis. Business is coming to standstill: goods bought at fantastic fancy prices are no longer salable, and it will not be long before indus trial production is seized by the feel ing of a crisis which already is re vealed in commercial circles. "For Germany's ability to export is rapidly dwindling because the cost of production ie constantly mounting, while the improvement in German mark exchange abroad has eliminated the indirect export premium, which was the effect of the low valuation of the mark."
